Garmin Adds Built-In Nutrition Tracking to Connect for Connect+ Subscribers

The subscription places food logging inside Garmin’s ecosystem to connect eating habits with training outcomes.

Overview

  • The feature is live in Garmin Connect, offering calorie and macronutrient goals with personalized targets based on user profile and measured activity.
  • Food can be logged via a global database, barcode scanning, AI photo recognition, manual entry, and saved custom foods or meals.
  • Compatible Garmin watches show quick nutrition overviews and let users log favorite or recent items, with voice access on select models.
  • Active Intelligence provides AI-generated insights that relate nutrition to sleep and workouts, alongside daily, weekly, monthly and annual summaries and a performance dashboard.
  • Access requires the $6.99-per-month Connect+ plan, with a 30-day free trial for new users and a limited 14-day re-trial; early reviews praise convenience but report photo-based portion estimates often miss the mark, which Garmin says it aims to improve.
