The AI Meal Analysis is one of the most powerful tools inside FitMetrics—and it’s designed to replace MyFitnessPal completely.
In fact, we strongly recommend that you stop suggesting MyFitnessPal to your clients. Here’s why:
🚫 Why You Should Stop Using MyFitnessPal
It doesn't sync well with Trainerize.
Constant syncing issues make it unreliable and create unnecessary frustration for coaches and clients.Clients need to update macros manually.
Every time you update a client’s calorie/macro goal, they need to go into MyFitnessPal and update it manually themselves. Most forget.You don’t control the tool.
If your clients cancel your program, they still walk away with MyFitnessPal. But if you train them to use Trainerize + FitMetrics, they stay in your ecosystem—on your terms.
✅ What Makes AI Meal Analysis Better?
Instead of logging food manually or using food scales, your clients simply snap a picture of their meal.
The AI detects what’s in the photo
It calculates estimated calories and macros
Then it automatically syncs the data into Trainerize
It works for home-cooked meals, restaurant dishes, and even custom recipes that aren’t in any food database. No barcode needed.
⚠️ Important: It’s Not About Accuracy
This tool isn’t built for perfection—it’s built for progress.
Most clients hate counting calories. Before we added AI Meal Analysis in our coaching business (with 500+ active clients), only 3 out of 10 people were logging meals. After introducing this feature? 7 out of 10 started logging consistently.
That’s a 2x+ increase in compliance—and that’s the real win.
🎯 Use It to Drive Behavior Change
The real value is teaching your clients:
How to visually estimate calories/macros
How to be mindful of portion sizes
How to log consistently without feeling overwhelmed
And most importantly: how to stay inside your coaching ecosystem.
Final Tip:
Make sure this feature becomes a core part of your onboarding flow. Teach clients from day one: “Whenever you eat, just take a photo.”
