Cronometer vs MyFitnessPal: Which Food Tracker Is More Accurate in 2026?

Cronometer is more accurate than MyFitnessPal for micronutrient tracking — it uses verified food databases (USDA, NCCDB) and flags items without full nutritional data. MyFitnessPal has the largest food database (14 million+ items) but it's heavily user-submitted, meaning errors are common. For anyone tracking macros for general fitness: MyFitnessPal is sufficient. For micronutrient monitoring, medical diets, or clinical nutrition: Cronometer is significantly more reliable.
