I don't have any details on fitbit. Just my meals and how many calories are in them. Can't modify anything.
On the web version, hover underneath the knife/fork picture, click on 'see more', it will take you to the food log where you can add/remove foods.
This only works if it's double counted separate foods. The way fitbit is working lately, it's adding and subtracting from a whole meal, it's slightly confusing! I'm not going to even bother looking at my fitbit report next Tuesday, cos it'll be way off. I've given up deleting and adding stuff over on fitbit this week!!
That's the thing though - my web dashboard is horrible! all I see is sleep and my badges. Nothing else, no calories, no daily steps, nothing. I have absolutely no idea how to change it. I used to have no problem with my Fitbit One, but with the Charge 2, there's just nothing out there, everything's on the app.
I cant find anything on the damn app! On your web dashboard, top left (next to todays date) there is a little icon with 9 little squares surrounded by a faint circle. Click on that and then click on "add tiles to dashboard", you should be able to select the knife/fork food tile with how many calories you're under or over, dont confuse this with the gauge that says in the zone etc etc1 -

oh wow - good to know that they improved that syncing ability.
I guess improvement, though more data, and more opportunity for error.
Not so sure it was a good idea to sync even more data - when they have had so many issues with the prior level.
How long since that improvement went in?0 -
@heybales I've had my fitbit since March 2015, and im pretty sure it's been there the whole time. I can't say for certain exactly when i first found it. But i can't remember a time where that option hasn't been there.0

Haha thanks! I still can't click on it and modify anything though... probably because it was 3 days ago? Oh well. Nothing's accurate this week anyway...0 -

I don't have that ability actually and my web dash board is pretty comprehensive.
I can delete and entire "summary" but can't see individual entries period.0 -
I've only used the app early on, and since issue seemed to be related to that usage, I stopped and didn't have sync issues ever until 6 months ago.
But I never recalled ability to see the individual food items on the meal entries on Fitbit, and I never recall anyone else mentioning it either.
It was always the comment when sync issues went that direction, that you'd get 2 meals listed perhaps, one being current total for it after changes made, and prior one still there with old totals on it. Had to manually delete the old one, leaving the new one.
Perhaps everyone was doing it through web account and no ability there to look at individual items.
I thought even MFP says only the meal totals sync over to Fitbit.0 -
Yes this is what my PC App food area looks like...I can delete the entire meal but not individual items unless I logged them in Fitbit.

And I mispoke - Fitbit is the one working with MFP API's to sync info.
MFP has the setup - Fitbit is deciding what to pull and push.
So Fitbit would have to be the one to make a change to pull individual food items rather than meal summaries.0 -

Oh *kitten* *kitten*! That's exactly what i meant, I'm obviously not very good at explaining things. I shall go sit back in the corner now :blushing:

Ok so I have the option to delete my entire dinner, but no option to remove whatever extra 100 calories they put in there.
So broken.0 -

Same here. If it doesn't, now that I have the new dashboard, I can just click on the food box and it updates.0 -

I've had to pretty much do that since I got my fitbit...but that was March of this year too so might have something to do with it.0
