So, to solve this, try using the Workout app on your Apple Watch the next time you’re doing exercise (even if it’s just a walk) and see if that is recognised as exercise in MyFitnessPal. If you’re not telling the Apple Watch that something you’re doing is to be counted as exercise, then the data is probably not being recorded in the way MyFitnessPal wants in order to see it as exercise. This may sound silly, but since everything is okay according to Apple and MyFitnessPal, are you actually doing any exercise? Let me explain… Thanks in advance for any and all help! :) So why isn’t this working? Has anyone else come across this? Is there a fix? I’m desperate to get this working! I contacted MyFitnessPal and as far as they can tell, I’ve set everything right within their app as well. I called Apple Support and they checked all my settings for the Health app and Apple Watch and everything is good.

It does show an indication of my steps, but I’m not being allocated any calories for this or other exercise. The problem is, whenever I look at my Diary in MyFitnessPal it never seems to capture the exercise I’m doing, and this is throwing out all my Calories remaining for the day. And, in the Health app I’ve given permission for MyFitnessPal to read Apple Watch data for Steps, Walking + Running Distance, and Workouts. In MyFitnessPal I’ve chosen my Apple Watch as the device to track steps. I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 3 to track my exercise, steps and so on, and I’m trying to get it to work properly with MyFitnessPal, but something has gone astray. For a long time I’ve been using MyFitnessPal on my iPhone as a diet/calorie tracker.
