From FatSecret to 17 Fit
Your days with calories and macros come over in a few minutes: export a file from FatSecret, open it in 17 Fit, and the format is recognised by itself.
1
In FatSecret
- On fatsecret.com open My Diet → Food Diary → Export (in the app: Me → Export).
- Pick the period and CSV.
- Save the file on your phone.
2
In 17 Fit
- Open Profile → Settings → Data → “Import from other apps”.
- Pick the file you saved: CSV, TXT or the ZIP archive.
- Check the days, and turn on “Replace days that already exist” if you want to overwrite days you’ve already logged.
- Import: the days appear in your diary.
What comes over
- Days with calories, protein, fat and carbs
- Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
- Energy in kilojoules, converted to kcal
- Every food as its own entry
What stays behind
- Body weight, workouts and water
- Vitamins and minerals
- Portion weights: the export counts in household servings, so each entry keeps its calories, not its grams
Questions and answers
Do I need a paid account in FatSecret?
The export is in the food diary on fatsecret.com (My Diet → Food Diary → Export) and in the app under Me → Export. If your account doesn’t show it, ask FatSecret for a copy of your data under the GDPR.
What happens to days I’ve already logged in 17 Fit?
They’re skipped, and their entries stay as they are. Turn on “Replace days that already exist” to overwrite them with the days from the file.
The file won’t open. What now?
17 Fit reads CSV, TXT and ZIP. If it’s a table the app doesn’t recognise, it shows you the columns and you pick which is which.
Will my weight and workouts come over?
No: only food — days, meals, calories and macros. Weight is quick to add again in the app.
