Watch out for
- Deleting your MyFitnessPal account is permanent and can't be undone.
- The help centre says it can take up to 72 hours for the email system to remove you from its rotation, so you may still get a message or two.
- If you log in with Facebook, MyFitnessPal has a separate help page about Facebook deletion, so read it before you remove either account.
- If the delete option doesn't work for you, MyFitnessPal support can delete the account on your behalf.
What stays out there
Deleting the account removes your profile at MyFitnessPal. It doesn't reach copies that other companies hold, such as advertising and data brokers that may have profiled you from the same email and phone number.
A fitness or food diary is health-adjacent data, and it's the kind of thing you don't want attached to a people-search profile. Serus finds where your details are listed on those sites and removes them. It doesn't delete accounts or change settings inside apps, so the account deletion above is yours to do.
