myfitnesspal

A client library and command line tool for myfitnesspal.

Installation

go get github.com/savaki/myfitnesspal/myfitnesspal

Command Line Usage

In addition to being a go library, myfitnesspal can be used from the command line to retrieve data from myfitnesspal.com in json format.

MyFitnessPal Authentication

All myfitnesspal command line requests need to be authenticated. You can either authenticate by tacking on --username and --password to each request as follows:

myfitnesspal food-diary --username YOUR-USERNAME --password YOUR_PASSWORD
--

Or by setting environment variables:

export MYFITNESSPAL_USERNAME=YOUR-USERNAME
export MYFITNESSPAL_PASSWORD=YOUR-PASSWORD

Food Diary

Retrieve my macro intake for today

Assuming you've set your username and password in the environment (see MyFitnessPal Authentication above).

myfitnesspal food-diary 

Will return something like:
