Since ChatGPT launched in 2022, people have been asking for health advice and tips. Now MyFitnessPal is one of the first nutrition apps in the ChatGPT Health experience, making these conversations even more personalized to your nutritional habits. Get nutrition recommendations based on 20 years of nutritional data, a database of 20 million foods, and 2,000 recipes that are actually tailored to your specific goals and macros.
Ask “@myfitnesspal, give me a high-protein meal I can make in 30 minutes” and get real answers tailored to your needs. MyFitnessPal’s integration with ChatGPT is designed to make healthy nutrition decisions faster, easier and less overwhelming.
Why this really matters
Here’s the thing: Nutrition advice is everywhere, but personalized, evidence-based advice that fits your specific goals? That’s harder to get. And the last thing you need is to spend 20 minutes researching, “What should I eat to lose weight?”
This integration breaks through that noise. Now you can have the same ChatGPT conversations you’re already having (about meal ideas, shopping lists, or what to eat before a workout) directly from MyFitnessPal’s 20 years of nutritional data and expertise. Get reliable answers in seconds, without switching apps or endless searching.
“One of the most common and meaningful ways to use ChatGPT today is for health and wellness information. By integrating trusted brands like MyFitnessPal into our app ecosystem in ChatGPT, we can make the user experience even more useful and personalized,” said Ashley Alexander, VP of Health Products, OpenAI.
How it works
It’s simple. Put @myfitnesspal in front of your nutrition questions in ChatGPT, such as: “@myfitnesspal What is a healthy dinner option?” or “@myfitnesspal Give me meals under 500 calories” and you can receive recommendations provided by MyFitnessPal tailored to your preferences.
Want recipes that avoid dairy? Completed. Need something that’s ready in 20 minutes? Filtered. Looking for dairy-free options? You got it.
When you share a goal with ChatGPT (e.g., lose weight, maintain weight, or build muscle), you’ll be asked to enter a few key metrics: age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. From there, you’ll get a daily calorie goal, a recommended macro breakdown, and recipe ideas that align with those numbers. It’s like having a nutrition assistant who actually understands what you’re trying to do.
The overall picture: Perceiving nutrition as less strenuous
MyFitnessPal has always been about eliminating friction with healthy eating. AI-powered features like voice logging and photo food recognition already save you time tracking meals within the app. This ChatGPT integration takes that philosophy one step further: it meets you where you already are, in the conversations you’re already having.
What this means for your goals
Nearly a million people achieve their goals with MyFitnessPal every year. This integration is designed to help more people achieve their goals by making choosing the right foods easier to find, easier to customize and quicker to implement.
Whether you’re prepping your meals for the week, thinking about what to order at a restaurant, or just trying to hit your protein goal without thinking too much about it, this provides you with structured, personalized guidance in real time. You will receive clear answers that will help you without having to question every decision.
Available January 7, 2026, it represents another way MyFitnessPal leverages technology to support actual habits.
Frequently asked questions
Will this replace the MyFitnessPal app?
Not at all. This integration is intended to complement the app by giving you quick, conversational access to nutrition advice when you’re probably already asking questions. For nutrition tracking, meal planning, and community features, the MyFitnessPal app remains your home base.
Is the nutritional advice reliable?
Yes. Our recommendations are based on the 20-year MyFitnessPal database of over 20 million foods, 2,000 recipes and science-based nutritional expertise. This is not general advice; It is based on real data and evidence-based guidelines.
Can I filter recipes by allergies or dietary preferences?
Absolutely. You can request recipes based on a nutritional approach (e.g. plant-based, high-protein, or low-carb), exclude certain allergens or ingredients you don’t like, and filter by cooking time to fit your schedule.
When can I log meals in ChatGPT?
This feature is not available, but in future releases you may be able to connect your MyFitnessPal account and log meals in natural language directly in ChatGPT.
The conclusion
This integration makes personalized nutritional advice as easy as asking a question. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, hit specific macros, or just figure out what’s for dinner, MyFitnessPal + ChatGPT gives you evidence-based answers that actually fit your life, without any additional effort required.
