Product Feedback

Hello, Is it possible, to create an 'Central European food' database? I'm from Slovakia and living in CzechRepublic, and I miss many products in the German or UK food database. I can choose from that database only veggies and fruits 😕 I think, that Slovak and Czech people would be glad to have their own database.     Moderator edit: added labels ... View more

There are a couple of threads suggesting the metric version of grams for this and kilojoules for that. Let's propose that ALL measurements on all devices be factory set to the metric system. That way, the rest of the world will be happy they bought the device and Americans will need to learn metric (or at least learn how to change the settings into their imperial system). Who knows? They might actually be happier using metric. The arguments for metric were over more than a century ago. The Fitbit team not adding this feature - even as an option if not default - is surreal if not an act of American imperialism (pardon the pun). I do know that widespread implementation of metric in the US has been proposed and rejected due to the massive cost but changing the code to add this feature on a Fitbit device will open your market and welcome the rest of the world - and it won't cost you much. The goodwill in that is not to be misunderestimated (to quote Bush Jnr). Even the free UnderArmour app MapMyRun for iOS has a kilojoule option on it! The kilojoule thread in this forum has been going since 2014. Can we please fix this problem, already? Yes, we can. The only other thing we can suspect is that Fitbit has given up in the fitness monitor market and is just biding time while it finds a buyer for its business. When so many customers have commented so passionately, I can't imagine a switched-on and motivated company would not act immediately. But 4 years later, still without an explanation, I don't see how it could be anything else.   Moderator Edition: Updated title for clarity  ... View more

Please find a better way to customize foods, either with a web link that you can add from a recipe site and it automatically does or a picture or better ways to customize at home prepared foods for most of us who meal prep and then edit them. I can’t edit mine, more options for going out to restaurants too and name brands. Optio to see recent & frequent foods (starting from day 1), preferably grouped by date.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ... View more

I think it would be great if Fitbit could add in macronutrient goals instead of just a calorie goal. So having to hit a certain amount of grams of protein, fat and carbs as well as calories.   Moderator edit: Topic for clarification ... View more

I just saw a news report tonight about important nutrients we need for improving the effects of covid and the flu.  Vitamin c & d and zinc were all they mentioned.  Can zinc be added to the nutrition in the food part of the app?  The vitamins are already there so that is good.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ...

As someone who loves the calorie tracking and food information part of the app, I also hate to see those "blank" days after a vacation. (I could not bring myself to calorie count while spending a week in Europe). It would be nice to be able to mark those days as vacation days or similarly to be able to mark a day as a "cheat day" or a day where calories are not logged but the day is not considered a "0" in the stats.  ...

I love the macronutrient wheel as a graphical daily summary on the food/nutrition log. It would be nice to have a small macronutrient wheel next to each food entry as well. ... View more

When you scan a label have it so you can add it to your custom food list.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ... View more

When viewing a food item, "serving size" and "calories" are displayed. It would be helpful if the weight/quantity of the serving is also included. For example, White Rice- common is 180 calories per serving. How many ounces or grams is one serving? If I ate 6 ounces of white rice, how many calories was that?   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ... View more

Have food tracker option to bank weekly (Mon-Sun) calories so I can save for a larger intake day OR pay calories back after a day I overeat in order to end week still balance with Calorie Deficit. Show the current bank amount to show progress. ... View more

It would be exponentially more valuable to have the capability to tell the Fitbit app what my typical eating hours are, e.g 9am - 7pm. This way, the algorithm for calculating if I'm 'over, under, in the zone', would be way more accurate. It's frustrating to wake up to "under budget" and then see "over budget" at 7pm when I'm done eating for the day   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ... View more

Please add Caloric density to food tracking! ... View more

I would love to be able to just go through my pantry and refrigerator and or the grocery store and scan all of the the foods I eat regularly and have them go into my frequent foods. That way they are all there when I need them. Currently if I do this they go into my food log for the day. ... View more

Hi,   are you planning to do Finnish food database in some state?   Regards, Janne H     Moderator edit: Labels ... View more

I use the bar scanner whenever possible.  I noticed that the nutrition would be different from the scanned to the info on the package.  How can this be?  I also noticed when typing in a food it should somehow tell you what it is made from or includes.  For example, when I used a salad 123 calories.  Well what makes it 123 calories? Cheese, Dressing?  What is in that food that will do that?  I then used lettuce and then add individual items.  Where is the food tracker items coming from?  with many items being different than the package, maybe someone should update the database.    Moderator edit: Subject for clarity and labels. ...

It would be great if there was a new feature where Fitbit would give you a small food plan of what to try keep eating and what not to eat to help people who are on a diet and would like some help, not just with exercise, but with eating as well.  It would take some of your average exercise data, weight, age, etc. and create a personalised plan for a diet to help you become even healthier, ecspecially with food working out which foods we should be eating to maintain our shape or get into better shape. It could also factor in eating habits and health issues such as over-eating, lack of eating, anxiety over eating, etc. to design a diet more relatable to you with goals that are more in your range and more likely to be achieved.     Moderator edit: Labels ...

The FitBit is awesome!!  But please consider moving the "Foods - Most Logged/Recent" section to the top of the "Favorite" section. It is so great to just click on the Most Logged items; all the info is there and you do not have to choose a mealtime.  My Favorite List is so long I have to scroll all the way down to the "Most Logged/Recent" section.  Not the end of the world, but it sure would be more convenient for those repeat entries.  Thanks.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ...

I would like to have an option to show Gross Calories or Net Calories.  Currently FitBit only shows Gross Calories. Net Calories is far more valuable in helping people understand the impact of their exercise compared to sleeping or watching TV. When comparing daily calories burned to calories consumed, Gross Calories is valuable.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels  ... View more

Please correct the error of all software versions : The term "calories" is used incorrectly. In fact the right term is "kilocalories", wich is normally abbreviated in kcal (all in low case). By the way, the new and SI right unit for energy is not more kilocalories, but kilojoule, abbreviated kJ. Why not implement both of them? Moderator Edit: Updated label ... View more

For those of us trying to stay within nutritional guidelines for percent of calories consumed by carbs, fat, and protein, would love to see a running percentage under the total calories consumed so adjustments can be made throughout the day.  Thanks!   Moderator Edit: Updated label ... View more

I live in Japan, but I'm American. So, I naturally eat a bit of North American cuisine along side the local flare. I'd like to use the Japanese database and the North American database at the same time. Right now, I'm adding to US database, though I'm not sure if I should mention that and/or if it affects other's results.      Moderator edit: Labels added ... View more
