Garmin's New AI Nutrition Tracker Transforms Diet and Fitness Monitoring

Garmin has introduced an AI-powered nutrition tracker within its Connect app. The feature was revealed at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, demonstrating how users can now monitor their diet alongside fitness data. It is available as part of the Garmin Connect+ subscription, priced at $6.99 per month.

The new tool allows users to log meals and track nutrient intake directly from their Garmin smartwatches. Voice commands speed up the process, while an AI-driven image recognition system helps identify foods. By comparing images with a vast food database, the system aims to enhance accuracy over manual entry.

Despite the technology, portion sizing remains a challenge for the AI. Users can still adjust measurements themselves to refine the data. The feature also generates comprehensive reports, comparing calorie targets with actual consumption.

Garmin showcased the tracker in Las Vegas, highlighting its usefulness in locations with diverse food choices. The move aligns with broader industry trends, where apps like SpeakFit AI and DietTrack AI have adopted similar photo-scanning and voice-input methods for diet tracking.

The nutrition tracker is now accessible for Garmin Connect+ subscribers. It combines AI image recognition with user adjustments to monitor dietary habits. The tool provides another layer of data for those tracking health and fitness through Garmin devices.
