Has anybody else’s Fitbit app changed their tracking to kilojoules? I don’t know how to change it back to calories but clearly didn’t do anything cuz I woke up and it changed... also the dashboard is different it doesn’t say how many calories or in this case kilojoules I’ve burnt now ... it just has how far you’ve walk and active minutes.... help?

Ok managed to change it back to Kcal, thanks fore your help everyone. I still don't have the calorie burn icon on the app however. Does anyone know where that disappeared to or how to get it back?

Best Answer

Ok thanks this works. Point is, Fitbit has enforced an update on us users and we have to adapt and find fix instead of Fitbit doing it. Weak.

Thanks for the heads up TasBrenan. The option to change the kj to cal was not there in the settings yesterday. Hopefully FitBit reacted to our reactions!
