Exclude BMR from Energy burned daily goal?

Thursday

Thursday

Is it at all possible to exclude the BMR from the Energy Burned daily goal? I work in MRI so cannot wear my Pixel Watch 3 for at least 8-11 hours of my day so will never be able to hit my daily goal. This aside I also like knowing at a glance how much of my burned calories are from my being physically active.

At this time all the burned calories include BMR .

@DavidHvit   Users have been asking for this feature since 2015.  Separate BMR from activity calories burned   I'm not sure it will ever happen.  Fitbit uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your BMR.  You can estimate yours.  I hope it will help you  considering you can't wear your PW at work.

Thanks for the replies. It's only my 2nd day with the PW but it's not making sense to me.

A typical day in work with the apple watch saw me coming home having burned around half my calories going for walks on my breaks. This usually requires another 60 or so minutes to reach my daily target of 1,250.

Today is the first time I have worn my PW to work and I've come home just 200 calories under my combined total target of 3,000. 

I can only assume there is a massive discrepancy in the accuracy of the PW and the apple watch. Just have to wait and see if I start putting weight back on lol
