Sharon- I’ve had a lot of luck using the Lose it App- it syncs to the FitBit. Enter your food via the Lose it App for better success. I has a huge food database and you can even scan UPCs from things you eat. It’s way easier! I find it also easier to log activities too!

I understand your troubles. If you are looking for a more detailed ‘food’ list, you may want to try Livestrong.com they have a feature called “MyPlate”. It’s a very detailed list of food entries (everything any human has ever eaten since about 2 BC). I use Livestrong as a reference when Fitbit comes up short.

Fitbit also allows you to enter the calories manually. If you change your privacy settings to “public” for food entries, all the hard work of entering in the nutritional info is shared with others. I’m not sure if Fitbit incorporates newly added customer entries.

It’s very frustrating to log activities – occupation list is incomplete – I am a middle school teacher and I can’t find anything that is close to what I do all day: walk, talk, stand, gesture, and MOVE! (How many of your customers butcher animals?)

Also, we eat out a lot and never at chain restaurants or sandwich places. If I have a pizza, it is from a local restaurant, not any of the ones you have on the list. Even a bagel is hard to log if I don’t know the calorie content. Most of my meals are in local places and usually fine dining.

Any advice? Otherwise, I LOVE my FitBit!
