Hello, I'm using Activity Time Series by Date Range endpoint to get active and BMR energy.
Documentation says that "calories" request should return BMR + manually/automatically tracked activities ("inclusive of BMR, tracked activity, and manually logged activities"). "activityCalories" also should include BMR ("This includes activity burned calories and BMR.")
However from the result it's clearly seen that both requests don't include BMR calories. My daily BMR is about 1766 calories, but "activityCalories" varies from "0" to "2826" (when I have a lot of activities), "calories" varies from "674" to something like "1543".

Link to docs https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/activity-timeseries/get-activity-timeseries-by-date-r...
These are results that I got using "/activities/caloriesBMR/", "/activities/calories/" and "/activities/activityCalories/" API.

Hi @mrnk
When you get a chance, would you please retest the Get Activity Time Series endpoint to see if you're getting the same values for "calories".
Thanks!
