Update: confirmed to work on Android by a few users, updated the title

I am a long-time user of MyFitnessPal and at times paid for the monthly subscription to keep an eye on my macros.

Today I looked into getting a better deal and I was able to score it for TRY129.99 (~A$7.58) Per Year! This is my first ever deal posted. I hope I did it ok. It worked on iOS. I have not tested it on Android though but I imagine it will be similar.

For reference, the Australian or in-app purchase price is A$129.99.

Here are the instructions:

  1. Go to your iOS App, change location to Turkey, and change postal code to 06590 (just use any or Google search it)
  2. Log into MyFitnessPal in your computer browser with VPN turned on and the location changed to Turkey. (I used Chrome with Windscribe VPN).
  3. Click Premium, you should see the Turkish price of TRY 129.99 and go through the process to pay with a card that doesn't charge international fees.
  4. Cancel auto-renewal, My Home > Setting > Subscription Settings > Auto-Renewal > Off

Enjoy, hope this helps someone :)

      Google One subscription accepts Google Play Credits if you want to have that, in case if you don't want credits to go waste. I am using that for my Google One.

    I use FatSecret, it's free and has access to the exact same database.

    • w33w00 on 16/09/2023 - 14:14
      +1

      I was suspect about FatSecret offering similar features/info for free, usually it's paid for by intrusive data mining and selling of your data.

      But after having read through their T&C's and Privacy Policy, it seems legit and that they aren't predatory. Sounds awesome!

    • Cheesues on 16/09/2023 - 15:47

      Is this true? Can't seem to find anything to verify this. If so it's a no brainer to switch.

    • DoubleWookie on 28/09/2023 - 22:52

      I ran a test on this and it's definitely not the exact same database. Tried quite a few items in the pantry that FatSecret didn't have while MyFitnessPal did.

      • [Deactivated] on 29/09/2023 - 10:13

        That's because it has a larger crowd sourced database, I'm referring to the core data. You're paying for MFP simply because more people use it.

  • Kthomasperth on 16/09/2023 - 14:01

    Works so far but I only just created a profile so have 1 month free - hopefully it auto charges the TRY price when it auto renews!

    • frogfrizz on 18/09/2023 - 14:03

      Same here! I never used the 1 month trial so I'm hoping it auto-renews at that price, then I can turn off auto-renewal after.

  • niroo96 on 16/09/2023 - 14:02

    What if I leave auto-renew on with my location changed to AUD, will be charged in AUD or TRY next year?

    • Faiz on 16/09/2023 - 14:05

      I think as long as your country is 🇹🇷 it should auto-renew with the same price unless MyfitnessPal pick up on this loophole.

      Yes.

    It’s not comparing apples to apples since it’s quite a pricey subscription but MacroFactor is infinitely more useful if you’re serious about calorie control for weightlifting (at least). You just provide weight and calorie intake data points and it does the rest by inferring the calorie burn (which is the hardest of the three factors to estimate).

    I’ve seen noticeable improvement since switching to it (and doing Jeff Nippards 5 day full body routine)

    Works fine on Android app as well. Thanks OP.

    • Jessie Ryder on 16/09/2023 - 14:37

      I don't think it does, you need to change your location as well as VPN

  • Bii on 16/09/2023 - 14:25

    Many reviews complaining about the push for subscriptions and that might be a good reason for this comparing to the AU price

    Is there a forum post for these multi-currency deals?

    So far I have:

    YouTube premium
    Blinkist

    I believe Netflix & Spotify are options, any others ?

  • johnnytran on 16/09/2023 - 14:52

    I haven’t used this since a free 1 year deal a couple years back. Just checked my app and it says premium under my name but when I click on subscription status it says 2021.

    What can I do to confirm I still have premium features enabled on my app? I do have the option to click “my premium features” in the settings so I’m guessing it’s bugged?

    • Faiz on 16/09/2023 - 14:57

      Do you see macros in the main dashboard?

