How to change the cal/min in the settings ?

[GerLech]

Hi

Activities come with some presets which cannot always be very accurate (as they may depend on each user). Is there a way to change that setting, so that one does not have to manually do it each time one does this activity ?

Example:

• the kayaking activity estimates about 8 calories/minute (I can wear my Fitbit)
• the sailing activity (I cannot wear my Fitbit due to the high risk of it getting very wet...) estimates only 3 calories / minute which is grossly underestimated when doing solo sports catamaran !

I would like to be able to change the sailing to be at least the same as kayaking, but cannot find a way to do so.

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

@GerLech, welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well!

Let me help you with your activities calories. You can enter the amount of calories burned for an activity when you manually log it. Follow these instructions to do so.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Logging the calories manually works fine, that is how I started doing it, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the automatic setting that Fitbit uses for this activity instead of changing it every time (being a bit lazy here )
