HI!  I regularly make my own food and while the ap will let me add all the ingredients, it does not seem to let me say how many portions I consumed.  For example, I made butternut squash soup today.  It had one whole squash, 4 c of veggie broth, one onion and two Tbsp of olive oil, along with sage and garlic.  I would like to put in all the ingredients and then say how many portions this made (4) and how many portions I consumed (1).  For this recipe, I can easily divide by 4, I guess, to figure this out, but not so easy for more complicated recipes that contain a lot more ingredients.  Other food trackers have this feature.  It is one of the reasons I stopped using Fitbit to track food.

In response to your request to log this as a suggestion, I checked and it has been requested on many occasions one dating back to 2014 which had circa 1000 votes. It would appear that although the app is designed to help people become healthier a key design feature is missing which is readily available on other apps, but there is no appetite to correct this by Fitbit. In absence of this what is the official suggested way to track homemade ingredients and recipes on app versions without the 'create' meal facility? Thanks

I found this web site. https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076. It allow you to enter you own recipes and portions and spits out a nutrition label that you can use to make your own custom foods.
