    Help!
    I lead a sedentary life, work in office and otherwise I am a couch potato.

    2 months ago I moved, and now I walk on average 10000 steps per work day / about 65- 70 minutes per day as part of my commute.

    I have linked my FITBIT to this app.

    Do I add this commute walking as an exercise?

    With your Fitbit linked to MFP, it should notice the calories you burn with that walking (plus everything else you do while wearing it, which I hope you're doing nearly 24x7 for best results from linking). Given that, you shouldn't need to add the walking as an exercise.
