Update 7/18/2018: Thanks again everyone for your reports. Glad to hear the update has corrected food logging issues for many.

 

If you are still experiencing this issue, we would love to investigate further. The following would help our team review:  

      • Are you already updated to 2.53.1? 
      • What is the OS version that you are running on your iPhone?  
      • What food database are you using?(See Account>Advanced Settings>Food Database).
      • What language are you using the app in? 
      • What foods are you trying to log? 
      • What specific interaction are you doing that is not working? (Adding, editing, deleting, scanning).
      • What time/date did you see the issue? 

We appreciate the additional details. 


 

Fitbit Update 07/16/2018: Hey everyone -- We have just released an update to the Fitbit app for iOS, version 2.53.1 which we believe resolves the issues with food logging that have been reported in this thread. Please update to 2.53.1 and let me know of the results so I can quickly communicate that to our iOS team.

 

Again, thank you for your continued patience as we worked to get this resolved ASAP.


Update 7/15/2018: 

 

Thanks everyone for your patience on this. We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been affected by this issue and have been working hard to find a fix. We are preparing to roll out an update tomorrow, July 16th to solve the problem. In the meantime, customers can use the food logging feature in the web dashboard: https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log.


Update 7/14/2018: We do realize this is a critical issue and our team continues to work on the cause and a fix. We don't provide timelines, in case something occurs and it can't be met, but we hope to have a resolution soon. Thank you again for your patience, reports, and cooperation.


Update 7/13/2018: Hi Everyone - we definitely do hear your reports and frustration on missing and strange food logs. Our engineers are still investigating and I hope to have a resolution shortly. 

  

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. 


 

Update 7/12/2018: Hi Everyone - thanks again for your reports. We are actively reviewing this issue and I'll continue to update the thread as I hear further. As a workaround you may want to log your food through https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log. As mentioned in @sreid64's post, it will populate the iOS app correctly. Thanks again for your patience and reports. 


 Update 7/11/2018: Hi Everyone - I've merged a few posts together. We are currently investigating issues with food logging on iOS version 2.53. Please continue to monitor this thread for updates. If this is severely affecting your food logging, you may want to log through Fitbit.com. Thank you very much for your reports and patience as we review.

I have the same problem. It will allow me to enter a food I have entered before but not a new one even though it is on their list

Best Answer

Yes, it is broken as of the app update today. I’m on the latest iOS release, iPhone 7

Me too.  Any new food entered both changes then vanishes within seconds.

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. 

Best Answer

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.

Best Answer

Does this mean if I eat Pizza today and it’s deleted, the calories didn’t occur?

Best Answer

Agreeing with prior posts; I am having issues with logging foods as well since the update. Thank you for looking into this and fixing the issue. 

Best Answer

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...

Best Answer

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 😩

Best Answer

Anxiously awaiting a fix for the food logging issue

Best Answer

It is severely impacting food logging. Instead of Green Valley Italian Blend veggies, it lists chocolate buns. And so on. Totally screwed up.

Best Answer

Are you using iOS? I'm not having any problem on Android.

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?

Best Answer

Same exact problem. It’s super frustrating. I’ve tried everything. Hoping for a resolution soon!
