Garmin now offers nutrition tracking

Garmin has announced that it is adding nutrition tracking to the Garmin Connect app as an additional feature for users with a Garmin Connect Plus subscription. This feature allows users to “track calories and macros (protein, fat, carbs) and get active intelligence insights to help them achieve their nutritional goals.” According to Garmin.

To register foods, you can search for items in a “global food database that includes delicatessen, restaurant and regional food options” as well as scanning barcodes or using the camera on your smartphone. Compatible Garmin smartwatches will also allow users to see “a quick overview of their nutrition and track their favorite and recently logged foods.”

Garmin offers daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly nutrition reports, and can give you personalized calorie and macronutrient recommendations. Garmin says AI-powered active intelligence insights can help you “better understand how nutrition impacts health and training,” such as how “low-quality sleep is affected by late-night eating.”
