How to edit the calories burned?

[ScribeOfTheMist]

I would like to be able to edit the amount of calories that my Fitbit activity log thinks were burned for a "spinning" / stationary bike activity. When I bought my Fitbit one of my goals was to hopefully be able to track all my exercises under one app and account. Every other tracker I have had allows you to edit the stats for the exercise if they are not correct, but I cannot find any way to do this on the Fitbit and instructions previously posted online no longer work with the current version of the app.

It seems like an obvious thing you should be able to do for stationary bike as the Fitbit has no clue how much resistance you have set on the bike and thus the bike's estimate is going to be more accurate than the Fitbit's (and indeed, the Fitbit under-calculated by almost 50%). I hope there is a way to do this that I am missing, otherwise one of my main reasons for buying the device will be out the window within an hour of opening the box. Sorry, I am frustrated, I thought this would be easier than my Garmin tracker.

Have you seen How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities? 

Fitbit figures your calorie burn from your heart rate, which should reflect your intensity, resistance, speed.

They do not. It is not even close.

You used to be able to edit calories burned at the bottom of the workout. The option it still present, but unable to be pressed. I'm extremely annoyed by this for the exact same reason. It has no idea what resistance level I was using. 

My experience with Fitbit has been terrible. For 5 years, it had been randomly deleting my recorded workouts.

@ScribeOfTheMist  I wonder now if you were actually manually logging your stationary bike ride instead of using the Exercise App which would have used your heart rate.

Fitbit should fix this. It's clearly a bug in the app.

I reached out to them with this issue and they assured me they would fix it.  Two weeks later, they sent me a closed work order with a how'd we do survey.  It still doesn't work.  Their customer service sucks

So I just figured out that while you can no longer put in your own calorie burn while manually entering an exercise, you CAN edit it after the fact. So kind of annoying but there is a workaround.

This week they took away my ability to edit it that way 🤬
