User defined multiplier to improve calories tracking

Users should be able to add a multiplier setting in calories tracking. For example, if I know the app is exaggerating my calories I could set this option to 80%. Then all daily and exercises calories estimates are multiplied by 80%. Call it an advanced user option and keep it hidden somewhere.
This is needed because:
I am using Fitbit for quite some time now and unfortunately I cannot rely on the calories. It exaggerates my calories - I burn around 2.6k kcal per day and the tracker keeps reporting 3.6k kcal. Its off by 1k kcal or 40%. I track what I eat. If I could make the estimates more reasonable the tracker would be much more valuable.
I'd use this: Daily
