  1. Upload recipes from browser

    I love this app, but I really wish I could type in a URL and Lifesum would automatically parse the ingredients. MyFitnessPal does this, and it's a game changer.

  2. 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,
    Alec

  3. Summary

    It wold be great to have a weekly, monthly and annual summary of what one have eaten.

    This to see the percentage of fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats and fish.

    It's one thing to eat according to calories, but is it overall healthy eating in the long run?

    Would love to have this feature.

    Kind regards, Rita

  4. 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.

    Good idea, thank you for your feedback. Will take it up to discussion.

  5. 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.

    I would really like to have the feature back where you can see how long it takes to lose weight I miss it very much :-)

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. Copy Foods or meals to different days

    It would be better the app had the basic copy and paste function to copy meals or foods from one day to another. That makes weekly or monthly meal plans easier to design on the app

  10. 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.

  11. Moving already added foods

    Problem,

    You sat there and added your whole meal, then you realize you added it to your breakfast rather than your lunch

    There seems to be no way of moving a food from one area to another.
    Please add this.. It's frustrating to look up each food again and add it all over

  12. Import water data from Health App

    I use other software to track my water consumption, and that app exports the data to the iPhone Health app.

    It’d be awesome if Lifesum could import water data from the Health App, it would make things much easier.

  13. Allow users to filter the display of foods by verified, general user entered and those I entered myself

    The user entered food database is very unreliable. A filtering feature would enable the user to focus on the verified ones

  15. Option to edit own recipes

    You should be able to modify recipes that you’ve made or want to log from the recipe book. Alternatively, being able to duplicate and modify Lifesum recipes to customize them for more accurate logging

  16. Show grams as default option

    When logging an item I would like to be able to choose the default measurement shown, across the board. For example I would like to have all foods default shown to me in grams and not whatever “serving” the manufacturer or random inputted suggested.

  18. New category: Supplements

    More and more users (mainly people building muscles) contact us and ask for an own category for these items. The suggestion to put these things under kitchen cupboard/others does not satisfy them.
