# Looking for a MyFitnessPal alternative?

Source: https://nume.co.in/compare/myfitnesspal/ · Checked on 12 November 2026

MyFitnessPal, which calls itself the world's number one nutrition tracking app, is built around a database of more than 20 million foods and a diary of what you ate. Nume starts from a plan. It sets your meals at your own eating times and your workouts on the days you can train, takes the log as a tap, a sentence or a photo, and changes the rest of the plan from what happened.

## What Nume does

Nume is an AI meal and workout planner. It plans your meals at your own eating times, in dishes from the cuisines you eat, with energy and protein on each. Eating a planned meal is one tap, and anything else is a sentence or a photo that Nume splits into parts you can correct. When a meal runs over or under its plan, the rest of the day changes and says why. [How Nume works](/how-it-works/) has the full picture.

## What MyFitnessPal does well

Its food database is its best-known strength: more than 20 million foods, including restaurant dishes, with calories, macros and micronutrients. Logging food, weight and exercise is free, and it syncs with more than 40 apps and devices. Premium adds Barcode Scan, Meal Scan from a photo, Voice Log and custom macro goals.

In 2026 it added AI Coach for Premium and Premium+ members. You ask what to eat next, or for a week of meals, and it answers from your own logging history. For a detailed record of what you eat, MyFitnessPal is thorough.

## Where Nume is different

### The day starts from a plan

MyFitnessPal starts from a diary of what you chose to eat. Its Plan tab offers recipes for your goal, Premium+ adds personalised meal plans, and AI Coach maps out meals when you ask. Nume starts every day from a plan. Each night it plans the next day, so the coming seven days are always laid out, in dishes you already cook and order.

### Logging is a tap against the plan

MyFitnessPal gives you many ways to log: search, scan a barcode, photograph the meal, say it, or log a saved recipe in one tap. In Nume the meal is already on your plan, so eating it as planned is one tap. Anything else is a sentence or a photo, saved straight away while Nume works out the parts and amounts.

### The plan moves when your day does

MyFitnessPal's AI Coach answers questions such as what to order at dinner, and Premium members get tips based on their own logging. Nume changes the plan itself. If lunch was a heavy biryani, dinner becomes grilled fish with rice and salad, marked "Lighter after a heavier lunch". Tomorrow stays as it was.

### Food and training are one plan

MyFitnessPal records workouts and steps, from your entries or a connected app, and counts the calories burned. Nume plans the two together. It writes workouts with sets, reps and rest to follow step by step, and plans food around them and around the sport or walks you already do.

## Moving to Nume

Set-up is seven short screens, and your first plan arrives in about a minute. The goal can be to lose body fat, maintain, build muscle or perform better.

If you already follow a plan from a coach, a dietitian or another app, paste it into Talk or send up to four photos of it. Nume shows what it read on one card, and once you confirm, sets up your week from it.
