How to export your MyFitnessPal data
MyFitnessPal exports your data on its paid plan only: a ZIP of three CSV files, sent by email, with nutrition summarised by meal, your weigh-ins and your exercise. Free accounts can print a diary report from the website instead. Calori imports the CSV files, so your history comes with you.

How to export your MyFitnessPal data
Every MyFitnessPal export holds the same three files: nutrition details summarised by meal, your progress history (weight, neck, waist and hips) and your exercise history. You choose the date range, not the files.
The nutrition file lists the total for each meal rather than every food you logged, so expect one row per breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Recipes, saved meals and custom foods are not in the export; if you rely on a few favourite recipes, save them again in Calori, which imports a recipe from any link.
On iPhone
- Tap More (in the newer app, your profile picture at the top right) and choose Nutrition.
- Tap Export at the top right.
- Choose the date range and confirm the export.
- Open the email from MyFitnessPal and download the files.
On Android
- Tap More and open Progress or Nutrition.
- Tap the export icon at the top right and choose the file export.
- Check your email address, choose the date range and tap Export.
- Open the email from MyFitnessPal and download the files.
On the website
- Sign in at myfitnesspal.com and open Reports.
- Click Export and choose the date range.
- Download the files from the email MyFitnessPal sends you.
- On the free plan, open Food, choose View Full Report (Printable), pick the dates and save the page as a PDF.
Bring your MyFitnessPal history into Calori
- If the export arrives as a ZIP file, unzip it first. Calori reads CSV files, one file at a time.
- In the Calori app, open Settings → Export & Import Data and choose the Import tab.
- Tap Choose a file and pick the CSV. Calori works out the columns and shows a preview: how many entries, which days and which nutrients it found.
- Check the preview and confirm. Nothing is saved before you do, and importing the same file twice does not create duplicates.
Import the nutrition file first, then the progress file for your weigh-ins and measurements. The exercise file can stay on your computer.
Because MyFitnessPal exports meal totals, your history arrives as one entry per meal with its calories and macros, not as individual foods. The printable report is a PDF, so keep it as a record.
Calori imports food entries with their calories and nutrients, and body readings such as weight, body fat, waist, steps and sleep. Exercise and calories burned stay behind, and a PDF is a record to keep, not a file any app can read back.

Questions
Can I export MyFitnessPal data for free?
Not as a CSV file: the export belongs to the paid plan. A free account can save the printable diary report from the website as a PDF, or send a privacy access request through preferences.myfitnesspal.com.
Why does my MyFitnessPal export show meals instead of foods?
MyFitnessPal summarises nutrition by meal in its export. Each row is one meal on one day with its totals, which is what any app can import from it.
Does deleting MyFitnessPal cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app or the account does not stop an App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel it in the store first.
Can Calori import my MyFitnessPal history?
Yes. In the Calori app, open Settings → Export & Import Data → Import and choose the nutrition or progress CSV from the export. You see a preview before anything is saved.
