Add Calorie to Steps conversion

The majority of my activity is not of the conventional "stepping" variety. I see that Fitbit is compatible with MyFitnessPal. If Fitbit can use my age, weight and height to calculate Calories burned based on my number of steps, it should be very easy to convert an imported activity Calories from MyFitnessPal to Step Equivalents in the Fitbit app to get a much more accurate idea of daily activity. So far I have tried skateboarding, rollerblading, cycling and Tai Chi and none of them have accurately been assessed by my Fitbit. This would also make it more viable for people like me to enter challenges.
