INTAKELifters: connect sets to fuel.
Log actual sets and PRs, review history-based progression cues, then plan food alongside the session. Athlete adds optional timing and pantry guidance.

Why choose Intake over MyFitnessPal or MacroFactor?
Keep your food, training and next move connected.
Free tracking to start · Athlete guidance is optional
THE INTAKE ADVANTAGE
A calorie total tells one story.
Your training tells the rest.
Runners: connect miles to meals.
Follow a built-in running plan, see weekly mileage and a race countdown, and import Garmin .FIT runs manually. Athlete adds optional training-day fuel guidance — watch estimates are not precise calorie prescriptions.
Hybrid: keep one picture.
See nutrition, lifting and running together instead of rebuilding the day across separate tools. Your actual logs remain editable; suggestions never silently change goals.
BUILT FOR RUNNERS, TOO
Running plans.
From first mile to ultra.
Your race build, weekly miles and daily food belong together. Train for your first finish or a longer challenge without leaving your nutrition behind.

Your race, in focus.
Training phase, days to race and weekly mileage against your plan. Build, recovery and taper weeks keep the bigger picture visible.
Every mile has a home.
Track time on feet, elevation and distance. Shoe Garage tracks logged mileage with adjustable replacement reminders — not an injury prediction.
Bring your Garmin run.
Manually import a Garmin .FIT file. GPS routes, heart-rate zones and long-run drift analysis appear when the file contains enough data. Automatic Garmin Connect sync is not available.
Fuel beyond the finish.
Optional Athlete guidance connects logged carbs, planned runs and timed macro windows. Log pack weight to distinguish a ruck from an unloaded walk.
Explore Intake for running
First mile is free. The other built-in race plans require Athlete.
Plans and fuel guidance are estimates, not guarantees or measurements of glycogen. Ultra mileage is a guide; terrain, experience and tolerance matter. Your goals only change when you approve.
CHOOSE THE WORKFLOW, NOT THE HYPE
Intake vs. MyFitnessPal
and MacroFactor.
All three can help you track nutrition. Intake’s pitch is the connected lift-and-run workflow — not a promise of better results for everyone.
MYFITNESSPAL
Food and exercise tracking.
MyFitnessPal supports food, macros, cardio, strength and workout routines, plus connected activity. Its Premium plan includes barcode scanning. Intake’s difference is its athlete-focused combination of logging, progression cues and pantry-aware planning — not exclusive exercise tracking.
MyFitnessPal free featuresMACROFACTOR
Adaptive nutrition + a workouts app.
MacroFactor offers nutrition coaching based on intake and weight trends, including barcode scanning. MacroFactor Workouts is a separate strength-training app. Intake brings its own optional calorie reviews together with lifting records, running and pantry-aware planning.

BEFORE & AFTER · PLANNING, NOT PHYSIQUE
Same macros.
More training context.
Fictional examples show how a daily budget can be distributed differently. These are not customer results, competitor outputs, personalized targets or predictions of muscle gain or race performance.
