MyFitnessPal launches app in ChatGPT health experience
The app's nutrition data and recipes are now available inside ChatGPT's Health experience and across the platform.
MyFitnessPal launched an integration that places its app inside ChatGPT’s new Health experience and across the platform, enabling users to access its nutrition insights and recipes directly through ChatGPT.
The company said in a statement the feature draws on MyFitnessPal’s 20 years of science-backed expertise, a database of more than 20 million foods and 2,000 recipes, and that the platform’s 800 million weekly users can now receive recipe ideas, macro and protein guidance, and weight-management support.
ChatGPT users can ask everyday questions like “What’s a healthy dinner option?” or “Give me high protein meals” and receive tailored recipes, macro recommendations and calorie targets. Users can filter suggestions by dietary approach, allergens, dislikes and cook time. “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.

MyFitnessPal said nearly one million people reach their goals with the app each year and that the integration is the first step in a broader strategy to bring its nutrition intelligence into AI platforms. “From AI-powered voice logging to identifying foods from a picture of your plate, we’ve consistently invested in technology that makes tracking your nutrition easier,” said Mike Fisher, Chief Executive Officer at MyFitnessPal. “This integration with OpenAI is just the beginning. By combining MyFitnessPal’s data and expertise with emerging AI platforms, we’re building the most intuitive, goal-driven nutrition experience yet—one that amplifies human judgment instead of replacing it, and helps people build healthy habits that truly stick.”
The company said future iterations could allow users to connect their MyFitnessPal account to ChatGPT and log meals using natural language, and that users can download the MyFitnessPal app via the App Store or Google Play for more information.
