[Integration Request] Import nutrition data from Apple Health

Unfortunately, the ability to pull data from Apple Health would yield incomplete logs in our app. Therefore, our goal is to create a food logging at that is at parity with other food logging apps on the market. While we will eventually enable the exporting of your food logging data to Apple Health, we likely won't be supporting the ability to pull food logs from Apple Health.

[Integration Request] Ihealth marco and food data

Is there a reason the food data doesn't sync in from ihealth? I prefer to use other apps to log my food and it would be awesome if the data pulled across into levels.

[Integration Request] Macros and Water Integration with Apple Health
Melissa MacLagan
Allow the ability to 'select' to import macros from Apple Health. This option should be able to be 'turned on' or 'turned off' by the user - possibly even selected by the day - i.e. 'Import Apple Health Macros for today 9/25/2024'
For import, give the ability for levels to import macros data (protein, fat, carbs) from a time period from Apple Health and show them in the levels timeline in a 'grouped' entry. These macros should be 'grouped' on the timeline so that there is not a separate entry for macro data items that have only a few minutes different. This would give a user the ability to integrate levels with macros that are already being entered/tracked elsewhere (and subsequently synced with Apple Health). These macros should also be included in the macro totals at the top of the timeline.
To prevent duplication with meals/macros entered in Levels on a particular day, the user should have the ability select whether to import external macros or not. Possibly the user would not select to import on a day where they were recording meals/macros data in levels.
'Water' entries already integrate with Apple Heath. However, entries that are just a minute apart will currently show up as separate timeline entries. This results in a cluttered timeline and is not as helpful as it could be. Similar to macros, would like the ability to manually import water with a button 'import water for today 9/25/2009' or the ability to turn it on and off. Would also like to see levels 'group' water entries that are within some time period of each others (i.e. 30 or 60 minutes) so that it is not so cluttered and the water data is more meaningful within the levels timeline.
I have uploaded a photo of the water entries that shows the current issue. This is caused because there is some water in foods that are logged in a separate app. When the foods are logged, they can be timestamped a few minutes apart. Would like to see these grouped (by entries within 30 or 60 minutes of each other possibly?). Alternatively, would like the ability to select to turn off the water data integration.
I have also uploaded a photo of the my 'carbs' entries in Apple Health - would not want these imported as-is but rather grouped (by entries within 30 or 60 minutes possibly?) on the Levels timeline. If possible would like the ability to edit and name the group (ie. Lunch at Mondos)

Better Android Health, like food/nutrition.

I have only been doing this for a few weeks and it’s really frustrating to find items in the database unless you can scan a barcode.
I tried to text “meal with” the amounts of macronutrients and it brings up a bunch of random items that have similar macros.
I stopped keeping track in Levels because it’s ineffective and I’m not going to keep trying work around the system.
If there isn’t a solution by the time my membership renews I will cancel it.

Might as well add this for the Android side too via Health Connect.

If Levels were integrated with Apple Health for food logging this would mean we could use one of the more robust food logging apps (MyFitnessPal, Noom, Lose it) and have all food logging carry over. This would be a game changer for capturing food data.

I agree !! Please consider allowing Levels to read/write the meal logging results from Health. There are so many fully developed apps that your users are already happy with! I cannot stand having to log meals in both carb manager and levels, it’s a huge waste of time. Plus I’m sorry but levels food logging interface and functionality does not even come close to meeting existing apps being used by so many of your levels clients!

I agree 100%. I have used Carb Manager for years and it uploads all my macro/nutrition beautifully. I have recipes and favorites already setup in Carb Manager and it would take Levels years and years to add similar functionality. Please just add the ability to load the data from Health.
BTW I have been a CIO, an IT Director, and a consultant for Accenture’s predecessor org, Andersen Consulting. I have a lot of experience evaluating app functionality and training users. Trying to develop levels meal logging to the same level of functionality as those already being used is a very ambitious goal! Please consider a simpler, less expensive and more practical alternative!
