Hi @Mattmattmatt, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to track weight gain goal. This feature suggestion already exists, so I've moved it into a similar request. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community.

I hope to see you around.

The weight management section of Fitbit focuses on caloric intake plans for weight loss or weight maintenance, but not for weight gain. We need to add plans for weight gain.

Just like it shows if you go over your calorie count for maintaining or losing weight, it should have a target calorie count that the app calculates for gaining weight. Other fitness apps like Lifesum have it already, where it asks how many pounds you want to gain and then gives you a timeline and a food plan to follow, tracking ideal macro counts

Currently the Food Plan gives this message when you enter a desired weight greater than your current weight:

Hint: Food plan does not support weight gain. You will be given a maintenance plan.

It should instead say:

Okay!
