If you already use the Garmin Connect Plus app to track your workouts and health stats, there’s no need for a separate app to monitor your nutrition. At CES 2026, Garmin announced that it will now track calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates directly within its own app, eliminating the need for the MyFitnessPal integration (although it still appears to be live).
Whether you’re eating food at home, packaged food on the go or a meal in a restaurant, there are multiple ways you can get the nutrition info: 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 the Oura Ring) and MyFitnessPal work.
What nutrition tracking looks like in Connect Plus.
Using your tracked meals, Garmin Connect Plus can provide daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports on your nutrition, along with customizable recommendations based on your activity level, average active calories, height, weight and gender. Powered by AI, Active Intelligence also supplies insights into how your nutrition may affect your training and overall health.
These nutrition details can be added to your performance dashboard, and if you have a compatible Garmin smartwatch, you’re able to see a quick overview directly 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 14-day free trial, allowing you to try out the new nutrition tracking feature.
