I just have to rant a bit.
About 11 months ago, I had my first visit to Chipotle Mexican Grill. I sat there for about 1.5 hours, most of it painstakingly entering the ingredients of my burrito into the Fitbit app.
Today I decided to try them again and sat down to enter my burrito once more. First item search: "chipotle mexican grill burrito ingredient carnitas." No results. A "burrito BOWL ingredient carnitas" comes up, many "bowl ingredients" in fact, but not the one I'm searching for. I decide the app is too cumbersome and I'm at my computer, so I'll do it in my browser — still no results. I finally resign myself to use the "bowl" and customize it. I add the other ingredients while I'm at it. Now my dinner entries are all "Burrito Ingredien..." because the column widths are too narrow, but I guess based on the calories.
I get into the carnitas and customize it. I delete the "Bowl" from the name, add a "1 serving" size based on the Chipotle nutrition page (because who knows the weight of each ingredient that ends up in there?), and try to save it. I get an error saying I already have a custom food with this name!!! IT TURNS OUT I DID THIS ALREADY, AND THE SEARCH JUST NEVER LOOKED IN "MY FOODS"!!! The same thing happened for most of the other ingredients that the search did turn up. Customize for 1 serving and I already have a custom food with that name.
Once again, I've spent at least three times as long entering a meal in my Fitbit log as it took to eat it. This is why there are weeks or months of empty space in my food log. Eventually, I come to a point where it's more effort in data entry than I'm willing to put in. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BEST MATCH FOR A SEARCH AS SPECIFIC AS "chipotle mexican grill burrito ingredient carnitas" is "Chipotle Mexican Grill, Burrito Bowl Ingredient, Carnitas," AND IT'S THE 8TH **ahem**ING RESULT!!!!

@PhoenixofMT - There are several other tracking apps that work with Fitbit. You may want to check some of them out to see if they are more to your liking. Some details are here.
