I love how the meals export to my Fitbit, which saves me the hassle of having to enter the info twice. I don't like, though, how Myfitnesspal send over the exercise data. Since fitbit already tracks the workout and calories through the tracker it ends up doubling the info. I need to enter that info in myfitnesspal, but I don't want it sent to fitbit. Is there anyway to turn. That part off?

I don't think there is. However, if you do have an actiivty sent over, it's not doublecounting. It's overwriting the calories burned from your steps. The same thing happens in MFP when it gets the steps data. I believe it doesn't count the part that overlaps with an activity.
