Cancel MyFitnessPal: The Right Way

How to cancel MyFitnessPal Premium and stop unwanted charges

Why you might want to cancel MyFitnessPal Premium

MyFitnessPal Premium removes ads, unlocks advanced macronutrient tracking by gram, delivers meal-level analysis, exports your data, and includes voice and photo logging on supported devices. For many users, these features justify the cost. For others, the subscription becomes a low-priority expense or duplicates tools they already own elsewhere.

You chose MyFitnessPal for a reason. If that reason has changed, your fitness goals have shifted, or the cost no longer fits your budget, cancelling is the right call. At Tocancel, we help you understand exactly how to do it without friction or unwanted delay.

When subscription creep becomes a budget problem

Subscription creep is real. You signed up when the feature set felt essential, but over time your priorities change. Others cancel because they've switched to a competitor like Cronometer or Lose It, or because the app's recent updates don't match their workout style anymore. Some users discover that free alternatives meet their needs just as well. Many cancel after an unexpected charge hits their account, a reminder that auto-renewal works in the company's favor, not yours.

Whatever your reason, Tocancel recommends acting before your next billing cycle. The longer you delay, the higher the chance of another unwanted charge hitting your account.

MyFitnessPal Premium pricing in the united states

MyFitnessPal Premium pricing varies by the platform where you subscribed (iOS, Android, or web), and promotional pricing may apply when you first signed up. Here is what you typically see:

Your consumer rights under US federal law

The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, gives you explicit protection when cancelling subscription services.

What ROSCA requires from MyFitnessPal

Under ROSCA, MyFitnessPal must provide you with a simple, straightforward way to cancel your subscription. The cancellation mechanism must be just as easy as signing up was. If you subscribed with one click, cancellation should never require five pages of navigation or a phone call to customer service. The company must also obtain your express informed consent before charging you for renewal, and must clearly disclose all material terms of the subscription before you pay.

Your legal position is straightforward: ROSCA requires MyFitnessPal to honor cancellation requests promptly. Delays, hidden friction, or refusing to cancel are all violations. If MyFitnessPal fails to cancel your subscription or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you have grounds to dispute the charges with your bank.

How the federal trade commission can help if you are stuck

If you have tried to cancel and MyFitnessPal ignored your request, or if charges continue after you thought you had cancelled, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. The FTC takes subscription abuse seriously and has fined companies millions of dollars for ROSCA violations. Your complaint becomes part of the agency's enforcement data and strengthens future actions against bad actors.

Do not accept silence or delay as an answer. The FTC is your enforcement partner when a company refuses to cancel.

Where to cancel MyFitnessPal Premium based on your subscription method

The key to cancelling without friction is knowing exactly where you subscribed. MyFitnessPal does not handle cancellation directly; instead, the company that processed your payment (Apple, Google, or MyFitnessPal's web payment processor) controls the cancellation. Tocancel breaks down the process for each platform you may have used.

Cancel via the apple app store (iOS devices)

If you subscribed to MyFitnessPal Premium through your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, Apple manages the subscription, not MyFitnessPal. You must cancel through your Apple account settings.

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple device.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Find and tap MyFitnessPal Premium.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Trial if you are still in a trial period).
6. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
7. You will receive an email confirmation from Apple. Save this confirmation as proof of cancellation.

Apple will stop charging you at the end of your current billing cycle. You will lose access to Premium features on the next day after your subscription expires, not immediately.

Cancel via the google play store (Android devices)

If you subscribed to MyFitnessPal Premium through your Android phone or tablet, Google manages the subscription. You must cancel through your Google Play account settings.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Tap Payments and Subscriptions.
4. Tap Subscriptions.
5. Find and tap MyFitnessPal Premium.
6. Tap Cancel Subscription.
7. Select your reason for cancellation (optional but helpful for feedback).
8. Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm.

Google will stop charging you at the end of your current billing cycle. Your Premium access ends on that date.

Cancel via the MyFitnessPal website

If you subscribed to MyFitnessPal Premium through myfitnesspal.com using a credit card, you must cancel through the web platform. This method is straightforward if you remember your login credentials.

1. Visit myfitnesspal.com and log in with your email address and password.
2. Click your username in the top right corner and select Account Settings.
3. Click Premium from the left menu.
4. Locate your Subscription Settings section.
5. Toggle Auto-Renewal from On to Off.
6. Confirm the toggle change when prompted.
7. You will see a confirmation message on screen and receive an email confirmation.

Turning off auto-renewal stops future charges. Your Premium access will end on your next billing date. At that point, you will revert to the free version of MyFitnessPal.

What happens after you cancel your MyFitnessPal Premium subscription

Cancellation works, but understanding what comes next helps you avoid confusion and avoid resubscribing by accident.

Your access timeline after cancellation

After you cancel, you keep Premium access until the end of your current billing cycle. This is because you have already paid for that period. Once your billing date passes, you lose access to Premium features immediately. You can still use MyFitnessPal Free indefinitely. Your food and exercise logs remain in your account and are not deleted when you cancel Premium.

