Peptide & protocol tracking
BPC-157 cycles, GLP-1 doses, supplement schedules, peptide compound libraries — first-class data types in Bodydex. MyFitnessPal has no equivalent because it isn't built for that audience.

Bodydex vs MyFitnessPal
A factual side-by-side from the makers of Bodydex. Updated April 2026.
The short answer
Bodydex is an AI-first nutrition tracker with peptide and protocol tracking built in, on-device data storage, and no ads. MyFitnessPal has the largest user-contributed food database in the category and is the long-standing default. If you want AI photo logging, free macros, and protocol tracking on iOS, Bodydex is a strong fit. If you need an unmatched food database and Android right now, MyFitnessPal is still the safer pick.

Where Bodydex is genuinely different
AI scanning that handles a full plate
Bodydex identifies multiple foods in one photo and lets you correct any item before logging. MyFitnessPal's Meal Scan is single-item and Premium-gated.
Local-first data
Your food logs, weight history, recipes, and protocols live on your iPhone. There is no Bodydex server holding a database of what you ate this morning.
Macros are free
Custom protein, carb, and fat goals are part of the free tier. MyFitnessPal moves these behind their $19.99/month Premium plan.
Where MyFitnessPal still wins
- Food database breadth. Fifteen-plus years of user contributions — chain restaurant items, regional brands, and obscure foods are typically already in there.
- Android. MyFitnessPal ships on both platforms today. Bodydex Android is in development.
- Community & forums. An established weight-loss community is part of the MyFitnessPal experience.
- Barcode database depth. Some packaged foods scan in MyFitnessPal that don't yet exist in our combined FatSecret + USDA + Open Food Facts source.
FAQ
Is Bodydex a replacement for MyFitnessPal?
It depends on what you use MyFitnessPal for. If macro tracking, AI photo logging, and peptide / supplement protocols matter to you and you're on iPhone, Bodydex covers those use cases on the free tier where MyFitnessPal puts macros behind a $19.99/mo Premium gate. If you rely on MyFitnessPal's user-contributed food database for obscure restaurant items or you're on Android right now, MyFitnessPal still has the larger catalog and ships on both platforms.
Does Bodydex cost less than MyFitnessPal Premium?
Bodydex Premium is $9.99/month versus MyFitnessPal Premium at $19.99/month — roughly half the price. Many features that require Premium in MyFitnessPal (custom macro goals, basic macro display) are free in Bodydex.
Can I import my MyFitnessPal data into Bodydex?
Direct import isn't available today. MyFitnessPal lets you export your food log as CSV from their website; we're evaluating a native importer for that format. If this matters to you, email [email protected] and we'll prioritize based on demand.
Why is Bodydex iOS only right now?
We're a small team. iOS launched April 2026; Android is in active development with a target of mid-2026. We'd rather ship a polished Android experience late than a half-finished one early.
Is my data private with Bodydex?
All your food logs, weight, recipes, and protocol data are stored locally on your iPhone — there is no centralized Bodydex database of user food entries. AI scanning sends the photo for analysis and discards it immediately; we never sell or share your data.
