Troubleshooting Nutrition

If your calories, macros, or nutrition data in Bevel don’t look right, don’t worry. This guide will help you identify common causes and fix them. Follow the steps below to ensure your Nutrition values are accurate and up to date.

Note: This article focuses on the Nutrition values shown on the main Nutrition page in Bevel.

Why this happens

You may have multiple food-tracking apps writing calorie data to Apple Health, which Bevel then reads which results in double counting.

How to fix it

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

3. Tap Data Sources.

4. Tap Nutrition.

5. Hide any duplicate or unwanted sources.

This ensures Bevel only uses your preferred nutrition source. For more information on how to manage data sources, read this article.

Why this happens

More than one workout source may be writing active calories, causing duplicates.

How to fix it

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

3. Tap Data Sources.

4. Tap Workout.

5. Hide any duplicate or unwanted sources.

Bevel will then calculate calories burned using only the correct source. For more information on how to hide data sources, read this article.

Why this happens

Bevel may not have permission to read or write Nutrition data in Apple Health.

How to fix it

Step 1: Check Apple Health permissions

1. Open Apple Health.

2. Tap Sharing.

3. Tap Apps.

4. Select Bevel.

5. Ensure all desired Nutrition items are enabled.

Step 2: Check Bevel settings

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

3. Tap Customization.

4. Tap Nutrition.

5. Scroll down and make sure Write to Apple Health is toggled on.

   1. We recommend toggling on Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Water Intake, Caffeine Intake, and Alcohol to ensure all nutrition data is tracked.

Note: If “Write to Apple Health” was previously turned off, you’ll need to re-add past meals for macros to sync correctly.

Why this happens

Your nutrition app may not have permission to write to Apple Health, or it may not support Apple Health syncing at all.

How to fix it

1. Open Apple Health.

2. Tap Sharing.

3. Tap Apps.

4. Select a third-party app.

5. Ensure all desired Nutrition items are enabled for Read and Write.

Note: Some apps (such as Fastic and Noom) do not write nutrition data to Apple Health.
If an app doesn’t sync with Apple Health, Bevel cannot read its data.

Why this happens

There may be a temporary sync delay with Apple Health, or your app version may be outdated.

Step 1: Confirm Data is Logged

1. Open Apple Health.

2. Search and select Nutrition.

3. Select a nutrient.

4. Tap Show All Data and confirm the data is logged.

5. Open Bevel and:

   • Pull down on the home screen to refresh

   • Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

   • Tap Clear cache & reload all data.

6. Make sure Bevel is up to date in the App Store

Step 2: Reset Permissions in Apple Health

1. Open Apple Health.

2. Tap Sharing Tab.

3. Select Apps.

4. Tap Bevel.

5. Tap Turn Off All.

6. Tap Turn On All.

This refreshes the connection and often resolves sync issues.

Step 3: Check Nutrition Settings in Bevel

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

3. Tap Customization.

4. Tap Nutrition.

5. Scroll down and make sure Write to Apple Health is toggled on.

   1. We recommend toggling on Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Water Intake, Caffeine Intake, and Alcohol to ensure all nutrition data is tracked.

This ensures Bevel can import detailed nutrition data.

Step 4: Verify Data Sources

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner.

3. Select Data Sources.

4. Tap Nutrition.

5. Confirm that Bevel appears as a valid data source.

This helps identify if anything is blocked or misconfigured.
