Health Connect , Google Fit and Fitbit Nutrition Information

Hi, I am trying to transfer my nutrition information from my fitbit app into google fit, but it doesn't give me the option. Is this a limitation of the health connect from fitbit?

I wanted to ask the same thing.   No answer yet it looks like.  Bummer.

Fitbit can write to Health Connect, which you can use to get data to Google Fit.

Unfortunately , Fitbit can't read data from Health Connect so if you use other fitness apps, you can't use Fitbit at the centre of your health data,

The strange thing is that the other data is writing via Health Connect to Google Fit but the nutrition isn't.   I have it all enabled so it should.   Not really a deal breaking but I would have liked to have that data sync across.   I do understand it won't work the opposite way.   I have been entering my nutrition via Fitbit so that the data starts there.

Double check in Health Connect that all data is being shared. Sometimes one of the options doesn't get enabled automatically.

I don't see the option to even sync nutrition information with Health Connect. It seems that Google needs to do a lot to integrate Fitbit with Google Fit, or combine the two apps into a better one. It's weird having both on my Pixel Watch and not being 100% happy with either.

I share your feelings. 

I just did a test and getting the same result. Only way to get nutrition info into Fitbit AND Google Fit is using a third party app. In my case Lose It! but you need a separate subscription to get that info into Fitbit.

Which shows the again that Fitbit not importing from Fit/Health Connect is the problem here. As the link between Lose It and Fitbit is direct
