MyFitnessPal alternative for GLP-1 users

    Short answer

    MyFitnessPal is a general calorie and macro tracker with a very large food database, and it has added basic GLP-1 logging in the US. Pep AI is the alternative if the medication is the center of your routine: doses, levels, injection sites, side effects and vials, with food logging on the same timeline. Both have paid tiers.

    Plenty of people start a GLP-1 already using MyFitnessPal, and it is a reasonable place to keep counting food. The question is whether a calorie counter is still the right hub once a weekly shot, side effects and a changing appetite are part of the day. This page compares the two on that question, using each company's own descriptions.

    MyFitnessPal at a glance

    MyFitnessPal ("MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter") is one of the most widely used nutrition apps, rated 4.7 from 2,366,655 ratings on the US App Store, available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, Wear OS and the web. Its listing describes a database of more than 20.5 million foods, macro, fiber, sodium and water tracking, workouts and steps, intermittent fasting, an AI nutrition coach and a community.

    It has a free tier and a Premium subscription. Its website lists Premium at $79.99 a year or $19.99 a month with a seven-day free trial for new users, and groups barcode scanning, meal scan and voice logging under Premium.

    In April 2026 MyFitnessPal added GLP-1 Support. Its help center describes logging the brand, dose in milligrams, time and injection location, a GLP-1 reminder, and side-effect tracking with severity, available to users in the United States and in Canada on iOS with the app set to English, and built for GLP-1 dosing only rather than other medications or supplements.

    Who each one suits

    This is less a head-to-head than a question of which app should be the center of your routine.

    When should you stay with MyFitnessPal?

    If food logging is what you care about most and you value the size of its database, its device connections and its community. Its GLP-1 Support adds a basic dose log, reminder and side-effect tracking in the regions it covers.

    When is Pep AI the better choice?

    If the medication is the center of your day. Pep AI charts an estimated level from your own dose history, rotates injection sites, tracks side effects symptom by symptom, handles vials and reconstitution math for anything you mix, and supports peptides as well as GLP-1s, with food logging by photo, barcode, menu scan or search on the same timeline.

    Can you use both?

    Yes, and some people do: food in one app, medication in another. The cost is that your meals and your doses live on separate timelines, which makes it harder to see how eating and symptoms move around shot day. Pep AI's reason to exist is putting those on one timeline.
