MyFitnessPal announced it has acquired Cal AI, a fast-growing AI-powered nutrition tracking app, in a move aimed at strengthening its position in the digital nutrition and health tracking market. The transaction brings together two complementary platforms focused on helping users manage nutrition, fitness, and overall health.
The acquisition follows a series of strategic investments by MyFitnessPal as it continues to expand its digital health ecosystem. The company recently acquired the meal planning app Intent and integrated its platform with ChatGPT Health earlier this year.
Founded in 2005, MyFitnessPal operates one of the largest nutrition and food tracking platforms globally, serving more than 280 million members across more than 120 countries. The company provides users with tools to track food consumption, monitor exercise, log weight changes, and build personalized nutrition plans supported by a database of more than 20 million foods and over 2,000 recipes.
Cal AI was built with an AI-first approach designed to make nutrition tracking easier and more accessible, particularly for users focused on fitness performance. The platform emphasizes intuitive tracking and a simplified experience for individuals entering the world of nutrition management.
By acquiring Cal AI, MyFitnessPal aims to broaden its product portfolio and address a wider range of consumer needs across the health and fitness spectrum. The company plans to continue investing in Cal AI’s product development and marketing, while allowing the app to operate as a standalone platform within its broader ecosystem.
Cal AI will maintain its focus on performance-oriented users while complementing MyFitnessPal’s core offerings centered on long-term health and weight management.
