food lists

[catwoman]

I've been using the food lists for half a year.  All of a sudden today, things I've used all along off of the community list have disappeared, or have grossly incorrect amounts, like 21 servings of babybel light cheese for 50 calories.  What happened to the lists?

Thanks for reporting this!  We'll take a look.

Can you share some examples of items that you used to be able to find in search and now cannot?

Fitbit, what have you done!? I'm one of your first users, and have become extremely frustrated with whatever you've done in the logic for searching for foods.For example, when looking up 'prosciutto' today, the first thing that comes up is chicken breast and then turkey breeast. WTF!? The normal prosciutto use to show up. This is consisent with almost any lookup, which is making your food tracking useless.

Almonds, Fisher  - 1 oz  170 calories

Mixed Nuts, Plantar - 1 oz 170 calories.

Dark Chocolate Ginger 1 oz 140 calories

Babybel, Mini Lauging Cow Light - .75 oz at 50 calories

Now

nuts are showing 30 servings 170 calories - It lookd like someone changed the serving size on nuts to be each individual nut.

The Dark Chocolate covered ginger is different, and 350 or so calories in a serving. - An ounce has like 11 pieces.

Dark Chocolate ACAI berries by Brookside are gone.

Babybel is mozzarella, and 21 servings for 50 calories

I can add them to my personal list and forget about the community list.  It is frustrating because the foods were there two days ago - I used them!

I'm having this problem too. A bunch of foods that I've been logging for ages have suddenly changed units to 'servings'.

Thanks for sharing these examples.  We've got a fix for this in the works, coming soon.

I find this website one of the most unbiased and best food information resources on the net

Is there a way to update the food list database, it seems pretty limited. Hopefully, I am missing something.

I am using a product from a co. called Ideal Protein,and when I try to put it in as new products it fights me. I was going to put in all of the improtant info. to.

Not sure this belongs on this post but I'm new to Fitbit and was going to Fitbit.com to search and log foods until I saw I could do it from the Fitbit icon on my laptop. Only problem is that going to fitbit.com to log foods is so much easier and has so much more when doing a search or picking a food already logged. Why can't the two places to log info look alike? I like the website so much better... Try it both ways and see which is easier for you. I'm betting the .com site is better/easier. The website doesn't allow you to resync the Fitbit like the icon does... Fitbit should make both identical so I don't have to go to both all the time...

I see this problem had a fix back in 2014, whatever that was you need to do it again because the food units have gone crazy again! Grams turned into servings or cups or whatever the default measurement is so no matter what unit you select they all switch to the default one. Please fix it again and keep it fixed
