I joined FatSecret HQ as a product manager at the start of 2017. It is my job to look at how members are using the site/apps, and understand what their needs are. From that, I am then responsible for making improvements to the site and apps, as well as introducing new features.

Feel free to message me with suggestions or feedback, or just to say hi.

We'd like you to hear your story...
Hi everyone.

My name is Ben. I'm the Product Lead at FatSecret. I'm about to roll into my fourth year with the company and after investing the first three years in helping our founders get the company onto a path whereby we can grow our team and reinvest in the company, I'm now encouraging our team to be more focused on our users.

Our FatSecret community is populated with people with a variety of stories: be they different nutritional goals, different challenges and obstacles, different paths to success. There's also a lot of similarities that help us work out what are the best things for us to focus on to help the most number of people.

I'm looking for people in our community who would like to share their stories in two different ways.

The first, is for anyone interested in being interviewed for our podcast. It's intent is to help others understand some of the struggles to expect, solutions to challenges that arise, and tips and tricks to getting where they want to go with their nutrition.

The podcast is called FatSecrets - you can find it on itunes, spotify, stitcher etc

The second, is for our annual team day, we are looking to put together a series of videos from our users, talking about what FatSecret has done for them. Helping our team see the difference we're making, is the motivation we need to make sure we keep building the right things for our users.

If you're interested in contributing to either or both of these, please message me on here, or send me an email: ben@fatsecret.com

You can be anywhere in the world to participate in either of these.

Metrics for some common measurements and body fat percentage?
Hi leyso,

We're definitely exploring what other data we can help people track, and then provide better guidance on how to reach one's goals.

We'd be very interested in hearing from you if you'd like to participate in our early customer research.

Country where
G'day Janet - where in AU are you from? FatSecret HQ is in Melbourne, so please feel free to say hi Smile

FYI, your profile is transferable. If you login on fatsecret.com.au it just means it will connect you to the Australian food database, and publish your journal posts to the Australian community. Your FS followers should all still get notified when you post or interact with them though, regardless of where you're posting from.

Bug Report: Premium Meal Planner adding incorrect values when adding saved meals
Hi,

This sounds very frustrating - can you provide us with some more information please, so that we can try to diagnose the issue?

If you could let us know the following information:
- which market are you in (the US? Somewhere else)?
- which screens are you seeing the 200g chicken breast get changed to 2.00?
- Were you using the website, Android or iOS App?
- if you can provide us with some screen captures of the steps you take (or a video recording), this would be very helpful too.

Please email us details: contact@fatsecret.com (or me directly: ben@fatsecret.com) and we can try to identify and resolve the issue.

Ben
