Siri/Shortcuts Integration for Easy Food Entry in Myfitnesspal

in Feature Suggestions and Ideas
I suggest adding Siri/shortcuts integration to the Myfitnesspal app. Voice-to-text functionality could be used to add general meal notes to the food log, allowing users to quickly capture basic details of their meals without immediate detailed entry. This would alleviate the challenge of remembering or recalling meals, enabling users to later enter specific food items at their convenience. This enhancement would greatly improve the user experience and streamline food tracking.

    I totally agree. Also an Alexa skill? So Hey Siri add bacon to my breakfast in my fitness pal. Basically a fully voice integrated food tracker. If someone provided this easy feature it would be a game changer. When are youbhuysbbringingnirnour? Cheers

    Totally would love it. Saying sth like “Siri log a medium banana for a snack” or sth like that with some default values would be nice

    yes. I tried to build a shortcut on ios (iphone) to “voice log” but I can’t because it’s a menu down (must hit plus first) and not available to pick as a choice in Apple shortcuts. Anyway that would be a way to do it if it were a possible “action” to choose.

    It would be so cool to be able to push a button “widget” on my watch and access the new amazing voice log feature that’s already in place now enabling us to say something like ‘for breakfast I had toast and an egg’.

    Thanks MFP your app is awesome, now I would like to program my own shortcut to make it a widget. Just need to be able to choose “voice log” as an option.

    I think it would be great to use the iPhone Action button to log food via voice. For that it would be great to start the voice capture function of MyFitnessPal directly from a shortcut.

    The implementation on Apple's side should be pretty straightforward, there are standard methods for such features.
