MyFitnessPal is adding a new AI-powered coaching experience that turns users’ food logs, goals, meals, and habits into personalized nutrition guidance. Here are the details.

MyFitnessPal adds AI-powered nutrition coaching

A few days ago, MyFitnessPal added a new Coach tab to its app, offering access to the platform’s new AI-powered Coach.

MyFitnessPal says the app’s new AI-powered Coach was “built on over 20 years of nutritional expertise and one of the world’s largest food databases,” and is designed to turn users’ logged meals, goals, and habits into more personalized and actionable nutrition guidance.

According to MyFitnessPal, once users start talking to the platform’s Coach, it will offer “immediate guidance, including:”

  • Hyper-Personalized Insights: Contextual analysis of how specific meals or macro trends impact specific long-term goals.
  • Actionable and Timely Suggestions: Immediate suggestions for food swaps, recipes, portion adjustments, or meal pairings. Whether you’re out to dinner and want the top recommendation on the menu for your goals, traveling and need help navigating on-the-go food choices, or meal prepping and want to understand a cost effective protein-rich alternative to ground beef.
  • Feature Navigation: Guidance on how to maximize MyFitnessPal’s existing tools and features to reach your goals.

The company says that rather than relying on generic nutrition advice, Coach grounds its responses in MyFitnessPal’s nutrition expertise and the user’s own logged data to provide more precise, actionable guidance.

Here’s Melissa Jaeger, RD, LD, Head of Nutrition at MyFitnessPal, on the new feature:

“As dietitians, we know that nutrition information without context can be confusing to interpret and act on. […] AI Coach acts as a real-time translator. It looks at what you ate for breakfast that morning, takes into account your goals, and gives you meaningful feedback that makes the act of logging food not only worthwhile but insightful.”

MyFitnessPal’s new AI Coach is available to Premium and Premium+ subscribers in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
