What is the problem with you people?  I have read forum thread after forum thread asking why your app does not track macros in grams for those of us who need this feature without having to log into the desk top after every meal to see where our protein number is for the day so we can plan the rest of our meals accordingly.  

Over and over, I see people asking for the feature and all I see is a bunch of garbage replies telling the person to make a suggestion.

What a freaking disappointment to have this device and app do EVERYTHING else you need it to do and it can't tell me how many grams of a macro I have had in a meal, whereas MyNet Diary ap does, so I have to track my food in that app and just transfer the total quick calories into the Fit Bit app at the end of the day.

What a joke.

Sorry @vmax I'm not following you, your title says you want to track by grams, and your post untold that you are able to do this through the desktop. 

I see a suggested request from April of this year, and a possible duplicate from December. 

The April post is a recent merge of three posts, which causes the suggest on to have the votes split, this has the affect of making the suggestion look as not as popular. 

 

I'm only responding since you are addressing your post to you guy's, while knowing full well this is a community of Fitbit users helping out their fellow Fitbit users. 

I'm letting you know that users themselves have been have been sabotaging their request for this feature

The app does not track macros in grams.  

The desktop does, but I can't just log into my desktop everytime I need to see how many grams of protein I have in at noon so I can plan my eating for the rest of the day.

 

The app only displays macros as a percentage of your overall calories which is useless for someone who needs to know grams of each macro as your day progresses for meal planning.

 

Why have an app like that without that key feature?  Its like making a nice automobile and forgetting to put headlights on it.  

 

Fitbit has been told that people want this feature for a year and have not added it.
