How to Connect Nutrify to Apple Health or Google Health Connect

Health Sync connects Nutrify to Apple Health (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android), letting you import workouts and active calories and optionally write your nutrition data back.

Setting Up Health Sync

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap the Settings tab
3. Tap Health Sync
4. Follow the on-screen permission prompts

On iOS you will be asked to grant Apple Health permissions. On Android you will be redirected to the Google Health Connect app to approve the connection.

What Nutrify Reads from Health

iOS (Apple Health)

• Workouts (type, duration, calories burned)
• Steps and step-based calorie estimates
• Active energy burned
• Distance walked/run
• Flights climbed

Android (Google Health Connect)

• Workouts (type, duration, calories burned)
• Active energy burned
• Distance walked/run
• Flights climbed

💡 Steps are shown on iOS only. Google Play policy restricts reading step data directly from Health Connect, so Android users see workout and active calorie data without a step count.

How Active Calories Affect Your Budget

When Burned Calories is toggled on in Preferences, Nutrify adds your active calories to your daily budget. This means you can eat more on days you exercise.

To control this, go to Settings > Preferences and toggle Burned Calories on or off.

Refreshing Health Data

The Health Sync screen refreshes automatically when you open it. Pull down on the screen to force a manual refresh and get the latest data from Apple Health or Health Connect.

iOS Live Activity

On iOS, Nutrify can show a Live Activity on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island so you can see your calorie balance without opening the app. Enable this in Settings > Preferences under the Live Activity toggle.

Troubleshooting Health Sync

Workouts not appearing?

• Make sure the Nutrify integration is authorized in the Health app (iOS: Health > Apps > Nutrify) or Health Connect (Android)
• Check that your workout app (e.g. Fitness, Strava) is also authorized to write to Apple Health / Health Connect

Calories seem too high or too low?

• Apple Health and Health Connect may overlap calorie sources (workout calories + active energy). Nutrify attempts to avoid double-counting but some variation is normal depending on your devices.
