Gaining weight and calorie intake

[kjuliff]

When I let Fitbit decide my calorie goal it sets it so as to gain weight which is currently 96 lb. i am 40. Lb under weight due to illness. I want to GAIN weight. I went into food and nutrition and set the options to gain weight. But when I look at fitbit’s settings I am set to MAINTAIN weight. Obviously I do not want to do this. Any suggestions?

@kjuliff -- best wishes for increasing your health and vitality.

My suggestion is to use Fitbit as a tool, and accept that, like any tool, it has limitations in terms of accuracy and functionality.  While it does not have a specific "gain weight" food plan, it provides the means for you to measure calories eaten and burned and establish a surplus - 500 excess calories per day should gain you 1 pound per week.

With that much weight to gain, I wouldn't even bother with logging food at this point. Just eat a second dinner every night.