      • johnnytran on 16/09/2023 - 15:42

        Yep I see the carbs/fat/protein up top and I can also scan barcodes. Custom dashboard has macronutrients focused selected below premium features so I guess it’s still working for me haha

        • Faiz on 16/09/2023 - 15:44

          I guess you have a premium subscription.

    - Connected to Turkey in VPN
    - Opened new private window in browser -> Logged in to myfitnesspal.com -> Clicked premium, signed up successfully.
    - Ordered pizza.
    - Napped.

      You will get an extra month.

        And I got to remember to logon and cancel renewal too. I have gold fish memories these days 🤣

  • antigrate on 16/09/2023 - 16:24

    Looks like you can't do this with an existing account where you've already signed up in Australia. Am I right that this is only for new sign-ups?

    • payton on 16/09/2023 - 16:27

      In App settings, change country and postcode to Turkey, then do the VPN on desktop
      I rushed and signed up as AUS account, but above seemingly still works.
      Not sure if I should've joined as Turkiye acc in the first place.

      • antigrate on 16/09/2023 - 16:34

        Worked! Thank you. Maybe I'm silly but it wasn't clear from OP's instructions that those settings for postcode were in MyFitnessPal itself.

        I ended up going this route after I couldn't get the VPN method to work. Connected to VPN via Istanbul, changed region, changed time zone. The app had been downloaded via my Turkish google account. Still offered Premium only with AUD.

  • J1990T on 16/09/2023 - 19:15

    Did this last month on iPhone. Have a Turkish iCloud hooked up so prices for MyFitnessPal come up in TRY. Will be fine aslong as you’re loaded up with gift cards

  • TheBoneSetter on 16/09/2023 - 21:24

    worked for android thank you. After paying on the web page i did have to log out and log back in for it to reflect on the app

    What do you have to do in Android? Just change the country to Turkey? And if so, how?

    Also, can this be applied to other apps listed here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/718277)?

    If anyone can provide step-by-step Android instructions it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Bargain reaper on 16/09/2023 - 22:14

  • cute as duck on 16/09/2023 - 23:16
    +7

    Worked on Android. Thanks

    Just followed instructions in description above but instead of iOS:

    Turn on VPN to Turkey (I used PIA)
    1) Open Chrome in desktop mode
    2) click on profile
    3) click on edit profile
    4) change country to Turkey and enter 06590 postcode
    5) click on premium and showed TRY129.99
    6) and pay. My card has Australia address but I left it as Turkey as country when paying with CC. Still went through

    You can probably do the same in the app, settings, edit profile but I just did the above and worked first time.

    • Bargain-er on 17/09/2023 - 07:50

      Yea, I'm wondering too but may be useful if you re aiming less than 15% body fat?

      • Faiz on 17/09/2023 - 10:40

        That’s why I started using this. I brought body fat to 12%. But Covid and working from home has raised it to 16%. That’s why I wanted to keep an eye on what I eat.

        • Bargain-er on 17/09/2023 - 10:45

    From someone who's used both, how do they compare?

    Probably a silly question I know, but .. can you pay in USD instead of TRY ? .. or it needs to be in TRY. My travel card does not support TRY so wanted to understand if that was an option tried or you need a credit/debit card with TRY

    • Faiz on 17/09/2023 - 10:38

      Open an UP account. Takes about 5 minutes and you will have a virtual card ready for payments

      Travel cards are rip offs. Use a debit card from up bank, wise, revolut, ubank, all don't charge international transaction fees and give you a very good exchange rate

    How does this app work (track) for home cooked meals?

    • Saltywarden on 14/10/2023 - 08:48

      you'll have to put things in individually if there isn't one in there already or use the closest meal in the result if your to lazy to add separate details i.e. Rice 1 cup, 200g Beef etc.

    • nahkk on 14/10/2023 - 12:51

      There is an option to add your custom meals. Each meal can have multiple ingredients and their weight/volume. You should be able to find most of ingredients on the app. For example, I have an omelete meal with eggs, capsicum, chicken and mushrooms.

      Once a meal is added, you can select it for any day breakfast/lunch/dinner. But yes, adding a custom meal is a bit of work if too many ingredients.
