Can the my fitness pal app on your watch take in your gym sessions from the Apple Watch?
Hey Dualta! That's an excellent question! I'm going to film a PART TWO to this video that addresses this.
When it comes to the MyFitnessPal app on your Apple Watch, it will only display Steps.
However, you can sync your Apple Watch workouts to the MyFitnessPal app on your iPhone and they will count towards your Exercise calories!
Will drop a link to the video here and in my description when it's ready!
@@KevTheTrainer okay thanks a million Kevin
@@dualtamckee Hey! I finished my tutorial on tracking your workouts from Apple Watch to MyFitnessPal: ruclips.net/video/LYeQA6EPNUE/видео.html
Hope that helps!
This is super helpful Kev! I've been looking for a watch to invest in! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
Very Helpful, thank you
Tysm
Thank you!!! This was exactly what I needed, your walk through was super helpful 👍🏼
Happy to help, Faith!
thanks so much for explaining how to connect these two!
Happy to help!
Dude thank you sooo much!!! I definitely gave this video a like 👍🏾🙂
Happy to help, Abundantly Blessed!
Thank you. I was hoping I can enter food via the watch.
Also I don’t get any numbers in first nutrients screen. It just shows dashes. But the second nutrients shows correctly. Any ideas how to fix. Thx
Perfect timing. I’m looking for a new watch on Black Friday :)
Ooh! Apple Watch is a great buy!
Is there a way to edit your Apple watch face to include how many calories you have eaten/drank versus the amount you have burned? Or is there a way to display MFP data on your apple watch face like you are able to do with for example, the app Lifesum? Any suggestions or help is appreciated!
Appreciate the Apple Watch n fitness pal app
Kev, so glad I found you channel. I am 73 years old, and very overweight. As well as type 2 diabetic. I am under the care of some great people at my VA hospital where I live. Locating your channel is important to me because I must lose about 60 more pounds. I won't bore you with why, just know it is important. My youngest son and I both are on MyFitnessPal. He is encouraging me to do the right things. I have lost over 40lbs so far. I want my Apple watch and Apple health app to track to MyFitnessPal so my son can see my daily accomplishments. Thank you so much for the easy-to-understand tutorial on how to do this. So clear and easy to understand.
Hello Jim,
Thanks for sharing this thoughtful comment! It really meant a lot for me to read. You won’t bore me at all! I’m happy to hear that you’re well on your way to losing weight and improving your health. Congratulations on losing 40 lbs, so far! I’m happy my tutorial could help. Keep up the good work 😌.
@@KevTheTrainer Kev, thank you so much for being on RUclips and sharing your skills with us. I must lose the weight and get my A! C down to 7 before they will replace my shoulder joints. I am working with to do both, like I said before, I have some great people at the VA that are helping me along this journey. I have subscribed to your channel and applied the bell. I intend to follow you and learn all I can from you. I may be 73 years old, but I have a lot to live for. My wife and have been married for 53 years, we have 3 wonderful children and love each other more today that when we met. She has been two combat tours in Vietnam with me and all that has come after that. Will I have diverted from my health journey? Keep up the good work.
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks, Tamie!
Kev, I love your videos... I have a question. How can I have my fitness Pal exercise calorie count match my apple watch "activity" count. MFP only logging when I do work outs leaving alot of calories out. Do I have to manually put in the diff myself ?
Hi! Thank you! Are there any apps for Apple watch that are anywhere compatible to fitbit? Specifically food barcode scanning to track calories, micronutrients, vitamins...etc just by the scan of a barcode and then select the serving size? Also fitbit has the sleep tracker, alarms, oxygen saturation, ECG, Temp...etc. The cool thing about fotbit is that it is all within one app instead of where it appears that with am Apple watch, you'd have to have multiple apps to do what fotbit does in a one-stop shop.
Kev is there a scale compatible with map? Body scale and food scale, why not!
This video made me download
That’s great! Have fun, Christolin!
Thanks! But occasionally spreadsheet is not available now. Where it could be downloaded?
GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks, Richard!
Very helpful Kev!! We're not always super tech savvy ;)
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this, it is so hard to find the correct apps. Great tutorial.
Happy to help!
I used to want an apple watch so badly!! Lowkey still thinking about it
I had everything set up on my phone and I’ve been using it for quite a while. But something happened it’s not showing up on my app on my phone anymore and I can’t get it back everything’s on everything’s checked I don’t know what to do
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Professor!
How about BCAA & Protein Shakes Video??
I just switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch. I have a Fitbit Aria scale. MyFitnessPal is not syncing steps from my Apple Watch, only exercises. Under More, I clicked Steps and both Fitbit and Apple Watch are checked. I learned I can disconnect Fitbit from MyFitnessPal, but I am worried my weight from my Fitbit Aria scale won't sync with MyFitnessPal. By having both apps connected under Step tracking, is that causing the issue of my Apple Watch syncing steps? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. :)
Dope video bro - I was looking at the series 6 apple watch that will release this year and they're finally coming out with sleep tracking! Might have to buy it to monitor my REM sleep and get that quality muscle recovery after a workout
Thanks! That’s sick, man! If you do get it, def do an unboxing, review and test out the features! The question I have is when would be a good time to charge it if it’s now a sleep tracker. With my Apple Watch 2, the battery typically lasted a day, so it was practical to use the night to charge.
