MyFitnessPal Introduces AI-Powered Meal Planning

MyFitnessPal is stepping into the future with AI-driven meal planning, aiming to simplify dietary management for its users.

MyFitnessPal, that go-to app for keeping tabs on what you eat, is stepping into the future with an AI-powered meal planning feature. Yeah, you heard that right—AI is now going to help you figure out what’s for dinner. This cool update comes hot on the heels of snapping up a startup called Intent, which means the app can now whip up meal plans that actually get you. Think personalized to your goals, what you like to eat, and even how lazy (or not) you’re feeling on a given day, all thanks to the data you’ve already fed it and a few quick surveys.

But wait, there’s more. This isn’t just about telling you to eat your greens. The AI meal planner goes the extra mile by sorting out your grocery list or even ordering your groceries for you. Because let’s face it, who hasn’t stared into the fridge wondering what to cook? Now, the app’s got your back from craving to cooking, making the whole process a breeze.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—can AI really get my taste buds? There might be a few hiccups (ever heard of peanut butter and pickle sandwiches? No? Just me?), but MyFitnessPal is betting you’ll love it. They’re so confident, they’ve set up a waitlist for the brave souls ready to dive in. Launching this spring in places like the US, UK, and down under in Australia and New Zealand, this feature is part of a shiny new ‘Premium+’ subscription. At $99.99 a year, it’s not exactly pocket change, but hey, maybe it’s worth not having to decide what’s for dinner ever again.
