There seems to be no feature currently other than a manual addition, where the Fitbit can record hard work done at a slow pace. In particular the calorie burn calculation will be woefully under done after a hard days work at walking pace. I see it often on my Fitbit. Spend a day with a wheel barrow and a shovel and don,t even meet my calorie target, according to the Fitbit anyway.

I wish Fitbit had this option. I had the jawbone up and it really worked with reminding me to move around abit. Especially on those lazy nights I'd find myself cleaning and moving around more. Maybe an update???

Hello guys @Tymjennings @SunsetRunner, welcome to the Fitbit Community Smiley Very Happy! I'd recommend taking a look at these articles #1 and #2 to get more information about how your calories are being calculated.

 

Happy stepping!
