I got the Versa for xmas. I synced it with runkeeper and My Fitness Pal. Today was my first day of using it. i opened Runkeeper then went for a 5 mile walk. On mfp it shows the 438 calories burned through Runkeeper, plus there is an 80 calorie fitbit adjustment. But on the fitbit app it says I'm over budget. I guess I'm just wondering if all 3 apps will just do their own thing? I didn't do anything on the versa as far as a workout, it just counted my steps. I don't want to be doubling up on calories burned and end up gaining weight.

I forgot to add that my plan is to log food only on mfp, use runkeeper for my cardio(walks and runs) and just let the fitbit do its thing.
