Bring back sedentary food plan option to Fitbit app

My fitbit updated and automatically changed my daily calorie estimate from sedentary to personalized. The personalized setting is over estimating my calories burned and saying I can eat more than i should and causing my food plan to over eat. Even if i try to anticipate it, the numbers change, causing me to not meet my weight and nutrition goals
This is needed because:
The ability to change the sedentary vs personalized setting only existed in the web dashboard and not the app. Now it's stuck in a setting I don't like without a way to fix it on the app
I'd use this: Daily

I hate seeing that I'm over my calorie estimate just because I eat breakfast early. If we can no longer opt for the "sedentary" option for cal estimates, at the VERY least take down the help article that's says this is possible!!

The instructions for this setting is still in the "Learn more" section for the calorie counter.  I spent way too much time looking for this option only to find that it's not there!  Please bring this option back.
