Cronometer vs MyFitnessPal — which wins in 2026?

Cronometer wins on micronutrients and database quality. MyFitnessPal has the breadth, but much of its data is user-submitted and inconsistent.

Cronometer

7.2

For the micronutrient nerds.

Pros

  • Granular micronutrients
  • Scientific database
  • Great for special diets

Cons

  • Spreadsheet vibe
  • Steep learning curve

MyFitnessPal

8.0

The world's largest food database.

Pros

  • Massive database
  • Community recipes
  • Strong macro tracking

Cons

  • Dated UI
  • Many features paywalled

Choose Cronometer if…

Choose Cronometer if you need granular micronutrient data (magnesium, B12, iron) and aren't scared of a spreadsheet.

Choose MyFitnessPal if…

Choose MyFitnessPal if you want to track every gram and need the world's largest food database — and can live with a dated UI.

If you genuinely care about B12, iron and magnesium, Cronometer is the obvious pick. For daily use with a Swedish angle we still recommend Nutraware.
