Calorie surplus diet plan

[Emmac01]

You should be able to choose a food plan than requires weight/muscle main that requires a calorie surplus. You should be able to enter goal calories not deficit goal cals. Only an available is weight loss or maintainance. Also to be able to manually put in your BMR as fitbit drastically under estimates mine making mine very invalid.

100% agree, especially on the manual BMR.  Seems to be a frequently brought up, known issue, that FitBit's BMR calc is not great. allowing this to be manually adjusted, or imported from a smart scale would be really helpful, and seems like a small, easy fix.

I think all of the calorie data is suspect due to this (if mine was correct i would be losing pounds a week...)

It would be nice if there was also a food plan to eat in a calorie surplus. Not everyone wants/needs to lose weight. Some people need to gain weight.

Please add the upvotes on this topic to the other topics asking for you to add weight gain programs and features. This is the third topic I have seen now asking for these types of features to be added and I’d like Fitbit development team to take this request seriously.

[Emmac01]

Its a fairly basic feature request too.

Yes, shouldn't this be an obvious option for a fitness product, being underweight is actually more unhealthy than overweight, how this have been missed as an option for so many years since the first product is stunning. I feel hustled and fooled by their marketing. I explicitly search for a kcal tracking smart watch and people rated the Fitbit charge 5 as the best watch out there that hade everything, yeah everything except making sure you're in an anabolic window to get fitt... After buying it I feel some what scammed, first you buy the watch and then you need to pay a monthly fee to get the full experience? And to top it all off, it doesn't even give you the option to stay within you kcal surplus goal... Jesus... I'm contemplating returning this product and canceling my membership immediately.
