I would like to import my food diary from Cronometer instead of Myfitnesspal

Please allow importing food calories from Cronometer.com I do not like using Myfitnesspal. I currently use a combination of Garmin and Fitbit data, it would be much nicer if I could report my food calories to Garmin Connect as well.

I'd prefer cronometer rather than MFP too. Please Garmin add importing Cronometer diary, thanks.

Been following this thread for several months after contacting garmin about allowing cronometer to export food data to it, and see that garmin are just ignoring us all.

MFP is not fit for purpose. GARMIN…

I'd prefer cronometer rather than MFP too. Or a manual option.

Very disappointing to see these requests go on so long without an update. I reached out to customer service and was told they only partner with MFP (for data to go into the garmin connect app). I asked how to formally request a change and they gave me the following link. Maybe if we flood the idea link with these request, they'll see how much demand there is for the same integration with Cronometer as there is with MFP...or least enough interest they'll open up the options.

+1 MFP is rubbish compared to Cronometer.

Dear Garmin, please start using Cronometer's APIs. If you're contractually attached to MFP that's understandable, please let us (your clients who buy your stuff) know.

I love cronometer, and will never go back to MyFitnessPal. Please support them as well.

I wish I had known they were exclusive to MFP before I bought a tracker from them. Would have been nice to know.

I'll add my vote. MFP is rubbish and doesn't count nearly as much data as I'd like. I paid a small fortune for my watch and being forced to use a substandard app full of incorrect information is just completely insane. I'm considering selling my Garmin watch to buy something else.

I tried using MFP just because it's the only thing that works with Garmin. What a terrible app

I'm back with Cronometer, much better - please add support for getting kcal-values from Cronometer into Garmin!
