Hello everyone,

 

I ordered my FitBit One at the weekend and immediately downloaded the FitBit Android App to start to get a feel for it before I actually received it.

 

My FitBit One came last night, I tested the sleep function overnight and after popping onto my FitBit.com based stats to check things out I played around with the Foods feature.

 

This lead me to ask this question; "What is the best 3rd party Android app which, is compatible with the FitBit One/FitBit App and, has the best UK Food Database to draw information from?"

 

The FitBit App doesn't have a UK food database and I'd like to get some reasonable stats on how my diet is and then I'll be looking into improving them.

 

Apologies if this question has been asked before or I am posting in the wrong section. I did do a surface search around a few of the different FitBit Forums but to no avail, and this seemed to be (at 6:48am) to be the best place to post this query.

I log all my food in My Fitness Pal.  It sends a food summary to FitBit and FitBit in turn sends my steps and calorie burn to My Fitness Pal.  I'm in the UK and it has a good range of UK food and has barcode scanning to scan packets of food and find them quickly.  If foods aren't there - like the bread I make every day - you can add recipes and foods to use yourself or, via the website, add foods that everybody can see.  It's rare I buy something that isn't there and many restaurant chains have their menu items on.

Thank you, Trisk13.

 

I downloaded and integrated MyFitnessPal with FitBit and found their selection of foods to be fantastic, exactly as you described.
