My major and first issue is that my fitbit isn't reading roughly 1/8th the distance I go on the treadmill. I do not hold on to the bars and just let my arms swing naturally, or have them raised when I jog. But I just noticed the other day that when my treadmill read that I had completed 8 miles, the fitbit had read less than 7 miles. I went ahead and edited my stride length to be increased by 1/8th. Will this fix the issue? A big factor in purchasing a fitbit for me was not having to manually record my treadmill distances and I have goals on distances for the month.
A second big problem I have is that I haven't found a way to create recipes. From my googling there doesn't seem to be an option for that yet. Is it something that's being worked on? It's beyond tedious to have to do the math on every single ingredient I used and is a major hindrance in my food tracking. Or does anyone know of another app that will actually sync with the fitbit app that does allow recipe input and shows macro breakdowns? I tried linking the fitbit app with MyFitnessPal and it never did work.
Is there any way to set more than one weight loss goal? It would be nice to be able to track smaller goals on top of my long term one.

@KuroSumi Welcome! It's nice to have you on board!
Let me help you with your distance calculation and recipe logging. Not sure if only increasing the stride length will correct the issue. For the distance you can calculate your stride length to improve the distance calculation. You can follow these instructions to do this.
You can actually log the different items from a recipe by following these instructions. You can also link your MFP account by check MFP guide here.
You can only have one weight loss goal at the time but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exist so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it.
Let me know how it goes.
