The honest comparison.
Zenith vs MyFitnessPal — nutrition tracker or coach?
MyFitnessPal pioneered crowdsourced calorie tracking. It still owns the largest food database in the category — useful if your goal is to manually log everything you eat.
Zenith is built around the opposite premise: you shouldn't have to log manually to get a smart nutrition plan. The AI sets your targets, generates your meals, and lets you log with a photo when you want speed.
Here's the comparison.

Common questions about switching from MyFitnessPal
Is Zenith a MyFitnessPal alternative?

Does Zenith have a barcode scanner?
Zenith uses photo-based AI logging as the primary fast-log path; manual entry is also available. Crowdsourced barcode lookups aren't the priority — accuracy from photos and the food database is.
