Is there a way to sync my steps from my Apple Watch into the app?

    By connecting the watch with the iphone with bluetooth the app automatically shows steps counted by the watch.

    I've found to get the steps to appear; you need to sign in via the mobile app...

    You’ll need a 3rd party app like Pacer bc MFP & AW don’t integrate well. Download the free version of Pacer. Link Pacer to MFP and Apple Health. In MFP, select Pacer for steps. Once you log an activity in your Apple Watch, open Pacer and sync. In MFP, you will see 2 adjustments, one from Pacer, one from Apple Health. Delete the Apple Health bc it’s a duplicate. Your “move calories” in the Watch will be your adjustment in MFP.
    In MFP, set your activity level to “not very active”. Your “move calories” in Apple Watch will be your adjustment. If you set your activity level to something more, the number in MFP will most likely be over-projected. Right now, my TDEE in MFP and Apple Watch are roughly the same.
