Show Fiber count on macronutrients section

[robsri]

Under Food Dashboard, instead of just showing Macronutrients:

-Carbs,

- Fat

- Protein

perhaps add another color to the bar graphs to show the FIBER intake (% & grams)    

Thanks in advance,

Can I edit and add Sugar count to this post?    Thanks in advance

Fiber is an important thing to measure for ordinary living but also on a diet. Many people are diabetic and fiber helps control blood sugars as well as regularity. Great selling point as the population gets older.

I track macronutrients through the Fitbit app, and believe the ratios are more accurate if fiber grams are deducted from the overall carb count.  Seems to me the ratios are currently wrong ... it isn't just what you eat, but what can be metabolized.  I would like to.at least have the option to remove fiber from the carb count, then the app ratios will be correct. 

Having fiber grams displayed is useful, but the macronutrient pie chart will still not reflect the correct carb totals.

Currently the app tracks fat/protein/carbs. I wish we had an option to add fiber (or sugar) to that as well. My Fitness Pal lets you choose what you'd like to track so I don't see why Fitbit can't do the same.

Hi @Linda0125, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about being able to track your fiber count on the Fitbit app with us. Because a similar idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestion board, I’ve moved your post here. Please support this idea by adding your vote, this helps our developers to keep tracking its popularity and demand over time.

Hey fitbit. I would like to suggest the inclusion of fibre quantity displayed in grams alongside the macronutrient overview in the app. Fibre is extremely important for all kinds of bodily functions among which gut health which many women struggle with. Therefore, the display of fibre in grams might help many fitbit users.

I agree. Fiber is important to track. It should also be deducted from the total carb count and

the carb % of total

I read that fiber also helps with cholesterol.  Since I started tracking fiber intake and keeping it near RMD my cholesterol has gone down.

Please add Fiber to the Macronutrient tracking in the Fitbit app. I understand it's available through the online dashboard however that's not efficient nor is it very helpful when it's not accessible through the app.

Fiber and sugar would be an excellent addition to the summary of daily nutrients. Thank you for considering this request. 

[KFo4ever]

Being able to track fiber would be great! I was recently told by a nutritionist that I need 25g fiber and to limit saturated fat to 12g per day for cholesterol management. Since I wear my Fitbit all day everyday, I’d love to have have the feature within the same app. Thanks for considering the upgrade.

I have been using the food logging feature properly since January & it has successfully helped me lose 21 lb in less than 3 months. It would be handy to have the salt & fibre macronutrient added alongside the fat, protein & carbs totals each day. Research shows people, in general, don't eat enough fibre & too much salt, so to track this would be 👍

Hi @Kettlebelle72, we wanted to let you know that the ideas you recently posted already exist on the Product Feedback Board. You can see them here where you can add your vote to those existing product feedback:

• Show Fiber count on macronutrients section
• Adding the total sodium consumed for the day and set goals (mg & %)

Please try to make sure you only post one idea per product feedback, so we can keep the board organized, easily searchable and see which idea other members are voting for. Thanks for participating in Product Feedback.
