Nutrition is a key pillar of wellness, but tracking it in a silo reduces its value. Integrating Lifesum with Apple Health or Google Fit is essential for a complete picture of your health.
Why Integration Matters
When you sync calorie and macro data to Apple Health:
- Your metabolism tracker adjusts energy expenditure accuracy.
- Apps like Lifetrails can read this nutritional data to correlate diet with sleep quality and workout performance.
Step-by-Step Setup
For Apple Health
- Open Lifesum > Settings > Automatic Tracking.
- Toggle "Apple Health" on.
- Ensure "Write" permissions are enabled for Dietary Energy, Protein, Carbs, and Fat.
For Google Fit
- Open Lifesum > Settings > Google Fit.
- Connect your account.
The Power of Aggregation
Once synced, an aggregator like Lifetrails becomes infinitely more powerful. It can tell you, "You sleep 15% deeper on days you hit your protein goal," turning data connections into life hacks.
