Add percentage of exercise calories to daily calories

The present version allows users to either add or not add calories burned during exercise to the daily allowance. It would be helpful to allow the option of adding just percentage of calories burned during exercise. So for example I could indicate I wanted 50% of calories I burned at the gym, added to my daily allowance not all of them.

    I'm not disagreeing with your suggestion when I say this.

    As a temporary workaround, I hope you know you can edit the calories of an exercise before adding it to your diary. That would be a way to reduce the calories added, though it would lose the information about what the original calorie estimate was. You can also create custom exercises with whatever calorie allocation you might think is more accurate.

    Granted, however, the calorie count is imported automatically from a different app.
