🔵 Samsung Health

Connecting Samsung Health

FoodSilo connects directly to Samsung Health to automatically sync your steps, calories burned, and body weight. No manual exports needed.

1
In FoodSilo, tap ⚙️ Settings and find the Health & Fitness Sync section.
2
Tap Connect next to Samsung Health. A permissions dialog will appear — allow FoodSilo to access the data types you want to sync.
3
After connecting, use the checkboxes to choose what to sync: Calorie burn, Steps, and/or Weight.
4
FoodSilo will automatically sync your data every time you open the app. You can also tap Import History to backfill up to 90 days of past data.
💡 Notes • Galaxy Watch users: Calorie burn data comes from your watch's heart rate sensor for accurate readings, especially for physical work.

• Weight: If you use a smart scale that syncs to Samsung Health, your weight will update automatically each time you open the app.

• History import: The first time you connect, tap Import History to fill in your past 90 days of steps, calories, and weight.
📱 Google Fit

Connecting Google Fit for Smart Scale Weight

If you have a smart scale that syncs to Google Fit (such as the Wyze Scale X, Fitbit Aria, or Withings Body+), FoodSilo can automatically pull your latest weight each time the app loads.

1
Make sure your smart scale is set up and syncing to Google Fit on your phone. Check the scale's companion app for a "Connect to Google Fit" option.
2
In FoodSilo, tap ⚙️ Settings and find the Health & Fitness Sync section.
3
Tap Connect next to Google Fit. A Google sign-in popup will appear — sign in with the same Google account your scale uses.
4
After connecting, you'll see checkboxes. Make sure Weight is checked. If you also want FoodSilo to pull calorie burn data from Google Fit, check Calories Burned too.
5
FoodSilo will now automatically sync your weight from Google Fit every time you open the app. Your Weight Journey and History will update silently in the background.
💡 Notes • Samsung Watch users: Keep the Calories Burned checkbox unchecked if you're using Samsung Health for calories — Samsung's data is more accurate for physical work. Use Google Fit only for weight.

• Session reconnect: For security, Google Fit requires you to re-authorise each browser session. Just tap Connect again — your preferences are saved.

• Calorie accuracy: Google Fit calorie estimates vary by device. Smartwatch users will get better readings than phone-only users.
❤️ Health Connect

Connecting Health Connect for Weight Sync

Health Connect allows FoodSilo to read your body weight directly from Android's Health Connect, which many smart scales sync to automatically.

1
Make sure your smart scale syncs to Health Connect on your phone. Check the scale's companion app for a "Connect to Health Connect" option.
2
In FoodSilo, tap ⚙️ Settings and find the Health & Fitness Sync section.
3
Tap Connect next to Health Connect. A dialog will explain what to do — you'll be taken to Health Connect to grant FoodSilo access.
4
In Health Connect, find FoodSilo under Your health apps, tap it, and select Allow all. Then return to FoodSilo and tap Connect again.
5
FoodSilo will automatically import your weight history and sync your latest weight every time you open the app.
💡 Notes • Health Connect provides faster and more direct weight updates than Samsung Health since it's closer to the scale's data source.

• You can have both Samsung Health and Health Connect connected simultaneously — each weight entry will be labeled with its source.

• To revoke access, disconnect in FoodSilo Settings or go directly to Health Connect → Your health apps → FoodSilo.
❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does FoodSilo need me to log in?
FoodSilo uses your account to securely store your pantry, food history, and settings in the cloud so your data is always backed up and accessible across devices.
Will my data be shared with anyone?
No. Your data is stored securely in your own private account. Only you can see it. FoodSilo does not sell or share any personal data.
Why did my daily tracker reset?
FoodSilo automatically resets your daily log at a time you set in Settings. If you work shifts or have a changing schedule, you can customise the reset time for each day of the week. You can also create multiple Schedule Profiles with different reset times and switch between them as your schedule changes.
The barcode scanner didn't find my product — what do I do?
FoodSilo uses the Open Food Facts database. If your product isn't in there, it will open the Add Item form with the barcode pre-filled so you can enter the nutrition info manually. It remembers this for next time.
How does AI Lookup work?
AI Lookup lets you get nutrition estimates for any food — restaurant meals, local spots, homemade recipes, or anything not in the database. Tap the 🤖 AI button in the Pantry toolbar or the 🤖 AI Lookup — describe any food button in the Today tab, type a description of what you ate (e.g. "2 slices pepperoni pizza" or "egg everything bagel with cream cheese from Bagel Boss"), and tap Look it up. The AI returns estimated macros based on typical values for that food. These are estimates — always verify against the actual nutrition label where possible. Your food query is sent to Anthropic's AI service; no personal data is included.
What is the Wishlist tab?
The Wishlist is a "buy eventually" list for items you want but aren't ready to purchase yet — things you're waiting on a sale for, items that need more fridge space, or seasonal ingredients. You can scan a barcode to add items directly, or add them manually. When you're ready to buy, tap 🛒 Grocery List to move it to your active shopping list, or 🧺 Add to Pantry if you've already bought it. You'll be asked whether to keep the item on your Wishlist or remove it.
What are Schedule Profiles?
Schedule Profiles let you save different reset time configurations for different schedules — for example a "Standard" profile for your regular week and an "Overtime" profile for when you're working extra days. Switch profiles from the Today tab by tapping your current profile name, or manage them in Settings. Free accounts include up to 3 profiles. Each profile can optionally enable streak pause protection, which prevents your streak from breaking on days you don't log while that profile is active (limited to 14 days per 90 day period).
How do I see how many calories I have left for the day?
Tap the ⇄ icon next to any macro on the Today tab to toggle between showing how much you've logged and how much you have remaining for the day. The label updates to show "remaining" so it's always clear which view you're in. If you've gone over your limit it will show how much you're over in red.
