Where Did Weight Loss Goals & Food Plan Go?

[oblongpenguin]

So aside from the fact that I loathe the new app with the strength of a thousand suns because as someone who suffers brain fog and comprehension processing issues, I can't understand or read any of the data anymore so well done for making it accessibility friendly, fitbit. /sarcasm.

I cannot figure out how to access my food goals and weight goals. This used to be really easy to find and change as I needed it, and would look a bit like this: 

I can't seem to find this anymore? Where has it gone? I'm on IOS, new iPhone, and have Versa 2 if that's any help?

Hello @oblongpenguin and welcome to the Community.  Look in the upper right of your app.  You will see either a gear icon or your profile picture.  Tap on that > Activity & Wellness > Nutrition & Weight.  Tap on Food to get to the pages to create your food plan.  Tap on Food > Help me set a goal.  You will see the page you are expecting after you enter your goal weight.

Unfortunately, Fitbit removed a very important part of using a Food Plan in the new app.  Fitbit removed your calories remaining for the day from the Food card.  Please vote for and leave a comment on this request in the Product Feedback forum.

Thankyou for that! Although I did just assume I needed to amend the food plan to get the calories remaining back, if they've now removed that feature (which is ridiculous) I guess I won't bother amending, but thanks for letting me know or I'd have been racking my brains to figure out where it had gone.

@oblongpenguin   Fitbit needs to explain that food icon.  I don't know what the three segments mean, but I can tell that the black dot somehow reflects the calories I logged.  To be fair, I don't always log everything I eat.  It might replace the calories remaining, but I haven't figured out how.

Oh, I hadn't actually seen the black dot. It's not helpful that it doesn't tell you the amount left though, that little black dot is hardly specific.

I've also discovered I can no longer log any food, apparently food doesn't exist other than the food already in my frequent and custom section. I can't scan any barcodes and I can't write it in and look it up either. This new app is beyond dire, it's unusable. I'll definitely be looking for an alternative to fitbit now.
