I'm enjoying my fitbit flex. One comment is that for all the technology and user friendly features it seems odd that after entering my weight I have to go to an external website to search for a bmi calculator to calculate the body fat percentage. After doing that I then go back to the fitbit app and enter in that information. 

Just by asking people's height initially, you could  easily set up this formula calculation so when people add in their weight the app would automatically calculate bmi.

I think this is an easy and useful fix.

Thank you for your consideration.

I see your point on BMI, but that has nothing to do with body fat percentage.  BMI is just based on weight and height with no regard to how much of the weight is fat.  You say you are entering it into fitbit.  Are you entering BMI or body fat %?  I don't know where you would enter BMI.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
