The Apple Watch Series 7 can be found for around $450. Check how many calories you’ve burned compared to what you’ve eaten so you can see if you’re on track. This is a really useful feature in conjunction with calorie counting via MyFitnessPal. In a nutshell, using the Workout app on your Apple Watch should track the data that MyFitnessPal will except as ‘exercise’.You can use the famous Rings to set your own daily goals for both exercise and active minutes (there is a difference defined by your heart rate). On the other hand, when you actually do some exercise, this will be seen as over and above what it’s already calculated.

So the app has already factored that into its calculations.

What I mean by this is that when you set MyFitnessPal up you would have entered your Activity Level from one of four choices: Not Very Active Lightly Active Active and Very Active. If so, you should then get credited the calories for the exercise you’ve done.Īs for the normal everyday steps you’re doing from walking around etc, while MyFitnessPal is showing you an indication of these, it’s probably not going to count any calories associated with these steps as it's already factored that into its calculations for how many calories you should be doing on each day.

So, to solve this, try using the Workout app on your Apple Watch the next time you’re doing exercise (even if it’s just a walk) and see if that is recognised as exercise in MyFitnessPal. If you’re not telling the Apple Watch that something you’re doing is to be counted as exercise, then the data is probably not being recorded in the way MyFitnessPal wants in order to see it as exercise. This may sound silly, but since everything is okay according to Apple and MyFitnessPal, are you actually doing any exercise? Let me explain… Thanks in advance for any and all help! :) So why isn’t this working? Has anyone else come across this? Is there a fix? I’m desperate to get this working! I contacted MyFitnessPal and as far as they can tell, I’ve set everything right within their app as well. I called Apple Support and they checked all my settings for the Health app and Apple Watch and everything is good. It does show an indication of my steps, but I’m not being allocated any calories for this or other exercise.

The problem is, whenever I look at my Diary in MyFitnessPal it never seems to capture the exercise I’m doing, and this is throwing out all my Calories remaining for the day. And, in the Health app I’ve given permission for MyFitnessPal to read Apple Watch data for Steps, Walking + Running Distance, and Workouts. In MyFitnessPal I’ve chosen my Apple Watch as the device to track steps. I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 3 to track my exercise, steps and so on, and I’m trying to get it to work properly with MyFitnessPal, but something has gone astray. For a long time I’ve been using MyFitnessPal on my iPhone as a diet/calorie tracker.
