Meal logging guide for Google Health

Google Health, Health Connect, and Google Fit are different layers

Google Health is the consumer app and MealSync’s current record destination. Health Connect is Android’s on-device interoperability layer. Google Fit and its APIs are in migration, while the Google Health API is Google’s web-centric cloud integration path.

Where MealSync writes today

MealSync currently uses the Google Health API nutrition-log endpoint after Google OAuth. It does not claim a direct Health Connect write in the commercial web workflow.

Why the distinction matters

Health Connect can store NutritionRecord data written by Android apps. That does not mean Health Connect interprets a photo, menu, receipt, or voice note. Capture and estimation happen in MealSync; only the reviewed structured result is sent onward.

The data boundary

MealSync sends the reviewed nutrition record—not your source photo, receipt, menu, label, or voice content—to Google Health.