Mark your cancellation date in your calendar. This prevents you from being surprised when Premium features disappear and reminds you whether you want to resubscribe later.

Retrieving your data before or after cancellation

MyFitnessPal Premium includes a data export feature. If you want to back up your logs before losing Premium access, export your data while you still have it. Free accounts cannot export data, so do this before your subscription expires.

1. Log in to myfitnesspal.com.
2. Go to Account Settings.
3. Click Data Export.
4. Select the date range you want to export.
5. Download your data as a CSV file and save it to your computer.

Once you export your data, you own a backup of your logs independent of MyFitnessPal. This protects you if the company deletes your account or if you lose access during a technical issue.

If MyFitnessPal continues charging you after cancellation

Cancellation fails sometimes. A company forgets to stop auto-renewal, a payment processor glitches, or account syncing delays a refund. If MyFitnessPal charged you after you cancelled, you have clear rights and concrete steps to recover your money.

Dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer

Do not wait for MyFitnessPal to fix the problem. Contact your bank or credit card company immediately after discovering an unauthorized charge.

1. Call the customer service number on the back of your card.
2. Tell the representative you cancelled your MyFitnessPal Premium subscription but were charged anyway.
3. Provide the date you cancelled and the date of the unwanted charge.
4. Request that the bank file a chargeback or dispute on your behalf.
5. Ask for a reference number for the dispute and a timeline for resolution.

Your bank has 60 to 120 days to investigate. In most cases, the bank will refund the charge and remove the dispute from your account once they confirm cancellation was valid.

File a complaint with the federal trade commission if the pattern repeats

If this is the second or third unwanted charge, Tocancel recommends reporting MyFitnessPal to the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC tracks patterns of abuse across companies and uses your complaint to build enforcement cases.

1. Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov.
2. Select Subscription or Recurring Billing Charges as the issue type.
3. Provide your MyFitnessPal email, the subscription amount, and the dates of all charges after cancellation.
4. Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation email and bank statements showing the unwanted charges.
5. Submit the complaint.

The FTC does not recover money for you, but your complaint strengthens the agency's case if it decides to investigate or sue MyFitnessPal for ROSCA violations.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling MyFitnessPal Premium

Cancellation confusion is common. You signed up on one platform but look for the cancel button on another, or you assume cancelling the app deletes the subscription. Tocancel walks you through the traps so you avoid them.

Assuming that deleting the app cancels your subscription

Deleting the MyFitnessPal app from your phone does nothing to your subscription. The subscription lives in Apple's or Google's system, not on your device. You will still be charged when your billing date arrives. If you delete the app to save space or stop seeing notifications, you have not cancelled your subscription. You must use the cancellation method for your platform (Apple, Google, or web) to stop charges.

Never rely on deleting an app as a cancellation method.

Cancelling in the wrong place

This is the most common mistake. You subscribed via the App Store, but you log into the MyFitnessPal website and look for a cancel button there. The website's account settings will not show an active subscription if you subscribed through Apple or Google. You must cancel in the system that processed the payment. Tocancel recommends taking 30 seconds to confirm which platform you used before you try to cancel.

Check your oldest confirmation email from MyFitnessPal or Apple or Google. It will tell you exactly where the subscription is active.

Cancelling during a free trial and forgetting to confirm

Free trials convert to paid subscriptions automatically. If you cancel during a trial but do not confirm the cancellation or miss a confirmation email, the trial converts to a paid charge when it expires. Always complete the entire cancellation flow and save the confirmation email or screenshot as proof that you cancelled.

A confirmation email is your proof of action. Treat it like a receipt and keep it for at least one year.

Deciding whether to cancel or downgrade

Before you cancel entirely, consider whether you might want to keep some access to MyFitnessPal in the future. Tocancel helps you weigh your options.

After you cancel: protecting yourself from resubscription

The moment after cancellation is when careless resubscription happens. A notification prompts you to upgrade, or you forget that you cancelled and restart paying without noticing. Tocancel recommends simple habits to protect yourself.

Set a calendar reminder to check your statement

Mark the date your subscription ended and the date your next billing cycle would have started. Check your bank or credit card statement on both dates. This takes 60 seconds but catches unwanted charges before they become a pattern. Most disputes are easiest to resolve within 30 days of the charge.

Unsubscribe from MyFitnessPal marketing emails

MyFitnessPal sends reactivation offers and Premium upgrade prompts to cancelled users. These emails sometimes include clickable upgrade links that restart your subscription in one tap. Open the footer of any MyFitnessPal email, find the Unsubscribe link, and remove yourself from all promotional emails.

Check your saved payment methods

After cancelling, review your saved payment methods in your Apple, Google, or MyFitnessPal account. If you no longer want MyFitnessPal to have access to your card, remove it from the saved payment list. This adds friction to any accidental resubscription and forces you to re-enter your card details if you ever resubscribe intentionally.

Removing your payment method is optional but recommended if you do not plan to return to Premium in the next 12 months.

Comparing MyFitnessPal Premium to free alternatives

If you are cancelling because you found a better tool, you are in good company. Tocancel highlights how MyFitnessPal Premium stacks up against other nutrition and fitness trackers.
