Apple Watch for chronic pain management

Hi

The built-in apps on Apple Watch do not include food intake tracking features.

However, you may find that a third-party app meets your needs for logging food intake throughout the day.

For example:

MyFitnessPal

• Apple Watch app includes the ability to log Quick Add calories:
  • http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/17073048-adding-food
• MyFitnessPal on the App Store

Calorie Counter and Food Diary by MyNetDiary

• "Apple Watch App: Log foods - selecting from favorites or with dictation!"
  • http://www.mynetdiary.com/iPhone.html
• Calorie Counter and Food Diary by MyNetDiary on the App Store

Various other apps are also available. You may find it most helpful to search the app store using "calorie counter"as the search term.

To browse and search for apps with the results pre-filtered to include only those iPhone apps that also include an app for Apple Watch, use the Watch app on your iPhone. Apps can be searched by keyword or app name via the Search tab.

Information about the built-in health and fitness tracking features of Apple Watch is available here:

• Track workouts and stay healthy with Apple Watch - Apple Support
• Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
• Work out with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Why do you need the watch to monitor food intake? You will need an app like My Fitness Pal to log your calories. The watch can monitor your heart rate, track your steps, etc. ℹ

In addition to the information provided in my previous reply, be sure to keep in mind Apple's Important safety information, which includes:
