Is MyFitnessPal Worth It in 2026?
MyFitnessPal's free tier is one of the best nutrition tracking tools available. Premium is worth it if you want detailed macro tracking, custom meal plans, and an ad-free experience. For basic calorie counting, the free version is sufficient.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Largest food database (14 million items) | Premium is pricey for a nutrition app at £9.99/month |
| Free tier covers basic calorie tracking | Barcode scanner accuracy varies |
| Integrates with most fitness apps and devices | Interface has become cluttered with ads (free tier) |
| Annual plan is good value at £49.99/year | Some community features removed in recent updates |
| Barcode scanner for quick food logging | Data export locked behind Premium |
The free tier competes well against other nutrition apps. Premium is most valuable for serious dieters tracking macros. Strava at £6.99/month serves a different need (activity tracking). The combination of MyFitnessPal (nutrition) + Strava (activity) covers both sides of fitness tracking.
