Tracking your fitness and health is now more effortless for users of MyFitnessPal in tandem with Google’s Wear OS. The MyFitnessPal smartwatch app has long provided a means to monitor vital health stats, including calorie intake and fitness progress. However, a notable limitation was the inability to directly edit or input data on wearable devices. Fortunately, a recent app update has transformed the experience for the better.
Streamlined Health Tracking on Wear OS
In a recent blog post, MyFitnessPal unveiled a series of updates designed to simplify tracking and logging for Wear OS users. Now, individuals can seamlessly monitor and record their health data without the need to reach for their smartphones. When wearing compatible Android smartwatches, users gain access to new watch tiles and complications that facilitate food logging, all while keeping tabs on their daily nutritional metrics, such as sugar, fiber, fats, calories, and even hydration levels. Moreover, users can conveniently view a quick overview of their entire day directly from their wrist.
Compatibility and Availability
This feature is tailored for users with smartwatches running Wear OS, including devices like the highly anticipated Pixel Watch 2. The MyFitnessPal app is readily available for download from the Google Play Store.
A Step Forward in Health Monitoring
Although this feature has been available in the MyFitnessPal app for smartwatches for a while now, particularly for Apple Watch users, it marks a significant stride for those utilizing Wear OS. Monitoring one’s health and wellness is a critical endeavor, often challenging to maintain in our busy lives. Any innovation, regardless of its scale, that simplifies the process of tracking health statistics is a commendable development. It remains a wish, however, for a method to log and burn calories without physical exercise.
