Default Fitday Question

Is there a place on FitDay to enter in the exact amount of calories I've burned? I have a Polar F6 heart rate monitor so I know the amount.

Thanks!

Not that I know of - you could always tweak the activity levels and other settings until you get a number close to your average, I guess, but it won't be as accurate.

Thanks, Mandalinn. I actually did fiddle with the amount of time I went to make the calorie count go up. I was suprised to see that I had to make the time DOUBLE what I actually did to get an accurate number of burned calories. Oh well, the HRM is as accurate as it's going to get so I am going to trust that number. Thanks again!

They did add a feature where you can override your basal metabolism. I forget just where I found it. But the page shows your metabolism based on I think 3 formulas, then lets you enter your own figure if you want.

Ok, found it - on Activity Tab - on the left there is a link that says "Customize Metabolism."
