I have been using a different tracking app, but since I now have both the Charge HR and the Aria scale, I'd like to try to keep all of my food and activity tracking in one place, on the Fitbit website/app. I see I can add individual ingredients and log them for meals, but how/where can I add a recipe for something I cook at home and save it for future tracking?

How do you like the Aria scale? My husband wants to get us one, but we have heard mixed reviews. Would love to hear how you like it so far.

The way I do it if you have the Nutritional Info is set up a record by create a Food. Name it with your recipe name and then add the NI to that record.
Hope that helps

I don't see a way to do that with multiple ingredients. I see add meals, but that didn't seem to give you the ability to do that?
I'd like to add chili that has about 5 ingred. and you certainly don't eat the whole thing at one time. Where is the option to add a recipe?

@sandycrochet You don't add multiple ingredient's. You set up one record with just the NI of the entire recipe.

This feature doesn't appear to be available at FitBit yet (they had it on my last tracker). I used MyFitnessPal to enter my entire recipe and once you specify the yield, it will give you the per serving breakdown. Then I enter that into my FitBit as a custom food.

I entered the recipe into My Fitness Pal and I see it giving the nutrional breakdown for per serving, but don't see the ingredients broken down per serving? Any suggestions?

in meals -> create meal -> name new meal save -> add ingrediants and qty (serving qty) ->
finish meal all done
The only dificulty i found that when i add say 190 grams it shows as 190 cup but the nutrition values are right for serving size

If you have the nutritional information per serving, simply enter it as a new food, rather than as a new meal. You put in the serving size (I always use grams) and the NI for that serving. By entering the serving size in grams, you can easily weigh and adjust a serving based on how big you cut it or dipped it or whatever.
I use the recipe analyzer at Calorie Count, but it sounds like MFP has the same thing.

Hi...I am interested in this, but cannot see if anyone replied to your post. Can you please let me know if there is a way to add recipes to the food log for foods I make at home? Thanks!