@@KevTheTrainer very true for the unboxing and the charging!
My Apple Watch is not correctly syncing my calories burned while swimming to MFP. Any ideas how to improve that?
Quite helpful Kev. The interface for my samsung watch sucks for MFP.
Thanks, Doc! Oh no! Hopefully they can patch that up and improve it!
Hey Do you know how to sync MFP with apple health app? I set all things like they are explained in the internet but when I want some data from MFP the health app didn‘t show me some:/
Hey, Koopa! I have a Part 2 to this video that might address what you’re talking about: ruclips.net/video/LYeQA6EPNUE/видео.html
Just to clarify so I can help you out better, you’re trying to see health data from MFP on Apple Health? Or Apple Health on MFP? And which data?
is there a way you can upload the workout you just did to MFP? i just burned 300 cal in my workout but i can only manually add it as it’s own “workout”. is there a way to sync anything other than your steps???
Hey, Emily! I cover that in Part 2: ruclips.net/video/LYeQA6EPNUE/видео.html
Hope that helps!
Can you link or after you do what you just taught, link the workouts you do that are tracked on the Apple Watch to the My Fitness Pal automatically?
Hey, Lew! I talk more about linking and exercise in Part 2 here - ruclips.net/video/LYeQA6EPNUE/видео.html
Hopefully that helps!
Hey Kev! Thanks for posting this for newbies like me.
Question... my watch doesn’t allow me to input my water intake and my nutrients page is blank. I belief it’s synced to my phone cause it tracks my steps. Help!
Hey, Let’s MakeUp! Happy to help! Unfortunately there’s been a bug that’s been affecting the Apple Watch MyFitnessPal app that’s basically impacted the way many of its features functions 😔. So there’s no fix for it right now. I talk about it early in Part 3 of this series! ruclips.net/video/20-ZOdSU91I/видео.html
If you havent fixed it yet just have your phone near your Apple Watch and go into the MyFitnessPal app on your PHONE not your watch and on bottom right corner click MORE and then scroll all the way down and click the "SYNC" button. This fixed it for me as all my screens were blank on my apple watch and now its showing same info as phone app.
Any idea why that first ‘nutrients’ overview screen is constantly just empty for me? It never has the rings around the numbers and just shows ‘ - - cals’ ‘- - carbs’ etc. I have the Apple Watch series 6 and everything is up to date. No idea why this one page won’t work...
SAME!
I am having trouble with the informaition syncing between phone and watch
For some reason on my watch the nutrients and steps screen are black
My apple watch is not syncing with my phone for fitness pal
First page with nutrients, it doesn`t show any data even if I put meals on the iphone app it doesn`t trasnfer the data to the watch
Hey, WolfNStein 2K! A few others have been having the same problem. MFP addressed this as a bug they’re working to fix; hopefully a future update will come soon! Here’s what MFP said about it: bit.ly/3f6ax8Q
Hey Kev how do I add photos to my news feed
Hey Thomas! When I use it for my iPhone I only have the option of adding a Progress Photo. Are you looking to add photos of your meals? Androids seem to have more functionality here.
Check this out and see if it helps: support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032270632-Posting-on-your-Newsfeed
When I go onto the app on my watch it doesn’t show me any data for nutrients on the first page. Do you know why this is and how to fix it? Thanks!
Hey Ross! Which Apple Watch Series do you have? I’ve heard about the same issue with someone using a Series 6.
@@KevTheTrainer I’m using the SE
i’m also having this issue on an apple watch series 3!
I did some research and saw that this was a common bug being experienced by users: bit.ly/3nskIrB
They say to uninstall and install the app, and if that doesn’t work, they’re working on a bug fix!
U got a solution ? have the same problem..
i get no Data on the first page on the apple watch app and i cant add quick calories.... the only thing that is working on the apple watch is the last page and the steps (kinda)
Hey 7182janni! Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that :/. That’s so strange. Which Apple Watch are you using? Users have said they had trouble seeing the Nutrition screen.
@@KevTheTrainer - using the series 5. They said on their homepage that they are working on those bugs. I guess we will have to wait :p
Aw yeah. Hopefully they’ll get to it soon!
Does the app have a trainer function to push you?
Hey Sam! The Premium version of the app on the phone has a Workout Feature with various workout routines, and meal plans. However, on the free iPhone/watch app you’re really able to just log your food, beverages and exercise.
@@KevTheTrainer thank you for the speedy reply Kev!
Or, scales that are compatible with Apple Watch and therefore mfp. I’m planning to get an apple watch and I would like my body’s scale, Apple & mfp all connected. Watch and
The first tab labeled nutrients doesn’t show up any numbers they’re all blank!! Help
Hey there, Mel! This is an issue many users are experiencing, myself included since I upgraded my Apple Watch! MyFitnessPal said they're aware of the problem, but have not provided a fix for it (and it's been over a month since they've identified the issue). So, we'll have to wait for them to release a software update!
@@KevTheTrainer thanks for the reply! I’ve discovered MyNetDiary which does this and so much more then MyFitnessPal!
@@Thelifeswork Awesome! I’ll have to check that out!
Misses the part when the watch says open MyFitnessPal on the iphone, and then stalls.
The nutrition screen doesn’t work for me
Hey, Radical Conservative! Unfortunately this is an issue for many users now, myself included. I talk about it in this video: ruclips.net/video/20-ZOdSU91I/видео.html at 0:56!
