Sync alternatives to Myfitnesspal?

Hey all,

Is there any other diet tracking services that Garmin Connect integrates with, other than MyFitnessPal?

Reason I ask is because I bought a Forerunner 35 about a month ago, switching from a Fitbit Flex2. I used Fitbit's one app for activity AND food tracking. I understand that Garmin doesn't do food tracking, but instead has partnered with MFP.

While the Garmin portion of things (the watch and Connect service) has been great, I've been having an ongoing issues with the iOS MFP app sucking down battery (30-40% of my iPhone's battery). So I'm trying to look for an alternative food tracking service. The integration is really nice, though, w/ each being somewhat aware of the other.

Thanks.

Lots of customization of your meal plan and nutrient tracking even on the free tier. I like it a lot

Please open up integration with Cronometer!!! It is way better than MFP!

Without proper and convenient food tracking, all Garmin products just got a demotion.

MFP ads have severely degraded my Forerunner experience.

MFP is so bad it boggles the mind.

I couldn't believe that MFY wants $20 / month to scan barcodes! I'm not paying that. I'm searching for alternatives, and I would prefer one that takes info from Garmin Connect. I'm less concerned about the other way.

Please allow Garmin Connect to read dietary and nutrional information logged through more third party apps than just MFP. I am using Cronometer and it is vastly superior to MFP.

Garmin is not disallowing it, the developers of the external apps can pay for access to the Garmin API anytime they want to.

Wish they would just open up the API or include their own food database. everything else is already there.
