counting carbohydrates

[maryjoburton]

Is Fitbit doing anything for folks who also need to count carbohydrates in addition to calories?

Doesn't it list carbs in the macro breakdown? I don't log my food via fitbit because the built in food logging doesn't have the features I need. I use one of the nutrition tracking apps that link to fitbit (I've used three of them at different times). Loseit, MyFitnessPal and Spark People all can link to your fitbit account and all track not just calories but carbs, sugars, fiber, protein, fat, etc. They vary in the detail and some of the user entries have incomplete or inaccurate data but their database entries are usually complete. Most of them allow you to set a custom goal for whichever macronutrient you want.

if you mean carb count on your dashboard, then no, i don't believe fitbit does that.

but, as the above poster mentioned, it does lit carbs when you enter your food intake.  as a low carber, i've found that works well enough for me.
