On the Web / Desktop

1

Go to https://www.myfitnesspal.com and log in to your account. Ensure you are logged into the account you wish to cancel.

2

Click on 'My Home' 🏠 in the top navigation bar, then select 'Settings' ⚙️ from the dropdown menu.

3

On the Settings page, look for and click on 'Subscription Settings' 💳. This will take you to your premium subscription management page.

4

You will see details about your current Premium subscription. Click on the 'Manage Subscription' or 'Cancel Premium' button. *Warning: MyFitnessPal may present an offer to pause your subscription or offer a discount to retain you. Carefully navigate past these offers by looking for options like 'No thanks, continue to cancel' or similar text.*

5

Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation. You may be asked to provide a reason for cancelling. Select an option or provide feedback, then finalize the cancellation process. Look for a final confirmation button.

6

You should receive an email confirmation of your cancellation. Keep this email for your records. If you do not receive one, check your spam folder or contact MyFitnessPal support.

Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling MyFitnessPal?

Upon successful cancellation, your MyFitnessPal Premium subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel a monthly subscription mid-month, you will retain Premium features until the end of that month. You will not be billed again once the current period concludes. Your account will automatically revert to a free, basic MyFitnessPal account, and all your historical data (food logs, exercise, weight, etc.) will remain accessible within the free version.

Alternative Solutions

MyFitnessPal Alternatives Worth Considering

Consider downgrading to the free version of MyFitnessPal if you only need basic tracking. It still offers extensive food databases and exercise logging. Alternatively, if you're looking for a different approach, 'Lose It!' offers a similar food and exercise tracking experience with a slightly different user interface and pricing structure. For those focused more on habit building and less on calorie counting, apps like 'HealthifyMe' or 'Noom' provide coaching and behavioral science-based approaches, though they can be more expensive than MyFitnessPal.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

  • Verify your subscription type: Ensure you know whether you are on a monthly or annual plan, as this affects the final billing period.
  • Check for remaining free trial days: If you are within the 30-day free trial period, canceling will simply prevent you from being charged. You will lose Premium access immediately upon cancellation.
  • Understand data retention: While your Premium features will cease, your logged food, exercise, and progress data typically remain associated with your free MyFitnessPal account.
  • Confirm billing source: If you subscribed through a third-party (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store), you must cancel directly through that platform. This guide applies to subscriptions purchased directly via the MyFitnessPal website.
