Cannot edit calories when manually logging a workout

[merrymanimal]

The title says it all. The option to manually enter calories from my HIIT class is blocked.

This is a bug and needs to be addressed, I've seen others commenting about this on Reddit/at my OTF gym

I agree.  I created a custom workout of "bowling", and it shows up in the phone app, but the calorie count is totally wrong, and I can't adjust it, except on the website.  That's VERY annoying.

@Wpippin26 @merrymanimal Welcome to the forums. Thanks for reaching out about the calories in a manually logged exercise. 

I can confirm, I just tried logging an HIIT training and I was not able to enter the calories; they were automatically calculated. However, it is possible to edit the amount of calories burnt right after logging it manually. Log the "HIIT" activity and then head to your list of trainings. Tap on it and then tap on the pencil icon on the top right corner. Then you are able to change the amount of calories. Give it a try! You can also log the activity over the website. There you do have the option to enter the calories manually from the start.
