How to Cancel MyFitnessPal Premium — Step-by-Step for iOS, Android, and Web (2026)

Cancelling MyFitnessPal Premium should take less than two minutes, but only if you know where to go. The cancellation process is not inside the MFP app itself — you need to cancel through your device's subscription settings or through the platform where you originally subscribed. This trips up a lot of people, and it is the number one reason users get charged after they thought they cancelled.

This guide covers the exact steps for every platform, explains what happens to your account after cancelling, and addresses the most common cancellation problems.

Before You Cancel: What You Need to Know

A few things to understand before you start:

• Cancelling does not delete your account. Your food diary, recipes, and history stay intact. You just lose access to Premium features at the end of your current billing period.
• You keep Premium access until the end of your paid period. If you cancel on April 7 and your subscription renews on April 30, you have Premium until April 30.
• Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. This is the most common mistake. Uninstalling MFP from your phone does not stop the payments. You must cancel through your subscription settings.
• You cannot cancel through the MFP app. The app will direct you to your device's settings or the platform where you subscribed.

How to Cancel MyFitnessPal Premium on iPhone or iPad

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen (your Apple ID).
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Find MyFitnessPal in the list of active subscriptions and tap it.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription (or "Cancel Free Trial" if you are still in a trial period).
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

You will see the expiration date — that is the last day you will have Premium access.

Cannot Find MFP in Your Subscriptions?

If MyFitnessPal does not appear in your Apple subscriptions list, you did not subscribe through the App Store. Check Google Play (if you previously used an Android device) or check your email for a receipt from MFP's website.

How to Cancel MyFitnessPal Premium on the Web

If you subscribed directly through the MyFitnessPal website:

1. Go to myfitnesspal.com and log in.
2. Click on your profile icon or navigate to Settings.
3. Look for Subscription or Premium in the account settings.
4. Click Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.

What Happens After You Cancel MyFitnessPal Premium?

Once your Premium subscription ends, your account reverts to the free tier. Here is exactly what changes:

Feature	Premium	Free (After Cancelling)
Food diary and logging	Full access	Full access
Calorie and macro tracking	Yes	Yes
Barcode scanner	Yes	Yes
Nutrient tracking (beyond macros)	Full nutrients	Limited to calories + macros
Food analysis and insights	Detailed	Basic
Ad-free experience	Yes	No — ads return
Meal plans	Yes	No
Exercise calorie analysis	Detailed	Basic
Priority support	Yes	Standard
Custom goals and macros	Yes	Limited
Food timestamp logging	Yes	No
CSV export	Yes	No

The core functionality — logging food and tracking calories — remains available on the free tier. The main things you lose are the ad-free experience, detailed nutrient tracking, and some customization options.

Your data is not deleted. Your food diary history, custom foods, recipes, weight log, and account information all remain intact. You can still view them and continue logging on the free tier.

Common Cancellation Problems and How to Fix Them

"I cancelled but I am still being charged"

This is the most common complaint, and it almost always means one of two things:

1. You deleted the app instead of cancelling the subscription. Go to your device's subscription settings (steps above) and check if MFP is still listed as active.
2. You cancelled on the wrong platform. If you subscribed on an iPhone but are now checking your Android's subscriptions, you will not find it there. Check the platform where you originally subscribed.

If you genuinely cancelled through the correct platform and are still being charged, contact Apple or Google support directly. They can verify the cancellation status and issue refunds for charges after a cancellation.

"The cancel button is greyed out or missing"

This usually happens when:

• Your subscription is already in a "cancelled but still active until end of period" state. Check for an expiration date.
• You are looking in the wrong place (the MFP app versus your device's settings).
• There is a temporary glitch. Wait an hour and try again, or use a desktop browser to manage your subscription through Apple ID settings (appleid.apple.com) or Google Play (play.google.com).

"I cancelled during a free trial but was charged anyway"

Free trials typically convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial period. If you cancelled but were still charged, the cancellation may not have processed before the trial ended. Contact Apple or Google for a refund — they are generally understanding about free-trial-to-paid conversion issues.

"I want to cancel but I do not want to lose my data"

Cancelling Premium does not delete any data. Your food diary, weight history, custom foods, and recipes all stay on your account. You can continue using the free tier indefinitely or resubscribe at any time without losing anything.

Should You Stay on MFP's Free Tier or Switch?

After cancelling Premium, you have two paths: continue with MFP's free tier or switch to something else entirely. Neither is wrong — it depends on what bothered you about Premium.

When MFP's Free Tier Is Enough

If you cancelled because the Premium price was not worth it but you are fine with the core app, the free tier might be all you need. You can still log food, scan barcodes, and track calories and macros. You will have to deal with ads, and you lose detailed nutrient tracking and some customization, but the fundamental experience works.

When It Makes Sense to Switch

If you cancelled because of something more fundamental — the app feels bloated, you do not trust the food database accuracy, the ads on the free tier are intrusive, or you want to track more than just calories and protein — then staying on a downgraded version of the same app probably will not fix those issues.

Here are some alternatives worth evaluating:

Nutrola — If you want depth without the clutter. Tracks 100+ nutrients against a verified database of 1.8 million+ foods (not crowdsourced, so no "500-calorie salad" entries to watch out for). AI-powered logging with photo, voice, and barcode scanning. No ads on any tier. Supports Apple Watch and Wear OS, recipe import from URLs, and 15 languages. Free trial to test everything, then 2.50 EUR per month. Over 2 million users with a 4.9 rating.

FatSecret — If you do not want to pay anything. Genuinely free with no premium paywall for basic tracking. The database is large but crowdsourced (similar accuracy to MFP). You will deal with ads, but there is no subscription to worry about cancelling.

Cronometer — If micronutrient data is your priority. Excellent nutrient depth with a verified database. The interface is more clinical than MFP's, which some people love and others find dry. Free tier available, premium is moderately priced.

Lose It — If you want a clean, simple experience. Less cluttered than MFP with a solid free tier. Good for people who want calorie and macro tracking without the social features and content overload.

An Honest Note

You might not need to pay for a calorie tracker at all. If all you want is to log food and see calories, FatSecret does that for free. The paid apps — Nutrola, Cronometer, MFP Premium — justify their cost through things like verified databases, advanced nutrient tracking, AI logging, and ad-free experiences. Whether those things matter to you is a personal call.

If you do want to try a paid tracker, use a free trial first. Do not commit money until you have spent at least a week logging meals in the app and confirmed it actually fits how you eat and track.

Cancellation Checklist

Use this to make sure the cancellation is complete:

1. Identify where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or MFP website).
2. Cancel through that platform's subscription settings — not through the MFP app.
3. Look for a confirmation screen showing the expiration date.
4. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation.
5. Set a calendar reminder for the expiration date to verify you are not charged again.
6. If you plan to switch apps, start logging in the new app before your MFP Premium expires, so there is no gap in your tracking habit.
7. Do not delete your MFP account unless you are certain you will never want access to your historical data.
