Can we change the goal to number of steps instead of calories?

Can we change the goal to number of steps instead of calories?
I don't care the calories as I am a skinny person, what I care is the volume of exercise like number of steps?
Seems other brand like Fitbit are all using that as the goal standard, Apple should open this option as well.
Or anyone know how to change the goals?

I agree... it makes sense to be able to change the goals to steps.
However, you may want to consider how you look at calories. Most people think of calories with regard to dieting. However, it is really just a measurement of energy used. For example, yesterday I went on a 3 mile hike to a nearby mountain top (1200' elevation gain) and noticed I has about 5,000 steps and burned 500 calories to get there. On the way back, I also had about 5000 steps, but burned only about 200 calories.
If these were two separate workouts, both would be 5000 steps, but the first one used over twice the energy than the first. To me, the calories used is a much better metric to compare workouts (and a logical choice for a fitness goal). Calories also lets you compare different workout types (walking, running, biking, etc.) that you can't compare with steps.

  • Can't change the Message Centre Number in my Nokia...

    I have a 3 day old Nokia X. I can't send text messages due to wrong the message centre number set in my Nokia X device. When I try to change it in settings, a pop-up appears which say "It is bad to change SMSC Number. Do you want to change ?". I choose "Ok". Then nothing changes Message Centre Number is set on "+7" and does not changes. I have tried many things including removing battery and SIM Card without switching off the device and reseting the device to Factory Defaults. But the problem persists. It doesn't changes. I live in New Delhi, India.
    Any help will be appriciated.

    No I am not able to resolve the issue.
    I reset my phone without the SIM Card also but same thing repeats. I can't change the Message Centre Number. It reverts to +7 when I try and change it in settings with the pop up "Changing the SMSC may cause problems sending messages, to confirm the change ?". Then I tap "OK" and nothing changes the Message Centre Number is still +7.

  • How can i change the face time number and the Imessage, when purchasing a new sim card

    i moved countries so i bought a new sim card, my phone is unlocked i bought it from apple store at square one which is located in Canada, toronto. the main issue im facing with my iphone is i can not change my facetime number and Imessage. any help please?

    i tried turning both off and leaving them off for a while but i did not work at all,
    And that included powering the iPhone off and on after doing so included with my question?
    If so, try removing your iPhone from being associated with your Apple ID per the instructions included with this link. I would turn iMessage and FaceTime off on your iPhone before doing so.

    After doing this, your new phone number should be registered with your Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime when turning both back on with your iPhone.

  • Can I change the default phone number format?

    I a new BB user and have so much to learn!  I got a Storm (bad choice) 6 weeks ago and thought BBs were ridiculous.  Then I got the Tour and am pobably converted for life.
    In my contacts, most of my phone numbers show up as 4395551234 which is hard to read.  I have some others that show (439) 555-1234.  I have added dashes to some numbers to make them easier to see.  Is there anyway to change the option so numbers are automatically displayed in a certain format?  And why would some be different than others? I can't figure out a reason some are changed.  
    BTW, I am a devoted Mac user and love the new Desktop Software.

    It is one of the great mysteries of BBdom why users must look at a long string of 10 digits on an incoming call notification instead of having them broken down into more readable form.  Truly bizarre.

  • I can not change the registered phone number with imessage

    note that i no longer have access to my old sim card. thank you.

    Since your phone is up to date, try going into Settings>Store>Apple ID and replace the old one with the new one. Plug into the computer with the new Apple ID and transfer your purchases.

    Can it be done by using 'Actions' ?

    Hi Abhijit,
    Yes you can do this a number of ways:
    action
    badi - partner or order
    event - custom function module
    Remember that the partner determination must allow for this partner to be changed.
    Cheers

  • Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a negative number to red,  during the period the number is negative.    Thanks,

    Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a number to RED when it  comes up negative.  (only during the time that it's negative)  Thanks,  ( I hope I did this right!!) 

    The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
    The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

  • Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine? How can I change the number in face time?

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • Can we change the employee number on the employee master data form ?

    Hi,
    Simple question but can we change the employee number on the employee master data form ? We need to use the same employee numkbers from another system but just cannot interact with the employee no. in SAP 2007 ?
    Thank you,
    MB

    You canu2019t modify the employee number. It is assigned by the system sequentially.
    But you can define a user defined field to store the other systemu2019s identifier or use (and even rename) some other field to store this information.

  • On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain.

    On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

    You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • How can I change the number in iMessage send and receive on my iPhone 5c that is gray?

    HI,
    As far as I can tell you cannot delete the ID when Only one is listed.
    This would suggest that you have to add the second (Correct) one and then delete the first (wrong) one.
    I can't say I have tried this yet.
