Fitbit app not saving nutrition info correctly

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

When I register my own food in the android app manually.
Then it doesn't save all the data correctly and the macro-nutrients are wrong and I could be tricked into eating the wrong balance.

 

For example number 1, If I add a yogurt with the following content:
Energy: 60 cal
Fat: 0.2g
Carbohydrates: 3.5g
Sugars: 3.2g
Protein 10g

 

Save. Adding it to my eaten today list, and choosing to edit it to see the contents, then it has saved like this:
Energy: 60 cal
Fat: 0g
Carbohydrates: 3g
Sugars: 3g
Protein 10g

----------------------------
Example 2, I registered a new food product like the first one:
Energy: 60 cal
Fat: 0.2g
Carbohydrates: 3.4g
Sugars: 3.4g
Protein 11g

 

And it became:
Energy: 60 cal
Fat: 0g
Carbohydrates: 3g
Sugars: 3g
Protein 11g
------------------------------------


Example 4, registered a protein shake:
Energy: 161cal
Fat: 0.4g
Saturated fat: 0.2g
Carbohydrates: 0.7g
Sugars: 0.4g
Potassium: 160g
Protein: 38g

 

And when I check afterwards, it has saved:
Energy: 161cal
Fat: 0.4g
Saturated fat: 0g
Carbohydrates: 0g
Sugars: 0g
Potassium: 160g
Protein: 38g
---------------------------------------

Any suggestions how I can make it to save all data correctly?

Thanks

As a temporary solution, I changed the values on the web page instead and then it was saved correctly.
And the App downloaded and displayed the correct values.

 

But something is wonky with the app. Maybe when it converts "," and "." sign or handle some international settings.

(Looks right when i save as new item, but not when I logged the food and went back editing the content of the item)

Now I noticed that when I check the Android App to see how much I have eaten,

the tree row text summary are realistic and ~same as webpage, but the staples are off in their numbers when you press on them.

 

Text summary:
21% Carbohydrates (26g)
20% Fat (11g)
59% Protein (73g)

 

But the bar chart says
113g Carbohydrates
108g Fat
310g Protein.
