Food options need to be increased

As someone who eats a lot of different ethnic foods, I have been really struggling using the Fitbit calorie count on the app. Couldn’t you guys allow for people to input and save recipes that the app could count calories  and macros for using your existing database? Also, as someone with a family history of high BP and other medical issues, I think that the option to count sodium intake, or fat types or vitamins would be awesome. Because right now I’m essentially using multiple apps to do these things and if Fitbit had it all that would really give the app an edge over competitors.

I would love to be able to input and share a recipe for something I make that isn't in the database. 

 

I would also love to see the Sodium totals in the app since I am struggling with high BP and Diastolic Congestive Heart Failure. Otherewise I have to enter the information into my app and then check the website for the Sodium totals. Why not make the little Nutrition circle in the app tapable so it shows all nutrients?

 

Thanks

Stepping Up

The recent foods list to too short.  Make the list longer or allow the ability to copy a food from a past day to the current day.

I would like to see the recent's list grow larger - perhaps its length could be determine through a configuration parameter, so people who like short lists can keep them that way.  The list should be sorted so it's easy to find things in it.
