MyFitnessPal
- Massive database covers most branded foods
- Connects with many apps and wearables
- Familiar, easy daily logging
- User-submitted entries are often inaccurate
- Free version is ad-heavy with key tools paywalled
MyFitnessPal is the calorie counter most people try first, and its food database is the biggest reason to stick with it. You will find almost any branded or restaurant item. But much of that database is user-submitted, so errors creep in, and the free version leans heavily on ads while many useful tools sit behind Premium. It still works for basic calorie counting, with more friction than before.
