@Claire22  You can fix this fitbit.com dashboard -- haven't found a way to change this in the app.

 

On your fitbit.com dashboard, click on the gear icon in the upper right, then click on Settings.  On your Personal Info page, you can get to the Food Database.  Switch it to U.K., submit, then you should be all set.
