While not ideal, you can log on Fitbit.com food log and it will populate on iOS correctly once you sync. You can log it here. We appreciate your cooperation. I'll continue to update this thread as I hear more.

Yes, I have had the same problems all day since the update re. food inputs. Cannot add items after searching for them, some disappear after a short time, and others appear as other items.
I've entered my food intake via the website (log in, the click "Log") and both time it has updated the app on my phone. Would like to hear if this workaround is successful for anyone else.
New format for entering food VERY user unfriendly. Takes too long and is not consistent...3 maybe 4 times as long to access and enter foods. Don’t know that “macronutrients” are more important than just logging foods consumed with calorie intake... Sorry, but friend’s new Apple Watch looking more interesting... Long time Fitbit user...
I’m having the same issue today. I keep trying to track and it won’t save and update ... hopefully it fixes itself - a bit frustrating 😩

Hello @JCSask and welcome to the community. It's definitely not an issue of the Ionic but something related to server/apps. I just checked and I don't have any problem on Android. Do you use iOS?
Same exact problem. It’s super frustrating. I’ve tried everything. Hoping for a resolution soon!
Best AnswerI also have the same problem since the app updated today! Every food logged disappears as soon as it is entered!!
Best AnswerYep - mine is also deleting/changing or adding food as it likes! Tells me I’ve eaten more calories than I have! Need more bugs fixes??
