I've noticed that my Flex has a barcode I can scan to track food. I tried scanning an energy bar and it didn't work. Is it only for certain foods? Thank you!

Fitbit's database of bar codes is lacking many common entries. You can ask Fitbit to add it, but you still have to wait for them to do so to use it, or you can add it manually.

It's nice to have you on board @RobynLeigh1! Welcome! Man HappyI noticed @SunsetRunner provided you with great information to resolve this. I'd like to add that if you're using international food databases, the barcode scanning option is currently not available. For the time being, barcode scanning is only available for the US food database. 

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! Robot Happy
