 Why can't you add food without cheese  I eat 6 grapes it says 1cup. This is not a cup   you can't measure in half cup . I use an air fryer so no calories from oil like at fast food .  I cook a lot at home and do not use salt in my cooking  can't add this either    you need to think out side the box as everyone has health issues I eat no Dairy or salt if possible except if i eat out i can not control salt in food.

@Darcey48 Welcome! It's good that the community is growing! Thank you for inquiry. Currently this isn't possible but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exist so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. Also try creating meals via the website to log food you usually cook.

 

Let me know how it goes!

Darcy,

  We try to cook from scratch as often as possible and ended up with the same issue. The catalog of foods in the fitbit library simply can't accommodate everyone's cooking. I eventually ended up figuring out the nutrition facts of each of our more common recipes, figured out a serving size that was easy to measure, and did the math from there. Once that was done, I built the foods into the fitbit app as custom foods. It was a bit work intensive on the front end but made it much less frustrating the next time I made those foods. The only work at that point was measuring out the serving size! 

 

Hope that helps!
