I will admit to being someone who quite recently learned what BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is and that we burn a certain amount of those calories just to live based on our gender, weight and height.
Currently Fit Bit combines BMR and activity calories together. While I think it's very valuable for people to be aware of BMR, it's also nice to see (and reward yourself) for activity based calories.
It would be really nice to have a clear seperation of the two in a real-time tally on the Dashboard and even on the Fit Bit device.
Ex. Today:
BMR - 790
Activity - 560
Active Minutes - 200
Total - 1350
Frankly, throughout my day, all I care about is activity calories. Right now as a user I have to do a calculation at end of day (total calories minus my avg BMR) to see how hard I worked that day, sweating my butt off, not just blinking and breathing.
Thanks! I'd love to hear whether or not i'm just missing something and this is available, or if it's something you'd consider for an enhancement.
