Search food by protein, fat, carbohydrates
When I want to add food for my lunch, dinner etc it would be very helpful if it was possible to search or sort food/nutritients which contains f.ex over 12 grams of protein pr 100 g. This would make it much easier to see which kind of nutritients I should buy for my meals to keep the protein levels high.
Or to be able to search food/nutrients by levels of protein, fat, carbohydrates (red, green, grey)

Same Barcode, many foods
Let as register the same barcode with many foods. This is helpful with foods in the same box but with different nutrition information (yogurts fox example). Thank you!

Possibility to add a measure to an exisiting food entry
Some food entries have weird/meaningless measures (eg : 1 spoon, 1 normal serving, ...), we should be able to add a meaningful quantity : grammes, 1 tin, ...

Allow users to rate user submitted foods for nutrition accuracy
The current user submitted database is filled with wild amounts of inaccurate data entries to the point I find I have to create my own foods most of the time unless the item is non-user submitted.
By allowing users to rate the accuracy of a user entered food item it would help others make better choices when adding foods to their food log.
One suggestion would be to not rate by star values but instead to show an percentage rating based on the volume of upvotes or down votes.

Replace information stored on barcode
When an item saved to a barcode is incorrect, one should be allowed to replace it with the correct information, verified with a picture of the nutritional information sent to Lifesum.

Change the Diary Colour back
Love this app BUT please please return the main menu to Green color it's one of the reasons why I loved it cause green is a very positive color instead of the anxious read that you have programmed with the latest update..Furrhemore when I go to see my intake details this magenta like color confuses me and the :fat/ carbs/ protein are not easily distinguished

Hello everyone,
I switched the name so that more people can find it. This really seems to be an issue for a lot of people, so we will probably see a large increase in votes in the next week or so. Thank you everyone for making your feedback known!
Kind Regards,

Connect to Strava
Import exercise data from Strava (app used a lot by cyclists, a very weight conscious group).
Really good would be to upload health info to Strava too.

Get restaurant support (like MFP)
I'd like to be able to search for a restaurant (Chipotle, for example). That would then bring up a page of chipotle's menu, to which you could pick and choose what you ordered to be able to quickly enter your meal in.

What's in the fridge
It would be nice to be able to scan Foods in your fridge and have a meal plan built for you according to what diet you're on. It is very hard to come up with keto meals with foods that normal people eat. Just don't have watercress and feta cheese laying around.

Support bone mass, muscle mass, body fat percentage and water content when adding weight values
It is great to see that the interaction of weight values with Apple Health now finally works. I know that it is easy for someone who did not previously provide any feedback to say "it should have worked before"; however, it is great to see it fully implemented and working properly.
My scales, which I have had for some years, track not only weight (mass) but also bone mass, muscle mass, body fat percentage and water content, and I have been trying to find an app that allows me to track these parameters on my iPhone and integrate with Apple Heath. Apple Heath itself only supports "weight" and body fat percentage, not bone mass, muscle mass or water content, so tracking the additional parameters is currently "meaningless" from the perspective of Apple Health, at least until such time as these parameters are added. However, because I have the data available to me, I still want to track it.
Despite extensive search, I have not yet found an app that allows me both to track this data and integrate with Apple Health. iBody and iLoseWeight, both from ihanwel, both support all of these parameters, but currently have no integration at all with Apple Health.
I currently use iCardio, which supports tracking of weight, which it passes through to Apple Health, and body fat percentage, which for some reason it does not. It also has a "notes" feature, for adding additional comments to logged entries, which I use for manually adding these extra parameters. However, it is just a plain text field, and the only tracking that I can do is visually.
If Lifesum were able to also allow tracking of body fat percentage and feed it through to Apple Health, and even better bone mass, muscle mass and water content, that would make the weight tracking feature much more useful to me, and also make it unique among lifestyle/fitness trackers.

Allow users to update/correct starting weight
When I started tracking my weight lose I weighed 215lbs. Somewhere along the way, the app set my starting weight to 195 (likely user error). Now, I cannot “correct” my starting weight and it feels like I am not getting the motivational credit of all the weight I already lost.
A simple option to “update” my starting weight would likely help those who discover lifesum during their weight loss journey, as well, to track weight already lost.

Weekly progress summary
In order to get a good grasp on progress, weekly summaries would really help. How many calories was my intake compared to my goal this week? When will I reach my weight goal with this tempo?
The app is really good on a day-to-day basis, but it would be nice to get a better overview, and therefor a better understanding of your own progress.

Improve food database
Lifesum is prettier than the alternatives but without a reliable database of foods it's no better than a spreadsheet or even, God forbid, myfitnesspal.
- Let people take photos of the nutritional label and parse those (there are standard types around the world)
- Try to find similar foods and merge them. Where data differs, note as much.
- Make it easier to work around others' inability to interpret labels correctly (by automating de-duplication, importing bulk research data like the USDA database).
- Make it easier to use volumetric units (more easily approximated than mass). This has to be done at food creation time to make sure people think about entering it.
- Make crowd-sourced data trivial to provide. Adding foods is currently cumbersome.

Cheat Day
I hate seeing the little red bars when I go to the "Me" section. I have cheat days/Refeeding days every so often, it would be awesome to be able to set a day as a "Refeeding Day" or something of the like. Maybe even set caloric intakes different for different days.
Thanks!
