Comparison
HereForIt vs MyFitnessPal
A calorie counter was not built for a weekly injection that changes your appetite.
MyFitnessPal is the best-known food diary there is, and its food database is enormous. If your goal is counting calories and macros, it does that job well. Its free tier covers nutrition, weight, and exercise tracking, and Premium is $19.99 a month or $79.99 a year.
But MyFitnessPal was built for people whose appetite is steady. On a GLP-1, it is not. Food that sounded good last week is repulsive today, you are trying to hit a protein target on half an appetite, and nausea shows up on a schedule. MyFitnessPal has nothing to say about any of that — its own Premium page never mentions GLP-1 medications at all.

Which one fits you
MyFitnessPal is the better pick if…
- Your main goal is calorie and macro counting, and you are not on a GLP-1
- You need the largest possible food database, including obscure restaurant items
- You already have a years-long MyFitnessPal history you do not want to leave
HereForIt is the better pick if…
- You are on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or another GLP-1
- Your appetite, energy, and digestion change across the week and you want tracking that expects that
- You want to log side effects next to your meals and see how they connect
- You want protein guidance for a small appetite, not a calorie budget you cannot fill
- You want a one-page summary of symptoms and progress for your next appointment
Common questions
Can I use MyFitnessPal on a GLP-1?
You can, and many people do. It will count your calories and macros. What it will not do is track your injections, your side effects, or connect either one to where you are in your medication week, because it was not designed for that.
What does HereForIt do that MyFitnessPal does not?
Injection and dose logging with site rotation, dedicated GLP-1 side effect tracking, cycle-aware insights, a provider summary card for doctor visits, and Ember, an AI companion that reads your tracking history and knows your medication and dose.
Is HereForIt cheaper than MyFitnessPal Premium?
Yes on the monthly plan. HereForIt Pro is $9.99 a month versus MyFitnessPal Premium at $19.99 a month. Both charge $79.99 for a year. HereForIt also has a free tier with no time limit, and Pro includes a 7-day free trial.
Do I have to give up calorie tracking?
No. HereForIt logs meals, calories, and protein. The difference is that it reads those numbers in the context of your injection cycle rather than as a flat daily budget.
Does HereForIt work in a browser?
Yes. HereForIt runs on iPhone, Android, and the web, so you can try it without installing an app.
