My Fitness Pal has various features which aim to guide users through the struggles on proper diet in accordance with exercise. The home page of the app offers health articles which are relevant to the goals the individual has set, consisting of diet related articles like recipes and health tips, to exercise articles with routines and programs.

By monitoring food eaten, the diary section of the app allows the user to track their daily calorie intake. Suggestions are then given as to which foods are most appropriate dependent on the meal and progress of the user. Users are able to scan foods using the in app barcode scanner which then automatically tabulates it.

Tracking your own progress is one of the greatest incentives to want to succeed, and being able to pair your progress with stand-alone health and fitness devices like the FitBit enables the user to properly monitor development.
