I would like a way to account for calories burned while standing for periods of time, such as working at a standing desk. My understanding is it currently accounts for calories burned as if you were sitting down.
@JLH6921 Fitbit takes care of that via heart rate. Calorie burn is based on heart rate. Standing will keep your heart rate higher than sitting, thus more higher calorie burn.
