Export your data from MyFitnessPal

Your diary is yours. This page shows how to get it out of MyFitnessPal and into zweitaps without retyping days by hand. The route is not ours — it is in MyFitnessPal's own help; checked 15 September 2026.

The catch first: Nur mit Premium. Ohne Abo bleibt der Weg über das Privacy Center („Download My Data“, passwortgeschützte xlsx).

Exporting without Premium

This is the question people actually ask, so here is the straight answer: the Reports → Export route needs a subscription. The route that does not is the Privacy Center — "Download My Data" — which hands you a password-protected xlsx of everything MyFitnessPal holds about you. It is clumsier and it is not a tidy diary CSV, but it is free, and it is your data under GDPR either way.

Four steps

1. Request the export from MyFitnessPal. Web: Reports → Export, oder App: More → Nutrition → Export. Nur mit Premium. Ohne Abo bleibt der Weg über das Privacy Center („Download My Data“, passwortgeschützte xlsx).
2. Get the file onto your phone. Most vendors send it by e-mail. Open the mail on your phone and save the attachment to Files.
3. Import it into zweitaps. zweitaps → Settings → Data → "Import data", pick the file. You first see what is inside — how many days, how many foods — and then decide.
4. Check. After the import it tells you what was written and what was skipped. zweitaps recognises duplicates and does not create them twice.

What arrives

Entries with date, meal, amount and calories, plus the foods behind them as far as the export lists them separately. You set your goals fresh in zweitaps — no export carries those reliably.

What does not

Photos, fasting history, favourites and micronutrients beyond the three macros. That is not a limit of zweitaps but the content of the file: what MyFitnessPal does not export does not exist for any importer.

zweitaps shows you a preview before writing — how many days, how many foods, which period — and only writes when you tap again.
