Phaze vs MyFitnessPal
These two apps have different jobs. Phaze is a GLP-1-specific wellness tracker built around your medication: doses, injection sites, side effects, and an Estimated Levels curve. MyFitnessPal is a general nutrition and calorie counter with a large food database used by the broad dieting and fitness audience. If you are on a GLP-1, you may even use both. Here is an honest, side-by-side look at where each one fits.
Feature-by-feature comparison
Phaze and MyFitnessPal focus on different things, so this table credits each where it is strong. The GLP-1-specific rows fall outside MyFitnessPal's stated scope as a general nutrition tracker.

MyFitnessPal is a general nutrition and calorie tracker, so GLP-1-specific tools such as dose tracking and Estimated Levels fall outside its stated feature set rather than being a shortcoming. Conversely, MyFitnessPal's food database and logging tools are broader than Phaze's. Both ship an Apple Watch app and Android app. Accessed 2026-06-06.
Pricing at a glance
Both apps are free to download with a real free tier and optional paid plans. Phaze keeps its GLP-1 core free with optional Pro; MyFitnessPal offers paid Premium and Premium+ tiers. Verify current prices on each store before deciding.

Key differences
The biggest distinction is focus: a GLP-1 medication companion versus a general nutrition tracker. Here is how that plays out.
Built for GLP-1 vs general nutrition
Phaze is purpose-built for the GLP-1 journey: it tracks your doses, rotates injection sites, logs side effects, and shows an Estimated Levels curve based on published pharmacokinetics. MyFitnessPal is a general calorie and macro tracker for the broad dieting and fitness audience; GLP-1 dose and pharmacokinetic tracking are not part of its stated feature set. Many GLP-1 users could reasonably use both, one for the medication side and one for deep food logging.
Food-logging depth
This is where MyFitnessPal is strong, and we will say so plainly. It offers a food database of over 20 million foods, a barcode scanner, and broad device integrations, making it a deeper general food tracker than Phaze. Phaze focuses on protein-first logging with AI Meal Snap, label and barcode scanning, and voice or text entry, tuned for the GLP-1 context rather than exhaustive calorie counting.
Beyond food: progress, body & labs
Phaze brings GLP-1-relevant tracking that sits next to nutrition: progress photos with slider, overlay, and timelapse comparison; Body Composition (Beta); Labs & Scans across 8 categories; a Lifestyle Score; and a My Report PDF you can bring to an appointment. These reflect Phaze's medication-companion focus and are outside MyFitnessPal's nutrition-tracking scope.
Privacy model & platforms
Phaze is local-first by design: medical data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stays on your device unless you choose an encrypted backup. MyFitnessPal is an account-based service with cloud sync and a web app at myfitnesspal.com. Both ship an Apple Watch app and an Android app. This is a design difference, not a verdict, choose the model that fits how you want your data handled.
Common questions
Not exactly, they have different jobs. Phaze is a GLP-1-specific wellness tracker built around your medication: doses, injection sites, side effects, an Estimated Levels curve, progress photos, body composition, and labs. MyFitnessPal is a general nutrition and calorie counter with a very large food database. Some GLP-1 users use both, Phaze for the medication journey and MyFitnessPal for detailed food logging.
MyFitnessPal describes itself as a general calorie, macro, and nutrition tracker. GLP-1-specific tools such as dose scheduling, injection-site rotation, side-effect tracking, and an Estimated Levels pharmacokinetic curve are not part of its stated feature set. Phaze is purpose-built for that part of the journey.
For pure breadth of food logging, MyFitnessPal is strong: it offers a database of over 20 million foods, a barcode scanner, and broad device integrations. Phaze focuses on protein-first logging with AI Meal Snap, label and barcode scanning, and voice or text entry, designed for the GLP-1 context rather than exhaustive calorie counting.
