Restore option to log 'Calories burned' on the Fitbit app

[NicheP]

Previously I could manually enter calories, along with the time, and distance to an exercise I was adding. That option has been removed. Please bring it back so that there can be accuracy in workouts

With the new upgrade I am no longer able to log precise calories burned on the app. When I contacted help desk I was told that this was taken away.

Agreed.  Fitbit regularly mid-logs calories burned after I finish a workout substantially differing calories burned based on calories burned using my age, weight and heart rate. The inconsistencies hinder my fitness and weight loss goals.

Taking away calories burned was a knuckleheaded move, Fitbit.
May of us use Fitbit in conjunction with Weight Watchers and other weight loss programs and the calories burned is an important part of the process.
Who came up with this? Please rethink your actions and put back the calories burned feature.

I am voting for this as well. I use a vibration plate, which burns calories alone. There is no option for vibration plate in the drop-down and I have no way of adding that I burned 236 calories for 10 mins of use on high, yesterday. So even if you add the vibration plate to the drop-down, we would still need to be able to log what the machine displays, since the calories burned depends on the intensity of the shaking. 

My vote is to add the vibration plate to the drop-down, along with adding the option to log out own burned calories.

Thank you!!

If you forget to log Calories for a given day, the next day it shows as 0, and there’s no way to go back and modify it. This means you have to preemptively enter some value before the day ends or else you lose the ability to update it at all. In fact, when you click on Food to view the history, those days don't even show in the list. No way to add
