Why is there no way to save favorite foods in the app?

Hi @IndyAmy. It's nice to see a new face around.

 

Thanks for your question and let me share that currently the Fitbit app will show your custom and recent food logs. However to see and save favorite foods, you'll need to go your fitbit.com dashboard, log in to your Fitbit account, click on Log > Food.

I'll be around if you have another question.

But it still makes you enter the whole thing (all the info) instead of just scanning and food and adding it to your favorites? No one is going to do this!

If you go to your dashboard at Fitbit.com, go to where you log your food. Under logged foods there is a star to the right under FAV. Click the star and it adds t to your favorites.

I'm using premium and having to continually look up foods instead of being able to save them to my foods in the ap This is becoming a deal breaker for me. I can use my fitness pal and import steps for a quicker result. What are your plans to add this functionality? I cannot afford to pay for 2 premium apps.

I can save foods easily on my desktop dashboard but don't have that access on my phone so can't save favorites.  Am I correct?

has this been addressed yet?  I have the same issue:  I eat the same foods every day.  The dashboard allows me to enter a 'meal', and combine those foods, but, I don't go to my dashboard everyday.  I go to my APP everyday to enter foods, and the favorite meals I created on the dashboard, is not available on the app.  What's up with that? THank you.  SIncerely, Tom

Hi there! I was also super frustrated about this so I decided to do some digging on my own ...

 

If you go onto the dashboard, you can 'favorite' a food that has been previously logged by pressing the star on the right of the food. That food will now show up in your favorites on your app as well (you might just have to reboot it) 

 

Although it's annoying you can't actually 'favorite' a food from your app, at least you can see them in your app once you do!

@tomlevine1  could you give the meal a name and make an entry in custom foods?  I enter dishes by name, branded as homemade and a colorie total. Just a thought.
