Yes! If you're looking for a free calorie counter app, you're in the right place. Simply sign up for your free account here and start tracking your food.

The MyFitnessPal app does a lot more than track calories in foods. You can also track macros, vitamins, and other micronutrients and see how everything you eat supports your goals.

Want to level up your goals? Upgrade to Premium! Unlock MyFitnessPal's best tools (like Barcode Scan, Intermittent Fasting, and Custom Macro Goals).

If you've never upgraded to MyFitnessPal Premium or never started a Premium trial before, you are eligible for a 1-month free trial. Start your free trial now.

The first Premium subscription charge on your credit card will be after the trial. Once the trial ends, your subscription will auto-renew unless you cancel. If you purchased a monthly subscription, you will be charged every month. If you purchased an annual subscription, you will be charged every year.

You may cancel your recurring subscription at any time. Cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal date to avoid being charged for the upcoming billing cycle. When you cancel, you are canceling the next billing charge—Premium features will remain available to you until the end of your current paid subscription period, regardless of when you cancel the automatic renewal.

If you want to know how many calories are in the foods you eat, or how many calories you eat each day, the MyFitnessPal app makes it easy.

Sign up for a free account and download the app. Then you can quickly look up calories and nutrients for any food AND track it all to see the impact of food on your health and fitness goals.

Free members can do a simple food search from their app's home screen. Premium members have access to other time-saving tools that allow you to scan a barcode or individual foods with your phone's camera to instantly identify the best match. Learn more about Premium and try it free.

However you choose to look up calories for foods, MyFitnessPal gives you access to over 18 million global foods in one of the world's largest food databases — including fresh foods, packaged goods, restaurant items, and even foods and recipes you save yourself.

MyFitnessPal isn't just a calorie tracking app. We're a macro tracking app, a micronutrient tracking app, and a water tracking app — all in one! (Not to mention the other goals you can track, including weight, exercise, steps, and intermittent fasting.)

Simply log the foods you eat using one of our easy food tracking tools, and we'll show you a complete nutritional breakdown for each food, meal, day, and even week. Any way you want to look at your data, you'll gain a better understanding of your personal nutrition so you can make smart choices that align with your weight, health, and fitness goals.

Yes, MyFitnessPal uses a BMR calculator to help you set calorie goals. During signup, you'll be asked questions about your height, weight, age, and sex to estimate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). You can also estimate your own BMR with our BMR calculator.

The equation used to calculate BMR is called the Mifflin St. Jeor equation* and it takes into account your typical activity level during the day to calculate your daily calorie needs. Depending on your weight goals, we either add or subtract calories from your daily calorie needs (500 calories per pound of weight change per week desired).

To help you set safe weight goals during signup, we use a BMI calculator. BMI is based on the ratio of your weight to your height, and we don't allow you to set weight goals below a certain ratio.

*The Mifflin St. Jeor equation is considered to be the best estimation of calorie needs compared to other equations, being able to get within 10% of your actual energy needs on average.

Yes! The best thing about MyFitnessPal is that it's an all-in-one app. You don't need a separate intermittent fasting app, or different apps for water tracking, weight tracking, or fitness tracking.

All MyFitnessPal members can track their weight goals, exercise, and water intake alongside calories and nutrition. MyFitnessPal Premium members have many additional features, including our NEW Intermittent Fasting Tracker. Learn more about Premium and try it free.

If you do use other apps and fitness devices as part of your overall health and wellness goals, more than 35 apps and fitness devices connect to MyFitnessPal. Automatically sync your steps, calorie burn, weight, and even sleep! Connect to Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung Health, Google Fit, Health Connect, smart scales, and many more.
