A MyFitnessPal alternative for food and training in one app

MyFitnessPal is a calorie counter with iOS, Android, and web apps and a large food database. DailyGoal is a smaller iPhone and web app that keeps food logging, strength workouts, and weight trends in one place, with barcode scanning on the free plan. Here is how the two compare on published facts.

Written by the DailyGoal team, so we are not neutral. Every statement about MyFitnessPal below comes from MyFitnessPal's own website or app listing, links to that page, and shows the date we checked it. Prices and features change; check the source before you decide.

Who MyFitnessPal suits better

  • You use Android, or you want to log from a watch.
  • You eat out often and want restaurant dishes in the database.
  • You want meal plans, recipes, and grocery lists in the same app.
  • You track fasting windows or GLP-1 doses next to your food.
  • Your watch or scale already syncs with it, for example through Garmin Connect.

Who DailyGoal suits

DailyGoal is for people who want nutrition and strength training in one iPhone app. Food search, barcode scanning, and calorie and macro targets are free. Pro adds workout logging in the same app, and finished workouts are saved to Apple Health.

The Progress screen shows weight, body fat, and steps as smoothed trends, so one heavy weigh-in does not hide the direction. The same account works in a browser.
