Widget that displays data from Garmin Connect app using messenging from the SDK?

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm brand new to the platform, and just got my watch on Saturday. Would it be possible to get data already contained in the Garmin Connect mobile app using "messaging" from the Connect IQ SDK? I want a widget that tells me how many calories I have left via the MyFitnessPal integration. I sent a request for access to their API, which based on how small time I am seems unlikely to happen. If I get that I can simply do a json request. However, since the GC app already has this data, is there any way to grab it directly from the app?
