A prompt to build your own version of MyFitnessPal

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your MyFitnessPal-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want to track meals, calories, and macros. The main screen should show today's calorie total, protein, carbs, and fat against goals I can edit. Below that, show breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Tapping Add Food should let me enter a food name, serving size, calories, protein, carbs, and fat, then save it to a meal. Let me save foods for reuse and tap a saved food to log it again with a different serving amount. Let me edit or delete diary entries and browse previous days. Save everything on my device. Use a clean white design with green accents and clear progress bars. Include realistic sample foods and diary entries so I can try the app right away.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade MyFitnessPal won't have

MyFitnessPal gives people an established food database, an existing fitness community, and connections to services like Garmin and Fitbit.

  • MyFitnessPal's accumulated food records
  • Existing MyFitnessPal community
  • Garmin and Fitbit partnerships
