Option to add "Eating hours" to avoid seeing "Under/over Budget"

It would be exponentially more valuable to have the capability to tell the Fitbit app what my typical eating hours are, e.g 9am - 7pm. This way, the algorithm for calculating if I'm 'over, under, in the zone', would be way more accurate. It's frustrating to wake up to "under budget" and then see "over budget" at 7pm when I'm done eating for the day

I imagine most people don't graze for literally 24 hours a day, so really without setting an 'eating window', the labels of over,under, or in the zone are pretty ineffective tools for gauging your calorie budget.

I would like this feature added to track intermittent fasting.  With reminders to eat & fast.
