Mealyno vs MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is a food and exercise logger that syncs with more than 35 apps and devices. Mealyno is a meal planner first, with a diary and photo logging attached. They overlap on logging and differ on what they start from: MyFitnessPal starts from what you ate, Mealyno starts from what you will eat.

Where MyFitnessPal is better
If your main job is logging what you eat and tying it to activity, MyFitnessPal is ahead in these ways.
Device and app integrations
More than 35 apps and fitness devices connect, so steps, calorie burn, weight and sleep can sync automatically. Mealyno has none of these connections.

Where Mealyno fits better
It starts from the plan
Mealyno generates weekly meal plans and a shopping list from your goals and preferences. MyFitnessPal's Premium page describes logging, macros and insights, and it does not list a meal-plan generator.

Protein sized and shown per meal
The free protein calculator gives a daily range and a per-meal split, and example plans show protein per meal, so a protein target becomes something you can eat.

A trial with no card

What we did not verify
These points are left out of the table because the public pages did not confirm them.
- The size or accuracy of MyFitnessPal's food database: not stated on the page we read, so no comparison is made.
- Whether it offers meal plans elsewhere in the app: we only report that its Premium page does not list one.
- Anything inside its logged-in app: we compare public pages only.
