Created food by FoodName but no nutrition shows in the app? Help please. Docs not clear.

The documentation in this section https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/food-logging/#logging-and-deleting-collection-data is not clear on how to log the nutrition for a food using the foodName (second method). 

It says " you should also explicitly provide the calories and optionally brandName (or source name) and a full set of nutritional values for this log entry".     I have tried sending the following data.

{'foodName': 'pilchard sandwich', 'date': '2019-10-25', 'amount': 1, 'unitId': 168, 'mealTypeId': 3, 'favorite': false, 'fat': 21.57, 'carbohydrate': 53.25, 'fiber': 3.22, 'alcohol': 0.0, 'protein': 46.07, 'saturated_fat': 8.31, 'sugar': 12.54, 'calories': 589}

The food was created, and calories registered. But nutrition information was not recorded. The response from the API was successful (201) but as follows,

{"foodDay":{"date":"2019-10-25","summary":{"calories":4237,"carbs":103.11,"fat":39,"fiber":10.32,"protein":229.07,"sodium":1637.87,"water":1182.94}},"foodLog":{"isFavorite":false,"logDate":"2019-10-25","logId":196063097,"loggedFood":{"accessLevel":"PRIVATE","amount":1,"brand":"","calories":589,"foodId":0,"mealTypeId":3,"name":"pilchard sandwich","unit":{"id":168,"name":"item","plural":"items"},"units":[168]},"nutritionalValues":{"calories":589,"carbs":0,"fat":0,"fiber":0,"protein":46.07,"sodium":0}}}'

What format should the post data be for the nutrition info (other than calories) to be stored too ? 

Thank you,

Hi @gypsy_ranger 

I agree the documentation could be better in this area.  Would you please provide the endpoint syntax you used to log this food entry?

Thanks!
