Screenshot your diary
Open MyFitnessPal, screenshot the days you want to keep. Partial and cut-off rows are fine — the AI handles them.
Not much of a pal. We'll be your buddy.
Everything MyFitnessPal charges for — free. Plus a one-step import that brings your diary with you. Pick up where you left off, not from zero.
Free forever on the things that matter. No credit card.
The whole point
Macros, logging, your workout program, the vibe checks that keep you honest — all free, forever. You only pay for conveniences like meal plans and grocery lists. That's the whole model.
Macros, food and workout logging, your training program, progress — the whole toolkit for hitting your goal, free forever. You only pay for conveniences like meal plans and grocery lists.
On MyFitnessPal, paywalls your macros at ~$80 a year.
Type “chicken bowl and a latte” and the AI does the macros. No barcode hunt, no forms, no friction — logging takes a sentence.
On MyFitnessPal, search, scan, tap, repeat.
Vibe checks track how you’re actually doing — sleep, energy, stress — so you can eat intuitively and still stay on track. Count when you want, coast when you don’t.
On MyFitnessPal, it’s calories, or nothing.
Pin your staples and they auto-log. If you eat the same breakfast or meal-prep the same lunch, your tracking runs on autopilot — a quiet superpower for weight tracking.
On MyFitnessPal, you re-log the same food every single day.
Share a pantry and swap recipes with a buddy group — up to five of you on the same foods and staples. Meal-prep together, stay accountable together.
On MyFitnessPal, you’re on your own.

Migration made painless
The biggest thing keeping people on MyFitnessPal isn’t the features — it’s the diary they’d have to leave behind. So we made switching a screenshot, not a chore. No manual re-entry.
Open MyFitnessPal, screenshot the days you want to keep. Partial and cut-off rows are fine — the AI handles them.
Upload your screenshots on the import screen. Our AI parses every entry into food logs with macros, dated correctly.
Glance over the parsed entries, tweak anything, and confirm. Your go-to foods are now in your search history and ready to reuse.
Screenshot import is live today. Full-history CSV import — for bringing over months of logs in one shot — is on the way. Most people just import their last week or two, since that’s the food rotation that matters most.
Import my diaryPricing, honestly
Not a crippled demo — the stuff that actually gets you results costs nothing. We charge for a handful of nice-to-haves, and that's it.

What members say
“Ditched MyFitnessPal after the update. Now I just type what I ate — 'chicken bowl and a latte' — and it's logged. No barcode scavenger hunt.”
“MFP's streak made me feel like garbage for missing a day. This one just doesn't. I've logged more in a month than my whole last year there.”
“I'm not paying eighty bucks a year to see my own protein. Free macros was the whole reason I moved over.”
“Two eggs, toast, black coffee — typed it, logged it, moved on. My brain doesn't have to work at 6am anymore.”
“Brought my whole diary over with a couple screenshots. Didn’t lose my history, didn’t start from zero.”
“First tracker that doesn't feel like a slot machine. No streak guilt, no ads yelling at me. Just the numbers.”
“It gives me an actual workout program too, not just a calorie log. Still can't believe that part's basically free.”
“The personalization is incredible. It's like having a trainer who really knows me.”

Straight answers
No. Screenshot the days of your MyFitnessPal diary you want to keep, upload them to baisics, and our AI parses each entry into your food log — no manual re-entry. Your recent history comes with you, and full-history CSV import is on the way.
Yes — everything core to your results is free forever: macro tracking (protein, carbs, and fat), food logging, workout logging, and progress. MyFitnessPal puts macros behind a roughly $80/year paywall; baisics never does. An optional Jacked plan ($5/month) adds conveniences like AI meal plans and carb cycling.
Today you can bring over any days you screenshot — the AI turns them into log entries in seconds. Full-history CSV import is coming. In practice most people import their last week or two, since that's the rotation of foods you actually eat and the fastest way to feel at home.
MyFitnessPal is a calorie tracker that later added workout logging; baisics is an AI training and nutrition coach. Macros are free, your streak counts showing up instead of resetting the moment you miss a day, daily vibe checks add sleep, stress, and energy context, and baisics builds your actual workout program. To be fair, MyFitnessPal still has a larger food database, a more mature barcode scanner, and native iOS and Android apps.
Bring your diary, keep your history, and never pay to see your own macros again.
