What is the best MyFitnessPal alternative for GLP-1 users?
Shotsy. It is built specifically for GLP-1 treatment rather than adapted from a calorie counter: automatic injection site rotation, estimated medication level charts, progress charts by dose and by injection site, side effects on your dose timeline, and doctor-ready PDF exports. Core features are free, and Shotsy is rated 4.8 stars from 29,000+ App Store ratings.
Does MyFitnessPal track GLP-1 medications?
Yes. Since April 2026, MyFitnessPal's free GLP-1 Support lets you log your medication type, dose, and injection site, set dose reminders, and record side effects. What it does not advertise: estimated medication level charts, automatic injection site rotation, dose-coded weight charts, shot countdown widgets, or a PDF export of your medication history. Those are the gaps a dedicated GLP-1 tracker fills.
Can I use Shotsy and MyFitnessPal together?
Yes, and many people do. A common setup is MyFitnessPal for detailed food logging and Shotsy as the GLP-1 home base for shots, sites, side effects, and medication charts. Apple Health connects the two, so nutrition and weight data can flow between them.
Is Shotsy free like MyFitnessPal?
Both apps are free to download with real free tiers. MyFitnessPal keeps its best food tools behind Premium ($19.99 per month or $79.99 per year). Shotsy's core GLP-1 tracking is free with no time limit: shot logging, reminders, injection site rotation, side effect logging, weight tracking, and detailed progress charts. An optional Shotsy+ subscription adds the estimated medication level chart.
Is MyFitnessPal better for calorie and macro tracking?
For deep food logging, yes. MyFitnessPal's database covers more than 20 million foods, and its Premium tiers add barcode scanning, meal scanning, custom macros, and meal planning. Shotsy tracks calories, protein, and water simply, with Apple Health sync. If macros are the center of your journey, MyFitnessPal is the stronger food logger; if your GLP-1 medication is, Shotsy is the stronger tracker.
Does MyFitnessPal show estimated medication levels?
It does not advertise anything like that. Shotsy charts your estimated medication level between doses using published half-life data, and it can display multiple medications on one chart if you switch. The chart is an estimate for context, not a measurement, and never a substitute for your prescriber's guidance.
Does MyFitnessPal rotate injection sites?
MyFitnessPal lets you record which site you used with each dose, but it does not advertise rotation guidance. Shotsy rotates your chosen sites automatically, always knows which site is up next, and charts your progress by injection site, which helps prevent skin irritation from overusing one spot.
Can I export my GLP-1 history for my doctor?
In Shotsy, yes: a PDF report of your doses, side effects, and weight trends, ready for appointments. MyFitnessPal Premium offers progress report downloads for nutrition and weight, but it does not advertise a medication history export.
How do I switch from MyFitnessPal to Shotsy?
Download Shotsy, pick your medication and schedule, and log your first shot; setup takes about a minute. If you track weight in MyFitnessPal through Apple Health, Shotsy can pick it up from there. And you can keep using MyFitnessPal for food logging alongside Shotsy if you like it.
