Food log not working

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Numerous issues with food logging:

 

1) I can add custom foods but when I try to select a searched-for item or pre-existing item, the app crashes.

 

2) The added items' calorie counts are not totalling or showing up in the daily graphs or on the dashboard 

 

These issues started occurring a few days ago only. Before last app update for android. Updated app and have restarted phone, issues still remain.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @DBammmMan Very Happy Hmmm... this is very strange, thanks for posting this. As per the description of your issue, I'd like you to try the following:

 

  • Double check if your Fitbit app is up-to-date (Version 2.47)
  • Log out of your Fitbit app
  • Force quit the app
  • Turn off the Bluetooth
  • Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes
  • Turn on the Bluetooth
  • Log back into your Fitbit app

 

After doing those steps, try adding your custom food and see if your calorie count is showing up now. 

 

I'll be around, so keep me posted!

My food logging has gone crazy! Choose my own food but when I go to the total for the morning it’s given me totally random food not from my list or even the menu. Update happened a few hours ago. What have you done FitBit?

My Fitbit, I log the food and it just disappears. And my app is up to date and I tried everything mentioned above

As fitbit say in the main thread, some people are able to log food via fitbit.com  but other than that there's nothing we can do but wait for a fix from fitbit

Same thing.

This started with me late last night btw. 11 and midnight.

Today its not collecting everything that I log, and some things that are being scanned with the code are incorrect; for example my Wegman's Black Cherry GReek yogurt was scanned and came up as "wavy potato chips."

Please help us fitbit Gods thanks
