Show net carbs
It would be nice if in the LCHF diet plan specifically, it could show net carbs (carbs - dietary fiber) rather than all carbs. Or have a toggle option so someone can turn that on/off as they like. This would be helpful for those following the ketogenic lifestyle.
1,336 votesThe net carbs option has just been released both on iOS and Android. Thank you very much for your patience and your votes!

Ability to add own recipes, meals, food items
Maybe this already in the app, but I wasn't able to find it. I make a lot of my own food. I would like to be able to enter the recipe or import it from a source and get the nutritionals available for use in the Lifesum diary as food I've consumed.
Thanks!
731 votesThank you very much for reaching out!
You find the option to create your own recipes, meals or/and food items under Me / Favorites in the app.

We are happy to announce that it is now possible to limit recipe suggestions to vegan/vegetarian by doing the Health test in the app. If you add there that you are vegan/vegetarian you will only see relevant recipes in the app. If you have already done the test earlier and would like to have these settings active, please redo the test.
We will now this request and open a new request just for allergies: https://lifesum.uservoice.com/forums/274566-feedback-ideas/suggestions/17099266-please-add-an-option-in-the-app-for-allergies-lac
Please feel free to leave your vote there so we get a feeling for how many users are still interested in such a feature. Thank you!

Add paleo diet
Eating paleo has a different set of specifics than HFLC and standard diets. Adding this to take into account that the calories and all that may be higher, even when losing weight, would make this app more useful to us who eat paleo.
382 votesHi there,
Thank you very much for voting!
You now find the Paleo meal plan when setting your goal to “lose weight”.

Streaks.
Please add streaks. It’s the real downside about using Lifesum over MFP. There’s nothing motivating the user to not miss a day.
338 votesDear Lifesummers,
We are very happy to inform you that this has been implemented in the meantime.

Add quick-tracking macros (fat, protein, carbs)
Currently, the option to quick-track food is only providing the fields title + kcal
An improvement is to also add fat + protein + carbs for quick tracking when the user has this data available

We are happy to announce that we have implemented the macro quick tracking! :)

Make a meal out what i ate
After i finish entering everything i ate for lunch or dinner, add a feature to create a meal in my favorites out of all the items i logged.
278 votesHi there,
You find that option by clicking into the meal and then top right on the heart icon – you will then be able to create a meal of the food items tracked and save it under Favorites.

Capability to switch food from one meal to another or a whole meal from one day to another
That would be especially useful when mistakes are made with data entry, or when the app misbehaves.
266 votesHello!
We have solved this by having a recents section in every meal tracking. Thank you all for voting!
Kind Regards,

recipe database
could you please finally implement a recipe database where we at least could choose between all "meal suggestions" which are daily shown in the app? just something like weight watchers has, a big recipe database which is growing and fully accessible at least for gold members. that would make planning the daily meals a lot easier instead of looking up recipes on the internet and add them by hand in lifesum. Thank you! :)
149 votesHey everyone,
As we now have a whole tab we’re continuously working on named “Recipes” where you easily can access a whole bunch of recipes and filter them by using tags in the top.
Hope you all like them! Reach back to me if something’s unclear.
Best regards,

Being able to correct incorrect items in the food database yourself
Currently the user can just edit the items under My Things he/she created himself/herself but it would be very helpful if you could correct also incorrect items of other users in the database instead of just reporting it.
134 votesHey users!
I can gladly inform that since the latest version of the app which is 5.5.0 out on App Store (or 3.4.15 for Android users on Google Play) we’ve improved the Edit Food flow which gives you users the access to correct incorrect items!
Please try it out and let us know what you think.

Manual entry of barcode
Sometimes a barcode might be crumpled or torn, such that the barcode scanner is not able to read it. In such circumstances it would be really good to be able to enter the barcode manually by typing in the numbers.
113 votesWe have improved the overall performance of the scanner both on iOS and Android:
- faster scanning
- option to switch the flash on/off in the scanner window
- if the scanner is unable to recognize a code you can now manually enter the code!
- as requested by many the barcode beeping sound is now history :) -
Please translate recipes also to languages like Russian, Italian and Spanish
I think that all the person don't know English. It's difficult prepare cooking recipes in other language and I think also that's all country have tipical dishes please adjust recipes

Keto meal plan
A meal plan to match the chosen diet (with a shopping list) should be available with premium. A keto plan is very hard to accomplish in terms of carb intake and the only thing stopping me is the lack of a meal plan that keeps me in my daily range of carbs and calories while getting enough fat. This feature would hopefully search and compile recipes based on matching stats and a shopping list would compile ingredients for a week of groceries (or whatever time frame the user selects).
61 votesHi there,
Thank you for voting!
In the meantime you can find two keto meal plans:
- Keto Burn > https://lifesum.helpshift.com/a/lifesum---healthier-eating-better-living/?s=plans-nutrition&f=keto-burn&l=en
- Keto Maintain > https://lifesum.helpshift.com/a/lifesum---healthier-eating-better-living/?s=plans-nutrition&f=keto-maintain&l=enBest,

Create food by portion weight
When creating a new food, you specify a portion weight and then add nutritional information per 100g. However, frequently I don't know the nutritional info for 100g, only for the portion, e.g per pack, per bar, etc.) I then have to divide 100 by the pack weight and multiply each value by this amount to work out the values per 100g. It would be much better if Lifesum were to enter calories etc per portion, not just per 100g.
40 votesHey Jacob and Alexander, this is actually available to do as of the latest version out on App Store/Google Play.
When creating a new food item or editing an exisiting food item, as long as you know how much your portion/serving weighs we do the calculation in the serving/portion instead per 100g.
Reach back to me if something is unclear!

Add a water widget
It would be nice to have a water widget on the home screen. Instead of having to find my Lifesum app and waiting for it to load, I could have a water widget on my home screen and every time I drink I can just click it. Also, it should have a reminder every hour to drink water.
39 votesHey Jamie,
We’ve implemented a widget that lets you track water among other stuff on Android (which is the client that supports adding widgets to the homescreen, iOS don’t).
Please try it out!

Make it possible to search in the recipe database and not only use the hashtags
