One not counting stair steps

After a long period of disuse, I dusted off my One, charged it, put it around my ankle and went upstairs to ride my stationery bike. One logged lots of steps, but no stairs or floors. What am I missing?

 

Also how do I calculate my recommended calorie intake for my weight?

Floors are counted using an altimeter. An altimeter is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation, so the it calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure. Your trackers register a floor when they detect continuous motion combined with an elevation gain of about 10 feet. Given the fact that 10 feet is an average between residential and commercial floor heights, although commercial floors in particular tend to be higher than residential floors.

 

It will add floors when it is windy or cold.

 

As for the weight question I would ask that in the Weight loss board you will get a better answer
