Daizu vs MyFitnessPal: which should you choose in 2026?
Daizu and MyFitnessPal solve two different problems in 2026: Daizu builds a custom nutrition program with groceries and photo scanning, while MyFitnessPal remains the reference food diary with 14 million foods on file. Choose MyFitnessPal for a massive product database and 50+ sports integrations; choose Daizu so you no longer have to decide what to cook or log every meal by hand.

Ce que Daizu fait mieux
- A nutrition program generated from your profile — you no longer log every meal by hand or search a database of 14 million entries.
- An automatic grocery list sorted by aisle and a step-by-step cooking mode, included from the base subscription (no Premium+ tier).
- Calories for program meals calculated from the recipe; photo scan covers unplanned meals (200/day).
- Data hosted in the EU, with no ads — a 100% subscription model, with no resale of data.
Ce que MyFitnessPal fait mieux
- A food database of 14 million entries — unmatched for packaged products, barcodes, and restaurants.
- Native integration with 50+ fitness apps (Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Strava, and more).
- A usable free version (with ads) and a 30-day Premium trial — the longest in the category.
- Premium+ (€99.99/year) has added an AI meal planner and 1,500+ recipes since 2025.
Lequel choisir si…
An athlete with 3 years of MFP history and a connected watch
→ MyFitnessPal
The Garmin/Strava ecosystem and calorie history are reason enough to stay on MFP. Daizu does not replace that sports-tracking layer plus product database.
Someone who wants to lose weight without logging 4 meals a day
→ Daizu
Daizu generates the menu, calculates calories from the recipe, and scans unplanned meals. Day-to-day friction is much lower than a manual diary.
Someone who mostly eats packaged products or at restaurants
→ MyFitnessPal
The depth of the MFP database (14 million foods) is still better for logging meals that are not cooked at home.
