You can also track type and amount of exercise and record your weight. You can search for the food and drink consumed, allocate an amount and link this to a main meal or snack. Additional features of the app allow for weight and exercise monitoring and analysis of energy intake distribution through the day, monitoring of limited micronutrients (sodium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron) and access to an online community. The primary aim of the app is to monitor energy intake and exercise output to help you achieve a range of nutrition, fitness and weight goals. The food database is compiled by both MyFitnessPal (based in America) and users (who live globally). MyFitnessPal is an app that allows users to record food consumed and monitor their food composition through a food database.
