Imi vs MyFitnessPal: a meal planner and a calorie tracker
MyFitnessPal is best for people who want a well-known tracker for food, calories, macros and workouts, with many connected apps and devices. Imi is best for people who want the week planned first, from recipes they already love, around a goal like a GLP-1, blood sugar, blood pressure or pregnancy.
