Carla Hall Brings Her Signature Recipes to MyFitnessPal’s Meal Planner, Making Healthy Eating More Joyful

MyFitnessPal, the no. 1 global nutrition and food tracking app, today announced Recipe Discovery, an update to its recently launched Meal Planner tool, along with a special collection of recipes developed by chef, author and TV personality, Carla Hall. The collection features eight balanced, family-friendly recipes that showcase Carla Hall’s Southern roots and vibrant cooking style, blending comfort, creativity and health-conscious ingredients in every dish.

Designed for Premium+ members, MyFitnessPal’s Meal Planner delivers personalized meal plans that align with nutrition goals, dietary preferences, household size and budget. The new Recipe Discovery feature gives users even more control, allowing them to browse, favorite and filter recipes by tags like vegan, under 30 minutes or Mediterranean, making it easier to find meals that match health goals and taste preferences.

“I’ve been using MyFitnessPal since before the pandemic––back when I didn’t even know what a macronutrient was––and it helped me stay focused on what my body needs. I believe in making everyday meals both accessible and exciting. That’s why I’m delighted to share my recipes that combine familiar comforts with unfamiliar twists to make healthy eating feel more joyful and satisfying,” said Carla Hall, chef, best-selling author and television personality.

Designed using proprietary algorithms and AI, MyFitnessPal’s Meal Planner aims to reduce food waste, while also saving time and money, offering the following features:

  • Over 1,500 delicious recipes across a variety of cuisines
  • Searchable recipe categories and a dedicated Recipes tab
  • Streamlined food logging within the Meal Planner tool for seamless tracking
  • Auto-generated grocery lists and integration with Instacart and other providers for easy ingredient ordering

“Everything we design starts with our members and Recipe Discovery was one of their most requested features after our initial Meal Planner launch,” said Mike Fisher, CEO of MyFitnessPal. “This new feature makes it easier for members to find, filter and save their favorite Meal Planner recipes that fit their unique dietary preferences and nutrition goals. It’s the next step in evolving our Meal Planner tool, giving members more inspiration and flexibility to help them stay on track and reach their goals.”

MyFitnessPal’s Premium+ ($99.99/year) tier unlocks advanced tracking tools like Meal Scan, Barcode Scan and Voice Log, plus personalized meal planning through Meal Planner to make healthy eating even easier, no matter one’s budget or schedule.
