Difficulty adding ingredients to a saved meal

[Kathmat]

Hi all,

A little help please. I don't eat fast food, (well maybe the obligatory once a week Chick Fil a grilled chicken sandwich... ) I primarily cook everything from scratch. I am trying to create a meal incorporating my own from scratch cauliflower pasta sauce. I have worked out the calories for the overall finished sauce, but I can't list every item in that sauce into the meal field? That would require some serious and I feel unnecessary math, and a long list of ingredients to search through. Is there no way that I can just enter the sauce manually without having to add ingredients from the list offered by fitbit? Thank you. I have other meals that I have added that were scratch meals, and just under the "brand" Home Made which I created.

I use a recipe calculator nutrition app. “very well fit” Just enter ingredients and amount and number of servings.

The other option is under meals to enter ingredient and amount. You may have to google ingredient if not on the list and find out nutritional information and enter all ingredients into food log first. Then go to meals and add.

that being said I am having difficulty editing a meal.

Hope this helps.

I'm also having problems adding SOME foods to a meal I've created.

I've narrowed the problem down to faulty data in the "food" in the fitbit database. 

If the "food" has a valid quantity, clicking on the "food" results in a drop down list of quantities to choose from.

But If the "food" does not have a valid quantity, clicking on the "food" has no effect, no list to choose from and the food cannot be added to the meal.

I've replicated this problem by creating my own foods - the same thing exactly occurs as described above. I workaround this issue for the moment by creating my own foods for each food from the fitbit database that misbehaves.

I see this as a "bug" in the validation portion of the fitbit data. It should not allow a meal to be added with an "empty" quantity.
