Macros in grams in the app

[LucieRuzickova]

Hey everyone!
I have got a Fitbit Charge 2 and I have already downloaded the app into my iphone. As long as I am tracking the macros, I would appreciate if the app shows me also how many grams of protein, fat and carbs I eat, not only the percentage as it does now. I know I can check it in the dashboard on the internet via my macbook, but I think it would be really useful to make it possible in the app as well. What do you think?

[ReverendNewman]

Yes. This is a no brainer. C'mom FitBit delvelopers. The percentages tell me nothing. I need to see Protein, carbs and fat in grams

[zipperclub]

YEs! I would like to see grams! This way i dont have to use other apps. Show us the grams fitbit!

PLease

[gloryatsea]

Please, please, PLEASE update the fitbit app so that it tracks macronutrients in grams and not simply percentages.

[LadyGoogles]

YES PLEASE! This is literally the only reason I use another app to track food.

[ksebella]

Yes please. Percentages are useless without grams. 

[Drumcheddar]

I love that you added macro nutrients but for me specifically it's more beneficial to see exactly how many grams of each nutrient I have eaten. Also if this could be done to track the grams of sugar intake per day that would be phenomenal. I've been trying to cut my sugar way back but it's difficult when almost everything has added sugar on top of natural sugars in fruits and veggies. Thanks for taking suggestions and for reading mine. Hope to see this feature added soon!

For counting macros, percentages are useless. Go grams!

[ReverendNewman]

So true. I don't know how they let this slip by.

Hello! I like that Fitbit attempted to include macros in nutrition tracking however these numbers are percentages and that's really not useful to me. Most people tracking macros use grams so I still end up having to count the grams myself since the app doesn't include that feature. I would really like to see macros in grams please! As I'm sure many others as well!

thanks! -Jessica

Yes, this would be great. It is very time consuming to have to add them up separately. 

[Passenger]

Definitely. Need this and I will be 100% in the Fitbit app rather then using other services for logging. Percentage is generally useless...unless you give me the total grams consumed. But no 😛

Please add macros by weight (grams) at a minimum to the app. Would be a huge help and hopefully low hanging fruit for you guys. Also showing net carbs and fiber or total carbs and fiber would be awesome. Keep it up! Thanks!

[Austin87]

Just started counting macros and even I think having the percentage only provides very little value. As I go through this journey, I need to count grams to ensure im meeting my goals. 

[Mwfaith94]

Should be a way to change macronutrients from percentage to grams 

[packguy1]

 I agree! I am adamant about tracking my macro's and with my new Fitbit Charge 2 iOS the app doesn't give me what I need. The data should be there, please simply give options to display it. Grams of fats, proteins, and carbs per meal/snack and for the whole day. 

[packguy1]

Yes please! amount of grams is just as important as %. I can figure it out but too much math. Maybe make it so just tap the macro's % and it alternates between grams and %? I'd like to see grams and % per meal though too.

[packguy1]

Accurate macro tracking is very important to many of us who use this more than calorie counting as a guide to get the right mixture of various foods. % listed is a good start, but grams of each is needed please.

[Chantruese]

YES!! This! Being able to see actual macros in grams (plus fiber!) would be HUGE, I could stop using secondary apps or the website to track!

[Pacsman97]

Do we know when this feature of seeing a full meals macronutrient value
will be available in the App/ client?

Another vote for this vital addition.

[Envirolady]

I would love love love the macro stuff in grams and add fiber to the list...thanks!

[wpbarbour83]

I would LOVE to have macros broken down into grams as well!

[Pedrogomlo]

This is pretty sinple, a lot of people want to see macros in grams not only in percentages since it's easier to plan and manage in grams. At the moment i have to use a separate app for this.

Also it could be amazing if below levels, kms, calories and activity minutes we could be able to see our macro grams consumed for each day

thank you

[321123]

Definitely need grams. No way to track minimums (e.g. Protein) otherwise. Would also be helpful to have a minimum protein / fiber, etc. target (calc based on healthy body weight?) along with graphs displaying daily / weekly achievement to make sure user is hitting minimums. Currently tough to track for an aspiring vegan. Thanks!

[hannaschmidt89]

I agree with this statement. I would really like to be able to see grams or set macro goals in the fitbit app. By not having this feature, it causes me to use other apps to track my food. 

[hannaschmidt89]

Please add grams to the macro view in the app. And a way to set macro goals. I really just want to use your app for all of my tracking, but without being able to see grams, I have to use other spurces.
