MyFitnessPal Review

MyFitnessPal is one of the best-known calorie counters. The food database is enormous and barcode scanning works well. The free version is increasingly restricted, with advanced insights and ad removal locked behind a subscription that some users find overpriced.

KP

Database is unmatched.

★★★★☆ 4/5
Verified user · Katie P.

Almost every packaged food I scan is already in the database. Logging meals takes seconds once you are used to it.

DA

Free version feels limited now.

★★★☆☆ 3/5
Verified user · David A.

Many useful features like macro breakdowns are behind the subscription. The ads are also more intrusive than they used to be.

MJ

Barcode scanner is reliable.

★★★★☆ 4/5
Verified user · Melissa J.

The scanner works quickly even in poor lighting. It makes tracking restaurant portions less painful.

BS

Subscription price jumped.

I have used MyFitnessPal for years but the recent price increase feels greedy for features that were once free.
