  • Calories consumed
  • Daily nutrient totals

The Google Health integration is configured with water export enabled and calorie/nutrient export disabled.

Therefore, Fitbit's behaviour of sending daily food nutrient totals does not apply to Google Health.

Troubleshooting

How to Resolve a Google Health Connection Error

If you receive an error message when trying to connect to Google Health. This error usually occurs when the Google account selected in Cronometer is not linked to an active Google Health profile. Cronometer cannot complete the connection until that profile has been set up.

Please follow these steps:
  1. Open the Google Health app.
  2. Sign in using the Google account you want to connect to Cronometer.
  3. Complete any outstanding account or profile setup.
  4. Confirm that your health profile and data are available under that Google account.
  5. Open Cronometer and go to More > Connect Apps & Devices.
  6. Disconnect Google Health if it appears connected or partially connected.
  7. Select Google Health and sign in using the same Google account.
  8. Grant all requested permissions.
  9. Confirm that Google Health appears under Connected Devices.
If you have multiple Google accounts on your device, please double-check that you selected the account containing your active Google Health profile.

If the connection still fails, please reach out to support@cronometer.com with a screenshot of the error so we can investigate further.
