Hello @Claire22, I hope you're having a great day, it's nice to see you around. 

When you're creating a Custom Food on the Fitbit app, only on calories and calories from fat it's not possible to add a decimal point. However, you can tap on the Switch to Detailed View option to input more nutritional facts about your food.

In here you will be able to add a decimal point for quantities.

Additionally, you can also search for the food you're logging in, the food database has many entries for Special K bar, simply select the one that adjusts better to yours and log it.

I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you, please keep me posted.

just noticed entering amounts into a custom food like e.g. sugar , i put in 5.7 and it changes to 6g , is that what always happens it rounds up or down the figure?

Hello @Claire22, thanks for taking the time to reply, I hope you're having a great day. 

This seems like a very odd situation, once you input decimals for fat or sugar in the nutritional components of your food, it should stay as decimals. Nevertheless, I would like to suggest you to force-close the app by double tapping the home button on your phone and swiping the app up. If this doesn't do the trick, please log out from the app, restart your phone and log back in.

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and let me know the outcome.
