Allow us to set macronutrient goals and show us full macronutrient breakdowns in app

[ColossalWhale]

Macronutrient tracking/goal features seem logical and are sorely needed to make the FitBit app an "all-in-one" fitness/health app. These features exist in other food-tracking apps and it is the only major feature the FitBit app seems to be missing on this side of things. Many people on these forums express frustration about having to a separate app to get proper macronutrient tracking.

The suggestion is broken down into 2 components, which are all basic features that other diet apps provide:

1. Allow us to set what % and/or gram of each macronutrient we want to consume and make it a goal that we can achieve each day. For example, say I want to set my daily intake to be 150g protein, 100g carb, and 50g fat, or I can set it to say I want a 40/40/20 ratio. Then the app can tell me how I'm doing on each of those goals each day.

2. Right now the app only displays % of macronutrients consumed for calories of each type. However, a simple way to view grams of each would be better and compliment reaching calorie/macronutrient goals. Food labels display grams of each macronutrient, so it is only logical that we can track this in the app. It's easy to recognize that you need "25 more grams of protein" and then check a protein bar label and see that it will give you "15 of those 25 grams of protein."

Note to mods: This feature currently does NOT exist so please stop merging this suggestion into the other thread ( https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Track-Macros-in-App-daily-carbs-protein-fat-inta... a different request that has been released, because they are NOT the same or else people wouldn't keep making new threads asking for this feature.

Sleep tracking is great and all, but this feature request is the one that that would keep me subscribed to Fitbit Premium.  I want to be able to set target macros and be able to track where I'm at based on what I've eaten thus far each day.  Please consider giving this some priority as I value this over any other premium feature and would like to keep this rather than trade it for something like MyFitnessPal's subscription.

Macro settings for different types of diets should be allowed by now. With Keto and paleo etc becoming a norm, we should be able to not just see what macros we've eaten and set caloric restrictions, but to put the macro goals for each day. Get with it Fitbit...

I agree. They need to also add a sugar intake column to the food log for nutrition tracking. I do feel that nutrition goals need to have the option to be manually set, especially for people with specific dietry restrictions.

I,like many other fitbit users would love to have the option to set custom macro goals. I am able to do this in myfitness pal and set individual percentages for fat, protein, and carbs. Is this something that might be coming in the future? It looks like this issue has been brought up for many years now.

With MyFitnessPro (MFP) now charging for more features that used to be free, I would like Fitbit to finally use the only feature still keeping me on MFP, Macros Percentage Goals. This is very helpful as I'm a type 2 diabetic and knowing how I'm doing every day with my daily goals for Carbs, Fat & Protein helps with my health.

Would be very helpful to be able to set specific Macros to track Protein, Carbs and Fat

[LizzyFitbit]

Hi @Kristabelle74, thanks for taking the time to share this product feedback about being able to set specific macro to track protein, carbs and fat with us. Two similar ideas already exist on this board and you can see them here:

• Allow us to set macronutrient goals and show us full macronutrient breakdowns in app
• Edit/Adjust Macronutrients

I completely agree that the ability should exist to set macronutrient goals and show us full macronutrient breakdowns in app. It just makes more sense to work towards a target.
