Ever since ChatGPT hit the scene in 2022, people have been asking it 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. You get nutritional recommendations backed by 20 years of nutritional data, a database of 20 million foods and 2,000 recipes that actually match 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 eating decisions faster, easier and far less overwhelming.
Why this actually matters
Here’s the thing: Nutrition advice is everywhere, but personalized, evidence-based guidance that fits your specific goals? It’s harder to get to. And the last thing you need is to spend 20 minutes researching “what should I eat to lose weight?”
This integration cuts through that noise. Now, the same ChatGPT conversations you’re already having (about meal ideas, grocery lists, or what to eat before a workout) can draw directly from MyFitnessPal’s 20 years of nutrition data and expertise. You get reliable answers in seconds without switching apps or endless searching.
“One of the most common and meaningful ways people use ChatGPT today is for health and wellness information. By bringing trusted brands like MyFitnessPal into our ecosystem of apps in ChatGPT, we’re able to 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’s a healthy dinner option?” or “@myfitnesspal Give me meals under 500 calories” and you can get MyFitnessPal-powered recommendations tailored to your preferences.
Want recipes that avoid dairy? Done. Do you need something ready in 20 minutes? Filtered. Looking for dairy-free options? You got it.
If you share a goal with ChatGPT (like lose weight, maintain weight, or build muscle), it will ask you for a few key measurements: age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. From there, you’ll get a daily calorie goal, a suggested macro breakdown, and recipe ideas that align with those numbers. It’s like having a nutritional assistant that actually gets what you’re trying to do.
The Bigger Picture: Make Nutrition Feel Less Hard
MyFitnessPal has always been about taking the friction out of healthy eating. AI-powered features like voice logging and photo recognition of food already save you time tracking meals in the app. This ChatGPT integration takes this philosophy a step further: it meets you where you already are, in the conversations you already have.
What this means for your goals
Nearly a million people reach their goals with MyFitnessPal each year. This integration is designed to help even more people get there by making the right food choices easier to find, easier to customize and faster to act on.
Whether you’re cooking for the week, figuring out what to order at a restaurant, or just trying to hit your protein goal without overthinking it, this gives you structured, personalized real-time guidance. You get clear answers that help you move forward without second-guessing every decision.
Available from January 7, 2026, it’s yet another way MyFitnessPal uses technology to support habits that actually stick.
