How to correctly log food?

[Monstrum]

I'm having some trouble here, should i type on every product if its cooked or not? for example rice? Should i do it like 200 grams white rice - cooked, thanks in advance

In this case, it is best to measure and log the food after cooking it. If you weigh in a dry cup of rice, it will be a huge amount to eat after being cooked, same way with meats (since they lose water when they cook), pastas (they expand) or sauces (just your portion). 

As a personal recommendation, make sure you write down your meals as soon as you are about to get them; this will prevent the moment where you are holding your food log and remembering how much you ate and underestimating amounts.

I have a tiny notebook where I write down the meals and their weight, so when I'm ready to write them down, they are accurate. 

Get a food scale and measure everything. Increase your water intake and find different sources or variations for the meals you love that won't take a hit on your caloric budget.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

Another thing that I can't seem to figure out; I log everything as Grams, why does it show like this in cups and other stuff when I've selected grams:

Fitbit is aware of this problem and working on a resolution. Note that the unit of measure and nutrition information is correct in the database, it's simply displaying the wrong unit of measure on the log.

Hope this helps!
