Adding Custom Foods to Community

[FoxyFabulous]

Hi all, I'm new to Fitbit. 

Just had a quick question since I've been adding so many new foods ~ are these stored just for me, or are they added to the community database every time I add one? I've noticed not much of what I eat/drink is already in the database, so it would be nice to know I'm pitching in with my new entries.

Anyway good luck, keep improving! 🙂

Hi @FoxyFabulous

The foods are for you, it's not possible to add your own foods to the community database.

Feel free to add your suggestions to the 'Feature Requests' Sub Forum, where users can vote, add comments,.. if there's a certain interest then there's a chance the developers pick it up and it'll be developed.

Tip: Search if the idea already has been suggested and add your vote / comment!

Hi @FoxyFabulous welcome to the Community!

Our awesome friend @SunsetRunner posted a great link to the feature request board, which is really useful when you want to see a certain feature added into any of our Fitbit products. 

One thing to note is that there is the option of scanning a barcode to add food into the database. You can also add custom foods for your own personal use.

I hope this helps (:
