What kind of Fitbit tracker do you have?

Doesn't it record steps (and therefore records them as exercise) automatically?

I have a fitbit Flex....It does track my steps,but my question is if the
steps count as exercise? I know they recommend 10.000-12.000 steps in a day
for humans as basic health,but is it fair to put the steps in the foodlog
as exercise?? Or is it the steps after the recommend 10.000-12.000 steps in
a day that counts as exstra exercise??
If you know what I mean,it's hard to explain???

Kind regards

Don't know/confused by what you are saying/asking.

The steps are already recorded as exercise, so it seems you would be recording them twice.

Don't understand about entering steps in "foodlog", that's where you only log food you've eaten.

your steps are automatically logged as exercise. youdo not need to add them into your log again. the steps your tracker logs is already configured into your calories burned, activity minutes and such. if you log it yourself manually, youare double recording and your calories burned count will be over/not accurate. hope this helps!

Is there an echo in here ...

[ohmscheeks]

It seems that you add exercise to your food log to increase your remaining food calories/carbs/whatever for the day. I think it is "fair" to count all of your steps as "exercise". It doesn't matter whether they are "basic health" steps as you put it or extra steps. All the steps count as exercise.
