Eating right and getting enough exercise are key to good health – but so is empowering yourself with knowledge.

MyFitnessPal makes it easy to record what you eat and when you exercise so you can gain insights based on that data. Here are five ways the app can help you dial into positive daily routines:

MyFitnessPal’s workout videos meet you where you are in your fitness journey. Try a quick routine focused on functional movement and core strength or commit to full-body workouts sure to get your heart rate up. Don’t have access to gym equipment? There are plenty of options for body-weight and dumbbell-only routines.

When you log your workouts, MyFitnessPal adjusts your calorie tally for the day to account for what you’ve burned. To get moving, tap the More button and select Workout Routines.

Want to strengthen your core, transition towards a low-carb diet or strengthen your glutes and thighs? Try one of MyFitnessPal’s multi-week exercise and food plans.

Each day, you’ll get a few simple steps to take. They could include stocking your pantry with low-sugar snacks, reading up on the four food groups or jumping into specific exercises. Tap the More button, then select Plans to explore.

With nutritional details for more than 14 million foods, MyFitnessPal’s meal-tracking feature is one of its most impressive superpowers.

Logging a meal is lightning fast: search for a food by name, scan the barcode on the packaging or snap a photo. Thanks to computer-vision technology and artificial intelligence, MyFitnessPal is incredibly adept at figuring out what’s on your plate (or in your cup).

Recording what you eat is just the first step. The app analyses the foods you log to provide a real-time estimate of your caloric intake for the day.

You’ll see at a glance how close you are to hitting your calorie goals, as well as the amount of calories each meal contains. MyFitnessPal also estimates your nutrients, including fibre, fat, sugar, sodium and vitamins and minerals.

The app’s vast recipe library features healthy dishes vetted by registered dieticians. Peruse pre- or post-workout meals and snacks, high-protein options and gluten-free or low-sodium wonders.

Detailed nutritional info is at the top of every recipe, and there’s a handy button to log the dish to your food diary. Tap the More button, then select Recipe Discovery to browse the offerings.
