Hi, @Manda73! Exercise doesn't sync to mfp, just step totals. Exercise only syncs from mfp to Fitbit.

@MakMak why would exercise go only from MFP to fitbit when fitbit ALREADY has the exercise real time?

@NicoletteCharge, that's how the communication was set up between the two when the two were connected years ago. I don't think it was as big of a deal then, since none of the models had heart rate monitoring or auto exercise detection. Now that they do, it would be nice if we as users could toggle which direction things go. At this point I just log food in MFP and ignore it for everything else.
