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)

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, ...

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.

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…

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…

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!

Keto + intermittent fasting plan
Why not introduce a combo power plan that combines the fat burning magic of ketosis and the health benefits of intermittent fasting
Keto 75% F 20% P 5% C
Intermittent Fasting 16:8 every other day or 3 days a week that the user can define when setting up their plan262 votes -
Count calories per week
I want to be able to "save" calories some days and eat extra other days. Make it possible to see how many calories there are left the whole week next to the day calories.

Ability to copy all meals from previous days
For a "I eat the same thing every week"-person this is a neat feature.
For instance, on a Monday one should be able to copy all meals from last Monday (or any day) instead of having to add them one at a time.252 votesLifesum Team

Although not word for word what you suggested, we do have a recents function making it possible to add food you have previously tracked. I will keep this suggestion open however for future development of the function!

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!
Kind Regards,

Add option for progress pictures
Would be great with the possibility to add a "Before/After" picture under "measurements" to follow my results with the diet I've chosen.

Stop treating all fats as bad.
Stop treating all fats as bad. Your app makes me feel like shit for cooking with one tablespoon of avocado oil. Not all fats are bad, and a lot are necessary. It shouldn't be a frowny face food when I'm trying to hit my fat macros.

Combined food library.
At the moment Lifesum only lists the recent foods you ate in each category. This is stupid. Because what if you have something for lunch one night then eat it for dinner the next night?
This means you have to constantly enter the same foods over and over again in each of the different categories and Lifesum seems to have a short memory of the foods listed (two weeks?). MyFitnessPal keeps a combined library of everything you ever list so whatever meal you eat something for, it's much easier to recall the product and add it in again.
Such a…

Improve the 5:2 diet plan. Make goals adjustable. Also allow you to choose fasting days differently each week.
No reason goals should be locked. Was very disappointed after paying for a subscription. Also, I never know exactly which days will be fasting days until right before hand due to my work schedule. Fasting days should be selectable day by day as needed.

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.
