How MyPlate Tracker works

3. Watch your plate fill
Your calorie ring and MyPlate plate update instantly, so you always know what the day still needs.
Is MyPlate Tracker really free?
Yes. Core tracking — logging meals, your calorie ring, plate balance, and your full unlimited history — is free with a MyPlan account. A future MyPlan Plus tier may add optional extras like weekly insights and automation.
Is there a free MyPlate calorie tracker?
MyPlate Tracker is a free daily calorie and food-group tracker. Get your personal targets from the MyPlate Plan calculator, then log meals in two taps and watch your calorie ring and plate fill in. It's free with a MyPlan account, with unlimited history.
What replaced the USDA SuperTracker?
The USDA retired SuperTracker — its free online diet and activity tracker — in 2018, and retired the MyPlate.gov website in January 2026. MyPlate.food is an independent project that preserves the MyPlate-format calorie and food-group tracking those tools were built around, grounded in the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020–2025). It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the USDA.
How do I track calories with MyPlate?
Get your daily targets from the free MyPlate Plan calculator — a calorie goal plus an amount for each of the five food groups. Then log each meal in MyPlate Tracker in two taps; your calorie ring and plate update as you go, so you can see how the day compares to your goal.
How many calories should I eat per day?
Your daily calorie needs depend on your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. The MyPlate Plan calculator estimates them using the National Academies' Estimated Energy Requirement equations and translates the number into MyPlate food-group amounts you can track against.
