Trying to track micronutrients in app

[BobbyCT]

I have been using the food tracking feature of my Fitbit to track calories and macronutrients over the past 7 months with great success. However, does it also allow me to track and see a summary breakdown of more specific items such as the amount of vitamins, minerals and other such details? My doctor wants me to track my Calcium, Fiber and some other items. I love the ability to see summary details of all the food I eat, whether by day, week, month, etc. If Fitbit does not offer this, is there any 3rd party apps that are available and can be integrated? Thank you

I have used the food tracking too, but I didn't calculate calories. I just wrote down everything I ate. It helped me lose my weight.

I use the Fat Secret App.

I agree .....Fitbit now with their paid subscription should do what My Fitness Pal does with their macronutrients.   I need to track sugar,  fiber and calcium.  Hopefully it will be an upgrade soon to their new subscription.  I just cancelled My Fitness Pal thinking I got the same info with Fitbit....keeping good vibes....in hopes that they will

I agree ..I said the same.....i need to track sugar,  fiber and calcium.....hopefully Fitbit will read our concerns and add it

I understand all this, but how to view daily totals after you've recorded the items?

Totally! I would love to just use the fitbit app but I need to track my fiber which fitbit does not show in app.

Yes, there is.

From your online dashboard, click on the setting icon.

Then click "Data Export"
Then you can put in a custom timeframe and uncheck Body, Activities and Sleep, leaving only "Food"   Then hit download and it will give you a report with all your micronutrient data for the time frame you input.

I agree, Chronometer is the answer and worth too paying if you are looking to get serious!

I use Samsung health app, it includes vitamins and minerals not just carb protein and fat

When I tried that, I still just received the macros, plus sodium and water.

Hi, the only recent (2021) similar posts about problems tracking micronutrients seem to be in the Android apps section so I’m posting here. I use the latest iOS on my iPad). Recently was happy to see that you can now automatically track an array of vitamins and minerals in your logged diet. However, the %’s are waaaay off on some. Vitamin A seems to be the worst - it said I’d consumed something like a million percent of the RDA in a day on an 1100-1200 cal diet. It’s consistently registering at least tens of thousands of %. Vitamin C and iron are sometimes really high too. When I go into the nutrients for the individual foods, they are all in a reasonable range, so somehow when they’re being aggregated, they’re being multiplied rather than added. Please advise.

The best third party diet app, hands down, is MyNetDiary, especially the premium version

MyNetDiary beats MyFitnessPal hands down and integrates well with Fitbit.
