Add a list of ingredients and measurements to Premium recipes

[Tascot5]

I love the recipes from EatingWell on Premium. How can I get the actual recipe with ingredients and ingredient measurements?

@Tascot5 Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

Glad to hear you're enjoying Premium recipes. Currently, the Premium recipes won't display the ingredients and measurements, you'll only watch the instructions and measurements on the videos itself. However, we love to hear your feedback on our Features Suggestion board, those ideas are reviewed by our team and the status will change depending on Fitbit plans. 

Hope to see your idea on the board.

What?  Your providing a recipe, but not the amount for each ingredient?  This when your company preaches portion control?  This makes no sense.  I am paying for premium. I watched a video that told what each ingredient was, but not the amounts.  Come on Fitbit. Do better.  That's not ok.

@zachcaro Hi there. 

Your feedback and comments are appreciated, we're always striving to improve our services offered. Be sure that features are implemented and improved based on user's feedback. 

Thanks for being a Premium user. See you around.

Agree!! Makes no sense. What a disappointment!!

How can these even be called “recipes”!

@SilviaFitbit 
I'm studing stats at school (I'm 14 years old) and I decided to do something funny to work with some existing dataset to do some stats and chose the Fitbit suggestion board (as I love Fitbit).

I took the first 100 most voted suggestions and here my findings:

43 % are released

42% are no planned

the rest is still under consideration or other

In addition the average time for implementation is 3 YEARS!

I not agree much "that features are implemented and improved based on user's feedback. "

@Abbogdan Welcome to the Fitbit Community. 

I see where your disappointment is coming from. Your feedback is appreciated as when features are implemented or improved, the Fitbit Community plays a big role on that. 

@SunsetRunner Hi there. Thank you for the research done prior to posting. 

I appreciate that you shared how you feel about this. I'd recommend to check the following post to find out more about how ideas are released, How does Feature Suggestions work? 

See you around.

But it isn't a recipe without the ingredients, it's just a video of someone making something. Very disappointed and feel cheated if I'm honest. 

[Toddy66]

I agree, they aren't recipes just video of someone cooking

[SunsetRunner]

Hi,

I don't mean to sound snippy but I agree with everyone else here. I'm logging my food, in the log it keeps pumping me recipe ideas. I think ooh that looks nice and watch the video and a) they're so fast if you tried to guess the volumes you'd never do it and b) it ISN'T a recipe without measurements - it is just a video of someone chucking something in a bowl at speed. In 2021 I have spent £600 on Fitbit watches plus a year of premium at £75. Do better fitbit. I don't even understand the point of having spent the time to film the videos without showing us the ingredients measurements. How are we supposed to follow the recipe?? 🤦🏼‍:female_sign: This is an absolute epic fail and should be taken off the premium listing because they are not recipes and there is zero benefit to anyone by having them there. Pointless.

Having just bought a Fitbit, which I am very happy with, I got six month free Premium. So far I agree with all the comments that the recipes are just videos of different ingredients chucked into vessels with no actual guidance as to measuring the ingredients. Also really disappointed there is NO vegan filter. 

[Deafinitive]

I found if you search the recipes on Google they are listed on the Eating Well website, for example, https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/251162/tex-mex-black-bean-quinoa-bowl/

I recommend that Fitbit add these links to the recipes.

That would help!

[abi.neve]

This is insane…only use recipes that use cups as measurements and demonstrate the teaspoons etc then. Absolutely absurd 🙈

[CollinM]

Wait... If the recipes under Premium are available on the Eating Well website for free with video, why is this a paid part of Premium?

[unalung]

Thank you VERY much! At least now I can find the recipes I selected as favorites.

It is beyond ridiculous to pay for a service and just be shown quick little videos of the recipes being made. They could at least do like Deafinitve suggested and put a link at the very least with these recipes-- that shouldn't be too difficult.

[JKApayne]

Totally agree, we are paying extra to not get a recipe in return. A bit of a joke really!!

[SunsetRunner]

I totally agree. The new food videos are useless. Without a recipe to go by, what’s the use and it's a waste when you have premium.

Thank you for your understanding.

I agree with what everyone has said on here.  I was wondering the same thing myself. What is the point of only having recipe videos when you can't see the measurements of the recipe?  That's crazy for having premium.  Does Fitbit not think these thing through?  How hard would it be to add this?  Seriously.
