MyFitnessPal Integration

Stream MyFitnessPal data. No MyFitnessPal API needed.

MyFitnessPal writes each logged meal — calories, protein, carbs, and fat — to Apple Health and Health Connect, and Sahha’s SDK reads it into your app as normalized nutrition biomarkers, alongside every other source.

How it works

Your users connect MyFitnessPal. Sahha does the rest.

This is your user’s side of the story — one screen, once. Sahha ingests every MyFitnessPal signal, normalizes, deduplicates, and delivers it to your service — raw, or as refined intelligence your product can act on.

On-device and permissioned

MyFitnessPal data is read on the user’s own device, only after they grant Apple Health or Health Connect permission — nothing syncs without consent.

One integration, every source

Permission is per data type, not per brand. Anything that writes to Apple Health or Health Connect — MyFitnessPal today, a new watch next year — flows through the same SDK with no extra prompt and no new code.

Data coverage

What MyFitnessPal syncs through Apple Health & Health Connect.

  • Request only what you need

    You choose exactly which of these signals to request from Apple Health / Health Connect — users are only ever prompted for those, which keeps opt-in rates high.

  • One schema, every source

    MyFitnessPal, Apple Watch, and Oura all return the same fields and units.

  • What crosses the bridge

    Calories, protein, carbs, and fat pass through the platform; some device-exclusive metrics may not.

MyFitnessPal writes calories and macronutrients — protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and sugar — to Apple Health and Health Connect, plus sodium and cholesterol where logged. All arrive in Sahha’s Nutrition category alongside every other source.

Get more than just raw data

Sahha turns these signals into biomarkers, scores, archetypes, and insights — the modeling done for you.

Build vs. buy

Reading Apple Health and Health Connect yourself? Here’s the to-do list.

Everything on the left is yours to write, test, and maintain across two platforms. Everything on the right, Sahha already did.

Every device
Build it yourself
  • Integrate Apple Health.
  • Then Health Connect, separately.
  • Then reconcile the two.
With Sahha

One SDK covers Apple Health, Health Connect, and every cloud source.

Getting the data
Build it yourself
  • Write the HealthKit queries.
  • Write the Health Connect queries.
  • Wire up background delivery.
With Sahha

The SDK handles queries, permissions, and background sync.

Keeping it clean
Build it yourself
  • Dedupe apps writing the same metric.
  • Map dozens of platform types.
  • Normalize iOS against Android.
With Sahha

Deduped, typed, one schema — one stream per user.

Turning it into insight
Build it yourself
  • Build a sleep model.
  • Build an activity model.
  • Hire a data scientist.
With Sahha

Scores, archetypes, and insights — built in.

Keeping it alive
Build it yourself
  • Apple or Google changes an API.
  • You find out in production.
With Sahha

We version the SDK. You never notice.

No MyFitnessPal developer account needed — Sahha reads what MyFitnessPal already writes to Apple Health and Health Connect.

Setup

Live in an afternoon, not a sprint.

  1. # Add the Sahha SDKnpm install sahha-react-native
    01

    Add the Sahha SDK

    Drop the Sahha SDK into your iOS or Android app — or React Native or Flutter. One dependency covers both Apple Health and Health Connect.

  2. 02

    Prompt for health permissions

    Call the SDK to show the native Apple Health or Health Connect consent sheet. The user chooses what to share — under your brand. It’s one prompt, ever: permission is per data type, not per brand, so every future source is already covered.

    Sahha reads and delivers

    Once permission is granted, the SDK reads MyFitnessPal data from Apple Health / Health Connect in the background, normalizes it to one schema, and streams it to your app by webhook or API.

Most teams read live MyFitnessPal data the same day they add the SDK. The only per-source prerequisite: your user has MyFitnessPal’s Apple Health / Health Connect sync switched on — most source apps enable it by default.

Destinations

Route it into your stack.

Sahha streams every update to your webhook — and a step-by-step guide takes it the rest of the way into your database, CDP, or messaging tool.

FAQ

MyFitnessPal integration questions

How does Sahha get MyFitnessPal data?

MyFitnessPal writes your logged nutrition to Apple Health and Health Connect, and Sahha reads it from there with its mobile SDK — so you get calories and macros without integrating the MyFitnessPal API directly.

Which MyFitnessPal metrics does Sahha provide?

Calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, and sugar — plus sodium and cholesterol where logged — all normalized into Sahha’s Nutrition biomarker category.

Do I need a mobile app to use the MyFitnessPal integration?

Yes. Because MyFitnessPal data lands in Apple Health / Health Connect on the user’s device, you embed the Sahha mobile SDK to read it. Cloud-only sources like Oura don’t need the SDK, but on-device sources like MyFitnessPal do.

Does it work on both iOS and Android?

Yes. The same Sahha SDK reads Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android, and normalizes both to one schema.

Is the MyFitnessPal integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified, and MyFitnessPal data flows through the same compliant pipeline as every other source.

More integrations

One API for every other source, too.

Add another wearable or app and the schema, webhooks, and scores are identical — no new pipeline to build.
