MyFitnessPal Premium offers better diet and nutrition tracking

MyFitnessPal has kicked off a Premium subscription that gives users easier control and viewing of their diet and food intake. Among other things, the Premium service offers an ad-free experience, plus access to verified foods that have accurate calorie and nutrition content and detailed graphs and info about how many calories you’re consuming over specific time periods.

The new graphing view allows you to check how many calories you’re taking in over specific days, weeks, months, or meals, which is useful if you’re trying to narrow things down. With the enhanced nutrient views, you can set individual goals for different nutrients like calories, carbs, and protein, so you can track things much more specifically than you’d be able to before. This service probably won’t do much for casual users, but someone that’s interested in micro-managing their fitness regiment could really stand to benefit from features like this.

The premium service runs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. This definitely puts it at the higher end of fitness apps, but hey, it’s doing something those other apps aren’t, so that’s worth something.
