Garmin Users No Longer Need a Separate App to Track Their Calories and Macros

If you already use the Garmin Connect Plus app to track your workouts and health stats, you don’t need a separate app to monitor your nutrition. At CES 2026, Garmin announced that it would now track calories, protein, fat, and carbs directly in its own app, eliminating the need for MyFitnessPal integration (although it still appears to be online).

Whether you’re eating food at home, packaged food on the go, or dining out, there are many ways to obtain nutritional information: search a global database, scan a barcode, or use a smartphone camera for AI-powered image recognition. This is similar to how apps like Zoe Health, Oura (for Oura Ring), and MyFitnessPal work.

Using your tracked meals, Garmin Connect Plus can provide daily, weekly, monthly and yearly reports on your nutrition, as well as customizable recommendations based on your activity level, average active calories, height, weight and gender. Powered by AI, Active Intelligence also provides insights into how your diet can affect your workout and overall health.

These nutritional details can be added to your performance dashboard, and if you have a compatible Garmin smartwatch, you can see a quick overview right on the device.

The Garmin Connect Plus app costs $7 per month or $70 per year. New customers can try the app free for 30 days. For customers who have already tried Connect Plus, Garmin is offering a free 14-day trial, allowing you to try out the new nutrition tracking feature.
