What information will Stronglifts sync to Health Connect?
- Body-weight: Stronglifts will pull your body weight from Google Fit so you don't need to enter it manually. Example: you may have a digital scale synced with Google Fit. When you weigh yourself, your body weight will sync to Google Fit and then to Stronglifts. If you manually enter your weight in StrongLifts, it will sync back to Google Fit.
- Workout: Stronglifts will sync your done workouts and workout duration to Google Fit. They will account for your daily activity goals.
- Calories: Stronglifts will sync your estimated calories burned to Google Fit.

Please note that Google is shutting down Google Fit on June 30th, 2025 (source). Health Connect is the new Android app that gathers health and fitness data from different apps on your device. You can find more information about it here. One of the main differences with Google Fit is that Health Connect does not associate your data with a Google account.
