Integration with Exercise / Bodybuilding apps
I suspect I'm not the only one who haunts the gym...
Is there a way to enhance the Exercise option to be able to list our workouts/cardio sessions? I believe that would make the burned calories estimate more accurate.
(I've yet to find a great exercise tracking app, so if someone has a suggestion...)

@MarekArawn we integrate with a number of fitness tracking wearable devices as well as Google fit and Apple health. We are also in the process of integrating with Samsung health!

I agree with @MarekArawn
I'd love to see bidirectional support for Google Fit and Garmin Connect. And with the latter it'd be great if Garmin Connect's "Daily Activity" or "Active" calories would map to Activity Level and for GC's "Resting Calories" (which more accurately includes basal and thermic activity based on Firstbeat HR monitoring) to take the place of BMR.
For users without HR tracking, and to fill-in gaps in HR coverage, Cronometer is uniquely positioned to better estimate thermic activity based on the type of each calorie and when consumed, but it currently doesn't utilize the data to do this.
Lastly, the default BMR doesn't attempt to factor in body fat and if it is changed by the user, this change is retroactive, despite biometrics. The BMR of someone losing or gaining weight could change meaningfully over a few weeks. It'd be great if Katch-McArdle and other BMR formulae could be selected for automatic use dependent on the daily data points.
