You currently cannot choose the exact start time of your day. In the MyFitnessPal app, we will pull your time zone directly from your mobile device (for web, we reference the time zone in your MyFitnessPal profile), and use that time zone to know when midnight hits. The day then rolls over to the next day at midnight in that time zone.

However, some features are linked to the time zone set within the profile (like Meal reminders), and some users may find it helpful to change your time zone to one that is more suitable to your schedule.

To change your Time Zone:

On the Web
Click "My Home" then "Settings" then "Change time zone".​​​​

In our iPhone and iPad apps
On the "Settings" screen tap "Profile" then scroll down to "Time Zone"

In our Android app
On the "Settings" screen tap "Profile" then "Location"

In our other mobile apps
On the "More" screen tap "Edit Profile" then scroll down to "Time Zone"

If you'd like to go back to the default settings on the program, you should be able to do this in two different areas. Simply go to www.MyFitnessPal.com, sign in with the same username and password as the app. Once online you can either go to the main "Settings" tab and then to "Edit Diet/Fitness Profile". Make sure all information is correct in that area. Whether you need to make changes or not to the page, if you then click the Update Profile link at the bottom of the page, it should instantly set you on the most current information for your profile.

Or if you like, you can go to the "Goals" tab, and then "Change Goals" then "Guided" and walk through the set up once more. If you are using an app, all updated changes should then transfer to the app the next time you log in with the same username and password, and there is a valid internet connection.
