Import MyFitnessPal nutrition information into Apple HealthKit

MyFitnessPal-HealthKit

Import MyFitnessPal nutrition information into Apple HealthKit.

How It Works

The problem: After allowing MyFitnessPal to write nutrition data to HealthKit only newly logged food will be written. The previous entries are not synced into HealthKit.

This program traverses your food diary, edits the last food entry in each meal, and saves it. MyFitnessPal will consider the data to be new, and write it to HealthKit.

The entries in your food diary are not altered.

Requirements

• Python

• Selenium

• Chrome and ChromeDriver

• An ad-blocker extension for Chrome. uBlock Origin is recommended.

  You will need the .crx file, which can be downloaded from this website by searching for extension ID cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm.

Usage

1. On your iOS device, make sure you have allowed MyFitnessPal to write data to HealthKit.

2. Run ./myfitnesspal-healthkit.py.

3. Switch to the browser that opened, and log in to your account.

4. The program will begin traversing your food diary.

   Do not scroll the browser window, because it may cause an error to be raised.

   You can switch to another application and allow myfitnesspal-healthkit.py and its Chrome process to run in the background.

5. After your entire food diary has been traversed, stop the myfitnesspal-healthkit.py program by using Control-C.

6. Open MyFitnessPal on your iOS device. You should see the network activity indicator spinning, as the app is downloading the updates to your food diary.
