New AI-powered guidance gets personal, helping members move beyond the food log to know what to do next at every step of their health journey
NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MyFitnessPal, the #1 global nutrition and food tracking app, today announced its 2026 Summer Release. Many health goals start with food. This release gives members personalized guidance on what to eat next, tailored to their individual health journey, from AI-powered coaching to support built around specific health needs.
Guidance That Tells You What To Do Next
AI Coach gives Premium and Premium+ iOS members personalized nutrition guidance grounded in their own logging history and built on MyFitnessPal’s own twenty years of nutrition and food data. Ask what to eat and get a specific answer, down to the food and portion, right when members need it. Wondering what to order at dinner, how to hit their protein target, or what to grab before a workout, AI Coach suggests exactly what to eat and how much. Members can also plan ahead, from mapping out meals for the week to navigating travel or social events, and get clear next steps grounded in evidence-based nutrition science, turning every log into something they can act on.
The Plan Tab answers the question members ask every day: What should I eat next? All members can browse recipes filtered by their goal, revisit saved meals without searching, and log a recipe straight from the tab with one tap.
A Health Journey That Adapts To You
GLP-1 Support gives members in the US and Canada a single place to track medication, meals, and side effects together, with customizable reminders that keep dosing on schedule. iOS members can see data visualizations that surface patterns across their logs, providing them with a clearer picture of what is working for them. No two GLP-1 journeys look the same, and GLP-1 Support is built to support habits that last well beyond the first few weeks.
The Progress Tab gives all members a look at what a week of logging adds up to, seeing how their calories track against their goal, how their weight moves over time, and how their protein, carbs, and fat line up with their targets. Premium and Premium+ members also get tips and suggestions based on their own logging, like how to close a gap on protein or get closer to their carb target. This supports members in spotting where they’re doing well without digging through individual diary entries, and staying motivated as their progress builds week after week.
“For years the industry treated nutrition guidance as one size fits all, but health tech is shifting from general advice to personalized guidance. Making that shift real takes more than good intentions, it takes data at a scale most companies simply do not have. MyFitnessPal has twenty years of nutrition expertise, and that’s what makes real personalization possible,” says Tim Holley, MyFitnessPal Chief Product Officer. “Our role is to give people clarity and confidence in their own decisions, grounded in their actual history. That is what personalized nutrition guidance means, and it’s what MyFitnessPal is built to deliver.”
MyFitnessPal offers Free, Premium ($79.99/year) and Premium+ ($99.99/year) tiers. For more information on MyFitnessPal, visit www.myfitnesspal.com or download the app via the App Store or Google Play.
