Lifesum: Food Tracker & Diet 12+

Perfect tracking app

I read others reviews of how beautiful this app is, everything I read was true. It is so easy to use and has so many features to customize to you need: meal plans, pre-calculated macros, recipes. I love that it counts down how many macros you have left and it offers several barand percentage graphs to track your progress . It also compares your daily intake to your stated goal intake. I used Lose It before and it was fine, but this one is way easier and faster and even after 3 days I’m already making better choices because I enjoy tracking and I want to get that smilie face that days Balanced lol it sounds a bit strange I know but it’s just another tool to encourage you to stick to your goals. I could not love this app any more . The developers obviously put a lot of thought into this and it’s just a delight to use. I have a family so I don’t have time to mess around with complicated tracking apps and this one makes it possible for me to stick to my goals while loving a real life. It is sustainable and I look very forward to the results I get because someone created this incredible app. Thank you so so much developers. It’s already hard enough to work, have a family, and then try to eat healthy and workout? It’s a lot and you make it possible. Thank you

Beautiful and easy to use with some adaptability issues

First of all, the visual design of this app is incredible. Other similar apps have designs that make it feel outdated, which in turn can make the data or plans feel outdated even when that’s not true. Gorgeous color scheme, icons, motion design, etc, and lots of great features like the barcode scanner and ability to quickly select previous days’ meals.
However, there’s a few issues with how the tracker adapts to your daily activity. The app will add to my remaining calories if I’ve been active that day, but the macros that it has set will not adapt with them. For example, it tells me to eat 120g of protein per day, but yesterday I happened to be super active and had 1000 more calories I could eat. Even though I had a huge amount of calories left, my macros didnt adjust, so I had a bright red indicator on my macros for going over even when I really should’ve eaten more. For how much I love the rest of the app I really dislike how those goals stay static.
I also wish it could connect to Fitbit with a little more detail- I don’t use Apple Heath to track my steps and wish it could detect steps, type of workout (like weight training), etc from the Fitbit app.
All in all, I love this app and would absolutely recommend it to everyone, just be aware that it’s okay to ignore the bright red macro counter if you’ve done a lot of activity and need to eat more that day.
