How to interpret Macronutrients in the app?

Is there an easy to understand guide on how to interpret your macronutrient dashboard?

Hello @Craigmustoe. thanks for joining the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. 

I appreciate you have brought this to my attention. Please note that if you log food in the Fitbit app, you'll see an estimate of your daily macronutrients breakdown (total carbohydrates, fat, and protein consumed) in addition to your caloric intake. Tracking your macronutrients can help you get a better view of your overall nutrition.
 

The numbers aren’t set in stone, but you do need to consume a certain amount of each macro within a range. The flexibility allows you to pick a style of eating that suits your needs, food preferences, and health goals. The USDA recommends the following healthy ranges.

Carbohydrate:          45 to 65 percent

Protein:                     10 to 35 percent

Fat:                           20 to 35 percent

The food logging feature in the Fitbit app can estimate your macronutrients when you log items from the food database! At the end of each day, you can view an estimate of daily totals as percentages, as well as in grams (you can check macronutrients in grams through the Food section on the online Dashboard). Which makes aiming for a particular ratio of carbs to protein to fat to build a balanced diet a lot easier.

I hope this resolves your inquiry, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

The macros are easy to see but that is not the whole picture. Many, many people are following the ketogenic diet these days and fiber grams are a huge part of that calculation as fiber grams are subtracted from carb grams for a "net-carb" value. This is then used in the macronutrient calculation. I can see the fiber on the webpage but nowhere on the app. Is Fitbit adding this as I would think they would want to appeal to folks on the keto diet since it is so popular?
