Calorie counter service MyFitnessPal has announced an integration with Adidas that will add support for data syncing from the miCoach platform.
With the integration, you’ll now be able to automatically import data from miCoach devices, which include smartwatches and heart rate monitors. Since miCoach tracks the calories you burn in your workout, you can match that up with the calories you’re consuming to see how you’re doing with your weight loss goals.
The combination of MyFitnessPal and miCoach plays to each respective product’s strengths. while MyFitnessPal offers exercise journal features, it has always been best for logging what you eat. miCoach, on the other hand, is tailor-made for coaching you through and measuring your workouts. The two companies plan to work beyond this initial integration to find deeper ways to sync their platforms.
As part of today’s announcement, Adidas has also released a new miCoach app that combines short-term benefits, weekly goals and long-term plans.
