Decide if you want to delete recent/frequent food entries

[NevilleRoux]

1. You can add custom food entries which you can delete via the web interface - please allow deletion of these foods on the apps as well.

2. When you add foods to your recent/frequent list you cannot delete them anymore and so the list just grows and grows. Please let us delete these entries in the apps.

Please let us delete our food lists. After using Fitbit 10 years, I try often to use the food lists but the incredibly long and archaic foods don't match the new diet and my current selections are not high on the recent lists.

Hi @Ditzy. Thank you for your product feedback about being able to delete your food list from the Fitbit app with us! We've found a similar request and merged yours with it. You can find it here. Please vote on the existing thread to help us track interest. To learn more about how Fitbit decides what product feedback is developed, visit our FAQs.

Just weighing in again on this.  At one point the frequent items in my app cleared to almost nothing, but since then it has continued to grow again.  Also, the list makes no sense, sometimes a recent item shows up at the top and other times at the bottom.  It is impossible to find things, so I end up entering a new food and now I have a LOT of duplicates!!  I am glad it is under consideration and hoping it gets moved to development soon!!

For some reason Fitbit apparently does not have a capable programmer. Its been a mess for years.

Enable editing of "frequent" and "recent" food lists.  Currently some foods on my lists are neither frequent or recent.  Eg my recent list has a few but not all items from the last two days, and the rest is from ages ago.  I looked for something I ate 3 days ago and it not on "recent".

Enable better creation of custom foods.  Ie being able to add eg "gym day breakfast" from custom, where I have previously entered eg x grams of food 1 and y grams of food 2 etc.  So that if I select that item from custom foods the item appears on my daily food as as the individual constituent foods, so that I can edit the individual items on my daily food eg if I decide to add more protein powder on a particular day, but stick with the same grams of fruit.

This has been on various rephrasings throughout the suggestion board. We need a more streamlined, user friendly, non computer based option to adjust recent foods and how foods update. If I have foods from 2019 I am seeing in 2025, I think Fitbit needs to revamp....and has since 2015 when this was posted.

Totally agree!
