SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyFitnessPal, the leading free resource helping people improve their health, today announced reaching the 30 million user mark, a milestone achievement in the company’s mission to make good health attainable for all. On the heels of significant consumer traction, the company is also debuting their first-ever application programming interface (API). The MyFitnessPal API connects with partners’ technologies and devices—including BodyMedia, runtastic, Endomondo and Withings—to enable the real-time, seamless exchange of user data in order to provide the best nutrition and exercise tools and support for consumers.

MyFitnessPal boasts the largest database of nutritional information with more than 2 million listings, including the most popular restaurants and food brands. By gathering all wellness data into one place, MyFitnessPal now offers a more complete picture of each user’s overall personal health.
