Garmin is making it easier for users to track their food intake, along with personalized calorie macro recommendations, with the addition of nutrition tracking in Garmin Connect.
This feature is the latest of several exciting enhancements for those with a Garmin Connect+ plan. It lets users track their calories and macros (proteins, fats and carbs) and receive Active Intelligence insights. This can help them achieve their nutrition goals. Track nutrition directly within the Garmin Connect app alongside health and fitness data.
“Our Nutrition feature is designed for all users, no matter where they are in their health journey,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing. “Whether they’re just starting to build healthy habits, wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or looking to perform at their absolute best, users can now track their nutrition, health and fitness data in one app—giving them a simplified approach to reach their goals.”
Tracking Made Easy
Track nutrition through the Garmin Connect app to stay on top of those health and fitness goals.
- Search for food items using a global food database that includes packaged, restaurant and regional food options, scan bar codes or use the camera on a compatible smartphone for AI-powered image recognition to log foods.
- Create custom foods and meals to track most-loved meals and recipes.
- See daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports for consumed and targeted calories and macronutrients to get a better idea of how health goals are progressing.
- View personalized calorie and macronutrient recommendations based on height, weight, gender, activity level and average active calories. Targets can be customized based on desired health goals, such as increasing daily protein intake.

- Nutrition details can be added to the performance dashboard, showing how training and performance is impacted by consumed calories and macros.
