Can someone at FitBit please tell me just how many infants and toddlers are hooked up to FitBits? Seriously, why on earth do you list SO MANY caloric counts for baby and toddler food items from Gerber, Heinz and Beechnut, for example? I strongly doubt there are many, if any, youngsters in those age groups who are concerned about how many calories are in their strained pears or carrots. Oh, but maybe they are very precocious and can read already. Get real, FitBit - remove those items and make room on your listings for food that the majority of FitBit users actually eat. And then, be a lot more accurate with amounts and measurements, etc. As far as I know, the U.S. is NOT a metric country yet so many of the measurements are in metric. Why? Another thing I have found in the calorie section of your Log is the assumption on your part that many of the adult FitBit users - not the infants and toddlers - eat out in restaurants A LOT, judging by the calorie count of so many restaurants food you list. Um...perhaps a certain segment of your clients do eat out most of the time, for whatever reason, but I would think more users eat food they have prepared themselves in their own homes. I really think the FitBit organization needs to do a major overhaul on the calorie-count section of the Log.

You can add your own food to the database. Also, I assume that not every Fitbit user is American, so those measurements may be coming from non-American users. I haven't had any trouble finding American measurements, though. For recipes, I calculate nutritional information using myfitnesspal.com and then add it to fitbit's database.
(I don't connect my fitbit and myfitnesspal.com account because I find it to be wonky and not very user friendly).
