MyFitnessPal Calorie Counter

MyFitnessPal is a globally recognized health and fitness application that allows users to track their caloric intake and physical activity. Originally founded in 2005 by Mike Lee and Albert Lee in the United States, it has grown into one of the most popular digital tools for diet and exercise management.

Over the years, the brand has seen several high-profile ownership changes. In 2015, it was acquired by the sports apparel giant Under Armour. However, in 2020, Francisco Partners, a private equity firm, acquired the platform to operate it as a standalone business. Most recently, as of late 2025 and moving into 2026, MyFitnessPal has expanded its technological footprint through strategic acquisitions, such as the photo-based calorie tracking startup Cal AI, further solidifying its presence in the AI-driven health tech market. The app is maintained and developed primarily in the United States, though it serves a global audience with localized food databases for countries like Denmark.
