Health and device
Apple Health and Health Connect
Every toggle, what it reads, and what it writes back.
Food Loops integrates with Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android. Every part of it is a separate toggle, off until you turn it on.
The toggles
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
Import weight | Reads weigh-ins recorded by other apps or a smart scale |
Active Energy Burned | Reads calories burned from activity |
Export nutrition data | Writes your logged calories, macros, sodium and fiber back to Health |
Blood Sugar Insights | Reads CGM glucose data for analysis (iOS only) |
Direction matters
Import and export are separate. You can read weight in without writing nutrition out, or the reverse. Nothing is enabled by default.
Health data is read on the device. Enabling these toggles doesn't send anything to a server — the only requests that leave your phone are the AI ones, and health data isn't part of them except for the glucose analysis you explicitly request.
