What does the app do?

MyFitnessPal is an app that allows users to record food consumed and monitor their food composition through a food database. The food database is compiled by both MyFitnessPal (based in America) and users (who live globally). The primary aim of the app is to monitor energy intake and exercise output to help you achieve a range of nutrition, fitness and weight goals. Additional features of the app allow for weight and exercise monitoring and analysis of energy intake distribution through the day, monitoring of limited micronutrients (sodium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron) and access to an online community.

You can search for the food and drink consumed, allocate an amount and link this to a main meal or snack. You can also track type and amount of exercise and record your weight.

Premium offers meal scanning and barcode scanning (which may/may not work in New Zealand), access to meal plans and workout plans, further analysis of foods contributing the most carbohydrate, protein and fat and ability to export data.
