The app doesn't use the active energy reading from the health app on iphone, anyone know why? It's not a readable option in the data sharing menu.

    At this time we are currently only reading the step data, and individual "other" workouts sent from the watch via what transfers directly from Apple Health. We are not yet considering the active calories amount, also being measured by the watch.

    In the meantime, you may notice that your total calorie burn showing on the watch, does not match the total being reported to MyFitnessPal by Apple Health. This is to be expected. However, if your step count is not matching up or you do not see your "other" workouts displayed in your MyFitnessPal Diary as "Apple Health Exercises", email our Support Team for further help at support@myfitnesspal.com.

    We will update the following link as we have more information available: https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032625731-How-does-the-MyFitnessPal-Apple-Watch-app-work
