    I do know that the Health app on Iphone's logs the steps & can be linked with MFP.

    ​Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...

    If you link an app like SHealth, Apple's Health app, Fitbit, Garmin, ect then step data collected from the app will be sent to MFP. On the website the steps will show up under the progress area where weight and measurements are tracked. On the phone app you will have to make sure the app you connected is selected as the step source.

    Look for a device that syncs, a device that compares the number of steps you took against your stated activity level.....and gives you credit for the DIFFERENCE. You don't want to log all your steps or you will have a fair amount of double counting.

    @shadow2soul I added Google fit and linked it to MFP... I still do see any steps being counted
    I thought those steps and data will be picked automatically by MFP.. may be my assumption was wrong
    Any suggestions ???

    In the app go to the side menu and choose Steps. Check that you have Google Fit selected as your step tracker. If that doesn't work try doing it from the web version.
