Can you tell me how to get myfitnesspal to sync up with the Apple Watch so that it can record my steps taken? When I click on more, steps, and then devices, Apple Watch is not an option. Thanks! Jaycee

    Is MFP listed as a Source in your Health app on your phone? I believe MFP actually pulls the data from your phone (based on info sent to your phone from your watch), so MFP would need to be listed as a source. One it's listed as a source, you should be able to add it on MFP.

    I am having the same issues. I disconnected all other trackers and made sure MFP was in my Health app as a source and the Apple Watch is still not an option.

    You should post this in the technical support/need help section so the people who run MFP can see it :)

    Similar issue here. MFP worked fine initially, until I noticed it was double-logging my activities. I then manually turned some stuff of in the health app, leaving MFP to only read run/walk and steps data from the health app. Since doing this though, it's not reading any data from the health spp, leaving me to manually capture my exercise. Any help to fix this will be appreciated.

    Make sure that you are allowing MFP to "read" data in the Sources section of Apple Health for Workouts.
