Allow us to create custom meals on Fitbit app

[michelle.c]

Given that the community has been asking for this for 10 years, and now you will no longer have access to "create a meal" via the web version of the dashboard, it's making it harder for me to a fan and supporter of Fitbit, and I've been a fan for more than a decade. Please have the app have at least the same features as the web version (e.g., create a meal), but since it doesn't already exist, add the feature for # of servings to make our lives easier please!

I completely agree. I am NOT a fan of people removing features. I have abandoned fitbit for this reason...well that, and every unit I bought crapped out 6 months after the warranty was over. They offer you a discount to buy a new one, but they don't tell you there is a time limit to using the discount. I was good moving on from them.

any updates on being able to make a custom MEAL (not food that doesn't allow you to add foods to a meal) via the fitbit App?  I mean, why display 'custom' if you can't create a meal (ie recipe)

It is beyond belief that after so many years of community comments asking for the feature Google decided it is not worth developing. The Google AI search still makes reference to the web dashboard now long gone, so not so Intelligent after all. It must be terribly hard and expensive to provide the feature in the app and clearly Google can't afford it. Very disappointing to see that the huge chasm between users and developers is growing even wider.

Google has announced it will decommit support of the Fitbit app in February
2026. You must change to a Google account or lose your history. I have no
idea what the Google app will look like.

It's a good time to look for alternatives.

I changed using a Google account to log in a long time ago, but Google
doesn’t have a separate app. Don’t know if they are developing one.

I also have a question for the fitbit developers: why have a whole tab in the app food section for MY FOODS if you cannot add anything to it?

I have the old Zip and it now only works via the IPhone app. I can see the forum on the web using chrome but the only way to see the dashboard and input data is via the app. What will I do when Fitbit no longer has the app? How will I be able to use the Zip other than to look at it and see what it says?  I don't want any of the new ones that fit on the wrist.
