Import nutritional data from Apple Health
I often use an app that has hundreds of tasty healthy recipes and that app adds the nutritional data to apple health app at the tap of a button. Lifesum should import this data so I don't need to enter it separately.

Add alternatives for sodium / salt input
Judging by a lot of the data in the app, many people don't understand the difference between sodium and salt (either they thing 1g Salt = 1g Sodium, or they don't understand the difference between mg and g). Moreover in europe it's common to list Salt content (in g) in food labels rather than Sodium content.
Lifesum could help by having a Salt (g) and Sodium (mg) field and depedning on which is entered last, updating the other field automatically (factor of 1g salt = 400mg sodium)

Do not re enter exercise calories burned back into daily goals.
After I have hit my nutritional goals for the day, I add in my calories burned from exercise and all my nutritional goals are recalculated, wanting me to eat more than my original intake goal...It's a known fact that you shouldn't eat back calories burned but it seems that that is what Lifesum is wanting me to do. It's extremely confusing to see my goals change after I enter in my exercise. Calories burned should count towards my total deficit for the day, not added back to my intake goals. It would be extremely helpful if we could have the…

Track bowel movements.
Track bowel movements. This would be helpful for people who suffer from constipation or IBS. It would allow people to see how their bowel movements are affected by their diet.

Change color scheme for statistics
The color scheme for tracking the percentage of each type of calorie intake ( fats, carbs etc) and food composition ( see attached picture) can be changed. This can be replaced by a color scheme that includes more colors ( for instance, a red blue green scheme). It would invite far less confusion when it comes to identifying different parts of the graphs.

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!

Artificial Intelligence for recognizing food
Hello there,
The only reason I'm not using the app actively is because I'm lazy to log my food manually every time
Can you include artificial intelligence by recognizing foods pictures and automatically count calories like in this app : Calorie Mama AI : Food Photo Recognition & Counter by Azumio Inc.

For the premium membership, you could offer an option to pay monthly like Netflix, I can easily afford 4 dollars a month over 45 at once.

Viewing detailed, labelled historical weight loss data
It would be nice to see the weight graph and axis labelled for context. Right now it is too abstract. I don't enter my weight consistently at the same time. It could also be interesting to give people an option to overlay other data on the graph as well (calories burned, calories consumed, protein consumed, day rating etc).
Alternately, if I could at least see the date that I entered each weight, I would be happy without the visualization.
Maybe there's a way to do this, but I can't find this feature.

Scan nutritional information like you would a check or barcode
Create an algorithm that will scan the nutritional information off of a picture that the user would take using his or her phone to add new foods. This would be similar to making a mobile check deposit or scanning a QR code. I feel it would be best used when adding new foods so that the user doesn't have to input everything manually.

Hello Jonathan,
That is a great idea. We have some photo ideas, but looking at the tech industry it might instead be interesting to try and implement this idea in the technology that will hopefully be standard on a phone in a few years!

Calorie in vs calorie burn
It would be much more relevant to see the total number of calories eaten instead of just burned. This, as the Fitbit app does, would show you if you've eaten more than you've burned, or less, or if you're right on. This must be so easy to implement!

Sync Enable With Samsung GearFit 2
It is great Lifesum can sync to my S HEALTH account. Now if it would sync with my GearFit 2 smart watch, that would be even greater. I realize some items are synced between Lifesum and GearFit 2 via S Health but when useing my GearFit 2 in stand alone for exercise or walking it syncs to S-Health after a connection is made. This isn't the case with GearFit 2 to Lifesum. I would like all my exercise routines synced to Lifesum from my GearFit 2.

Nutrition diary download
It would be nice if there was a posibility to get your Nutrition diary as a PDF or similar. It is nice for a parallel Health coaching/food advice.

remove the multiple entries of the same food type
Too many times you can search for a food item and get a dozen results for the same food. Often these contain incorrect nutritional information as well so you have to search through to find the right one or edit the information. Whilst it is possible to scan the barcode, not all product entry is done this way whilst the fridge and freezer are open so you can scan the correct barcode.

Better analysis tools
It would be great with better analysis tools to compare nutrients over time. For example, average daily carbohydrate intake over week, month etc. Or average saturated and unsaturated fat.
The app is great, but without more analysis tools it kind of loses its purpose over time and I wonder why you log all this data if I cannot analyze it properly.
