Google Fit update brings calorie burn counter to the app

The Google Fit app will now determine the distance you have travelled and the calories you've burned in a day, thanks to a new update.

Users just have to enter their height, weight, and gender in their Google Fit profile and the app will make the calculations from there, reported The Verge. The new update has also made the app more user-friendly for those in Google's smartwatch ecosystem, as there's now a custom Android Wear watch face that displays the Google Fit activity ring, showing how many minutes of activity you've done toward your daily goal.

There's also a new widget for the app, that you can pin to your homescreen, to remind you of your daily goals. You can find out more about the app here. The updated app is available now in the Google Play store.
