Dashboard Vs. App Macronutrients

[CARErun]

Hi, I would like to start tracking macros by grams, but grams are only available on the browser dashboard.  I noticed that on the dashboard there are percentages for daily calorie consumption by protein, carb, and fat.  What recommended strategies do you have for best using these different percentages/data points? Any help is much appreciated!  I'm working those stubborn last 15 lbs that have been sticking around for years.  🙂

Hi there @CARErun. Good to see you in the Fitbit Community Forums! 🙂

I'd like to give you a hand with this.

Currently, as you mention, there is no way to see macro nutrients in terms of grams in the Fitbit app but only in the Fitbit.com dashboard. I was taking a look at the Feature Suggestions and it seems that there is already one but it seems that it's marked as "Not currently planned" (you can see it here), which means that it will not be implemented at least in the near future.

In the meantime though, I would then recommend using online resources that will help you convert percentages to grams to keep track of this (you can just google them) and the other option would be to see this information on the browser dashboard. If you don't have access to a computer at any given moment, you can use the browser on your phone and that should work well.

Hope this hleps and please, let me know if you need more help!

PS. I'm moving your post to the iOS App board for categorization purposes.

Thanks!  Any chance you happen to know what the difference in carb/fat/protein percentages are? Screenshots provided for app vs. dashboard. Seems negligible here but at times the difference is larger than 1%.
