Food information not accurate

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have recently started tracking my food as well as activity with the Fitbit app. I noticed that when I scan a barcode or enter the name of a food in the search box, often times what shows up doesn’t match the nutrition facts on the package. The serving size, calories, protein, all of it can be wrong. Is there a way I can fix this without manually entering every food? Maybe an update or step I haven’t taken? Thanks!

A warm welcome to the Community @JGersi.

 

Regarding your inquiry, no, there isn't an option to edit the food you logged using the barcode scanner. I recommend taking a look at the Barcode scanner - ability to add food to your custom lists request, vote for it and leave your comment.

I was wondering the same thing about accuracy when I log food, but not with the barcode. When I search a food that is already in the database, many times the calories in the database is not what is on the nutrition label of what I am eating. Sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less. Is there a way to edit those?

Actual pic of pkg. not showing actual calories is 350
I would say that over 50 percent of scans are like this. Very frustrating
