Yes you can track food
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've been a fitbit user since 2011. The food logging features have always been present and are not specific of the Charge 4 device. The Fitbit app and website provide extensive and comprehensive food logging features that are available to any and all fitbit users regardless of the fitbit device you may have. They are managed directly at the fitbit webiste or via the fitbit app that you will download to your smartphone. You could even potentially sign up and use the food logging features without owning a fitbit device, but the experience would be diminished in this case because you would be missing out on the daily calories burned info calculated by your device. Even without a fitbit device, the system will nonetheless calculate your expected daily caloric consumption based on age, gender, height and body weight and you could still manually log exercises to add some additional calories burnt to your daily calories budget. Having the fitbit device will take care of estimating how many more calories your burn throughout the day both during physical exercise activities as well as anything else you do during the day. The charge 4 in particular has an embedded heart rate sensor, so estimation of additional calories burnt throughout the entire 24 hours is actually pretty precise. It also has automatic activity detection, so if you engage in some unplanned activity and forget to start measuring you caloric consumption, the charge 4 will detect it and automatically start recording your exercise session. This all helps getting more later from the food logging and body weight control features of the fitbit app and website environment. All fitbit devices enhance/improve the caloric consumption estimates based on your overall physical activity during the day, but the ones with a heart rate sensor such as Charge 4, Charge 3 or Inspire HR do it better.
