Hiking in mountains: FitBit with MFP?

[playethic]

I'm new to FitBit, and have just been on MyFitnessPal for a couple of weeks.

I'm going to do a two hour-ish hike in the mountains.  The FitBit will just log it as steps, right, and give me a calorie count based on flat steps with no scrambling? 

Can I delete/void some of the FitBit counted steps (the parts on the hike) and then enter the hiking on MyFitnessPal's activity counter instead? 

Or is the solution to not wear the FitBit so the steps aren't counted?  (But if I do that, I don't want to leave it at home since getting to the hike will involve a fair bit of walking that I want to count for steps... and I think I read that if it's in my pack, it won't necessarily not count movement as steps?)

You can wear your Fitbit while tracking activities in MFP. Don't worry about deleting steps. Assuming your accounts are synced, MFP will receive a "Fitbit calorie adjustment" based don the differential between Fitbit and MFP.

Hi, we do alot of hiking and use Fitbit for each hike. What we do is enter the hike as an exercise in the Fitbit dashboard after the event. i.e. add exercise, select hike, enter start time, duration and distance and Fitbit will make the necassary adjustments.

This will also feed back to MFP.

Hope this helps.
