We've aware of an issue when entering a custom food, total calories are dictated by whatever the number is for "Calories from fat". If you have 0 calories from fat, you will see 0 Calories.
We’re currently working to resolve it and hope to have a fix soon. Be sure to keep your Fitbit device and app up-to-date to ensure you receive the quickest resolution. We're sorry for any trouble. We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting you back on track.

I Know a few people are having this issue. So I think it needs to be addressed by Fitbit! I cannot create a custom food all of a sudden. It will not save the calories. It just started this week 4/1/20). This is extremely annoying. PLEASE FIX!!!!!
I tried creating a custom food and it’s not saving the calories I entered. Just shows the “custom food” I saved has 0 calories. I checked to see if app or my phone needs updates. None. Exited app and logged back to try again. Nothing. Turned off phone and turned back on. Still nothing.
And what phone would this be on @Lyssalimon you posted in the Blaze support, not the app support.

Best AnswerI’m having the same problem, it’s really annoying!
Best AnswerWhen I went in on Thursday, 4/2 to record steps and food, there was a hang on, we are cleaning things up for you message. I waited, got in, it synced and refreshed, steps were there and I went in to custom record some food. Typed in the food, the serving amount, the calories and hit save. It saved everything except the calories. Tried 4 more times.exact same thing, will save everything but calories keep coming up at zero. AND there is no edit/delete function on the app, to get rid of incorrect things that have been saved. I have the app, so that while traveling or out somewhere, I can keep track of things, without relying on a desk top PC! Any advice? Where do I go to let fitbit peeps know there is an error?? Thanks in advance! Danni
Best AnswerI have an iPhone 8 Plus. Can’t enter custom foods. Always comes up as 0 calories. Just started with the last update.
On iOS IPhone 6
I entered a new custom food along with calorie values but calorie values won’t save. It keeps showing as zero. This has happened twice in the past two days. I checked for updates, switched off Bluetooth, logged out of Fitbit app and switched off phone. None of these worked. Help please.
I’ve got an iPhone 7 and cannot log custom foods. It just started after last week software upgrade.
Best AnswerI even phoned customer service. They had no answers. I’m using an iPhone 7. Started after last software upgrade. Very very frustrating!
Best AnswerI am using an iPhone SE. I noticed recently that any Custom Food I am trying to add will not update all the nutritional details, particularly the calories. I have checked and my phone is updated with the current IOS.
