Hi, Is it possible to provide an option to create a dish by selecting the food items from the database? It should be like Create a custom dish and then I get to choose the foods from food databse and also should be able to set the amount of each food item selected so that the whole dish creates one serving. This feature is useful for people who have dishes that are not in food database and they can store this in their personal databse. The nutritional data can be retrieved from the food database based on the amount each food item is selected for the dish and total nutritional value can then be automatically created for the custom dish.
Hope you understood. 🙂

Hi, @Jkangam! Unfortunately, Fitbit doesn't have this capability, but myfitnesspal does. You can either do it as one serving or for an entire meal and then tell the app how many servings are in the full recipe. mfp syncs in with Fitbit, so you could put in your food over there and it would be transferred over. They also have a much larger food database.
