I was excited when I got the MyFitnessPAl notification that an update was available to allow it to syn with HealthKit. I followed all instructions and have enabled HealthKit to share to Sync with MyFitnessPal, but when I enter my food (and hence calories) into My FitnessPal, nothing syncs with HealthKit....more wasted time and expectations!
It works fine for me. Have you adjusted the settings in the Health app so that calories show on the Dashboard?
how do u connect mfp to health kit?
Works fine for me and I really like where this HealthKit is going. There are 2 places where settings need to be changed. First in MyFitnessPal in settings you have to allow access to HealthKit and then in HealthKit you need to turn on the metrics you want it to show and add MyFitnessPal as a source of that data. Currently MyFitnessPal will only sync calories, weight, and exercise. I even use Runtastic to feed MyFitnessPal which then feeds HealthKit.
Does anyone know if MFP will sync historical data to HealthKit? I have enabled all syncing and was hoping my past weight information in MFP would be synced over but it hasn't.
I can't get MFP to sync my exercise, grrrr

MFP does not sync exercise data TO Health. If you have workout data in Health, MFP should be able to read it.
MFP does not sync historical data in the HealthKit. Also if you enable MFP to use iPhone Steps tracker, it says it can only retrieve last 7 days of steps/walk data as iPhone only keeps last 7 days.
Doesnt look like it even syncs 7 day worth data. I got a new phone and it syncs only from the day the day the new phone was set up. even though myfitnesspal shows the historical data correctly, health dashboard does not.
Does anyone know how much data MFP shares? It looks like Apple keeps all theirs on the phone if that's what you want, where can data entered into MFP end up?
I can't get this to work either. I've authorized Healthkit from MyFitnessPal, and I've authorized MyFitnessPal from Healthkit and chosen "All Categories On." No interaction between the two. Is it possible to "force sync" them?
it works fine with Iphone but not with Ipad

Given that there is no Health app for the iPad, it would be hard for MFP to sync with it on the iPad.
HealthKit and MyfitnessPal
