Allow starting calorie count to be manually reset

I would really like to be able to reset the calories to zero.  Upon waking up mine reads over 400 calories used.  I do not wear my Alta to sleep in, so when I put it on, the calories should say zero.  I would love to have a way to set it to zero.  Otherwise I just have to ignore the calories burned setting, which is too bad, because it could be useful!

Hi @mickiesb, welcome to the community ! 

 

Your tracker's calorie count will reset each night at midnight and begin counting immediately thereafter. BMR is the reason your tracker starts the day with calories already burned you've still burned calories even if you haven't gotten out of bed yet, to know more about the BMR and how it works please check this article How does Fitbit estimate how many calories I've burned?

 

Hope this helps !
