Why do you want to keep track of your steps in MFP anyway? I have a Garmin so it is associated, but I keep track of steps on my Garmin app. If you connect apps you will get a calorie addition to your daily cals and let me assure you - those additions are not benefitial to you!
Find the cals where you loose weight even doing nothing and see your steps and training as a bonus. Adjust your cals to as much possible where you still lose weight and be happy.
Calculate your cals = Desired goal weight in pounds x 12.
In my case 150 x 12 = 1 700 daily cals.
Protein = 150 x 1 = 150 grams of pure protein0 -
Are we talking purposeful walking or running, or everyday activity? If the former then you can log this as running or walking and not as steps. If the latter then that's part of your daily activity that you set when you set your weightloss and activity goal. You can always change that again.0

Yes, under Cardiovascular - Walking, various speed options.
As yirara said though, beware of double counting. If you estimate your TDEE based off being Very Active which includes a lot of steps in general daily activity, then separately log, "I walked 10K steps today", that's double counting. Use this option for additional specific exercise activity.0
