If you cook from packaged ingredients and live by the barcode scanner, MFP's database depth is unmatched — some GLP AI users keep MFP for recipe math and GLP AI for the medication journey.
For everything the GLP-1 journey actually involves — doses, meals that earn their place, side effects that make sense, and answers at 2 AM — GLP AI is the stronger default. That's the whole pitch.

The core differences: a 0–100 GLP-1 Meal Score for every meal, a 24/7 AI coach grounded in your own logs, an estimated medication level chart, and side effects tracked beside dose days — the GLP-1-specific layer general tools don't have.
Honestly: the largest food database anywhere, with ubiquitous barcode coverage; recipe importing and a massive community. If those are your deciding factor, MyFitnessPal is a fine choice.
Yes — some people do. A common pattern: GLP AI for the GLP-1 journey (doses, Meal Score, symptoms, levels) and MyFitnessPal for its specialty. Most users find GLP AI covers the daily job on its own.
GLP AI's free plan covers core tracking; GLP AI Premium unlocks the full experience — the 24/7 AI coach, GLP-1 Meal Score, and medication level chart.
GLP AI keeps doses, symptoms, meals, and weight on one timeline, which is exactly what "how has it been going?" is asking for at an appointment.
Any GLP-1 — Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — wherever the prescription comes from.
For the GLP-1 journey, yes: MFP counts calories but has no concept of your medication. GLP AI scores meals for GLP-1 needs and places food beside doses, side effects, and estimated medication levels. MFP still wins on raw database size.
Yes — snap a photo or search, and protein, fiber, and water are tracked automatically. GLP AI's focus is the GLP-1 Meal Score, not exhaustive catalog depth; if you need every packaged product on earth, that's MFP's territory.
