Calories left on your Fitbit display

[maunderb]

It would be amazing if, given the data you enter on your phone and data your fitbit collects, for your colories consumed or calories remaining to be displayed on your fitbit display. Please enable this!!

I would appreciate if we can add the calorie left or deficit in my fitbit tracker (surge). This shows in the smatphone app but would like to see this in tracker.

I use my Fitbit Charge HR almost completely for the fitness aspects.  Though I do log my food and stay within my goal.  It would be cool if you could have one display option that showed how many calories you have left for the day.  It would definitely be motivational when I'm thinking about that late-night cookie I don't need!

Great idea! Really wish they did this

I think it'd be really useful if one of the displays when you press the button brings up how many calories you're allowed for the rest of the day, as I always track that but have to go on my phone for it.

I think this would be very motivational! This would be much easier than trying to remember how many calories you've consumed vs. burned. Want dessert after dinner? Better run a couple more miles. Did you grab a donut in the break room at work? Better stay on that elliptical another 30 minutes.

It would be nice if calories remaining (as seen on the dashboard and in the app) could be displayed on the device as well.

+1. Why not having calories burnt then remaining calories being displayed consecutively, like a running text. Might as well adopt this with steps, too, steps taken then steps remaining. Please Fitbit..

Love this idea

I would find the FitBit twice as useful if the wristband display included the number of calories I could still consume within my daily goal. Thanks!

Hey @maunderb thank you for your contribution. I believe that having the Food Plan info on the tracker would be very useful. I will pass this along to our developers team for review. 

Any other ideas you might have, feel free to share or vote for them, if it's already suggested in the Feature Request Forum.

Have a great day!

I'd like to know my calories balance on the device. More specifically, how am I tracking with intake vs expended calories according to my weight loss strategy.

I'd love to be able to see the calories remaining for the day on the display.
