Using fitbit and my fitness pal together

Hi I am new to fitbit and would love to know if people who also use my fitness pal, and they do something other than general steps, such as hiking, do they record these in myfitness pal or just use the steps accumulated from fitbit to track their calorie intake.  For example I went for a huge hike the other day, walked over 3.25km up and down some rather steep hills, but just used my accumulated steps, but I feel like I earnt more than just those steps - especially in the calorie department.  Any advice would be greatly accepted.

Usually I just leave that to my Fitbit to determine. It's pretty accurate when I am going faster or slower, to tell me how many calories burned and steps taken/distance travelled. If you feel like you earned a bit more, try to guesstimate how much more you think you earned, and then add that either in Fitbit, or in MFP.
