Describe the solution you'd like

So far there are no integrations for meals, so its done on averages for type of diet. MyFitnessPal is one of the most popular food trackers around (after maybe Cronometer, but that's not got an API).

This might be tricky, because despite having very specific food items like Amish Potato Salad, it doesn't know if its meat or fish or anything like that.

It might need to be a new type of integration, and I've not thought it through the whole way, but this would reduce a more manual part of the application right now.

Would you would be willing to share your login info to the developer Not a user yet, but I could start entering test data and share that.

Additional context

I spoke to support about it, seeing if they'd offer API integration. They seem... not completely disinterested.

Thanks for reaching back out. As you indicated, the MyFitnessPal API is currently a closed API, available only to previously approved developers.

We do hope to eventually work with more developers in the health community, but at the moment, we are not ready to open access of the API to everyone. If the developers of the North app are interested in integrating with us, they can send an email to: https://uacfsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

We will review their request, and if in the future we do reopen the API, and feel there may be an interest, we will reach back out to them.

@sorensvejstrup did they just ignore your efforts to get access tokens or did something else happen?
