    Search for Apple Health in apps on MFP

    However that said it doesn’t work the way Fitbit does. It will send over your workouts, but the adjustment part on mine isn’t getting the full calorie burn for the day (like Fitbit and other trackers get) which often results in calories being subtracted when I should be seeing a positive. So for example Tuesday I should see about 4 calories in the adjustment slot (Apple Watch Total Calorie Burn - MFP Activity + Exercise = 4) however I am losing 67 calories that day. On days where for whatever reason Apple doesn’t send my exercise over, I can end up with a 1000+ calorie difference between what MFP says I should eat and Apples Total Calorie Burn. It was definitely a shock when I switched devices.

    I believe this Pacer app is the one that can be setup to sync to Apple account, and then obviously from this link to MFP account.

    It presents the data to MFP correctly for MFP to do math with.

    I do notice though it appears it could be setup to just use the Apple watch for it to track steps and estimate calories - you don't want that - you want it merely to pull the data from Apple Health account and then send it on to MFP.

    That way you do the disconnect of current sync that doesn't appear to be working anyway.
