Last I knew there were 16 oz in 1 lb.  In the food entry for meatloaf, I entered 1 lb and it states 1082 calories, but entered 16 oz and it states 702 calories.  I was expecting these to be the same.  Which is correct? Or am I not understanding the tool correctly? As a note, 2.2 lbs gives nearly the same result as 1 kg of 2380 calories as expected.

Welcome to the forums @ToddStz! Please accept our apologies for this inaccuracy within our food database, I will make sure to pass this along for further verification and I'll keep you posted. Smiley Wink

 

In the meantime I recommend to link your Fitbit Profile to MyFitnessPal which has editable food logs, a user based food database, in adition to users all over the world and a huge database, including barcode scanner and recipe builder.

 

They are supported both through a computer as well as through most Smartphones. You can get more information on this page.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, good luck! Smiley Happy

Welcome to our Community @ToddStz! Interesting behavior. I'd like to know if the same happens when you try with aother browser. I need to investigate a bit more about this. In the meantime, you can create your food and enter your own amount of calories for that food. To do so, go to your Dashboard>Log>Food>Enter the name of your food>Go to the bottom and click on "Ad new food"> There you'll enter the name and the amount of calories for that food. Keep me posted if you find other items with the same issue. I'll let you know any news I may have on this. 

 

See you latter!
