Studies have shown that while modern wearables are highly accurate for heart rate, their calorie burn estimates can have a margin of error that exceeds 27%, meaning users should view the data as a guide, not a precise figure.

MyFitnessPal does not track steps directly but rather pulls data from integrated health platforms like Apple Health and Google Fit, or dedicated wearable devices. This syncing process allows the app to use information from your phone's motion sensors or an external tracker to provide an exercise-based calorie adjustment in your diary.

Over 200 million people use MyFitnessPal to track their nutrition, but its power is significantly enhanced when connected to other health devices and applications. So, **what does MyFitnessPal sync with**, and how can these integrations provide a more automated and holistic view of your health and fitness? This guide explores the various ways to connect your favorite tools.
