Let us input our own nutrition information
I say we should be able to correct/input nutritional information rather than the app guessing the facts. I often go through to correct it, because the number Lifesum puts in is wrong but you can’t click on it to correct it. I want 100% accuracy so I can see how much I’m staying in my calorie range

Add weight to the meal
Please write how much one of your portion is in grams, so if you’re a person that don’t eat much you can find the correct number of calories. :)

Improvement
There should be a way to add a meal from a previous day to today’s summary. As of now you have to add every ingredient individually when there should simply be a button to add a previous meal.

Low Budget + Meal Prep
Apply versions of a recipe. The basic version is the cheapest with the most crucial ingredients and the next version includes nice to haves with a reasoning why it can be added (flavour, good combination, effect on the body,…) and the add ons are sorted by price so when a diet is created, it is automatically low budget but every time you get the option to upgrade and create the perfect version for the occasion.
In combination, the meal planner should be adjusted for meal prepping if desired. Instead of a big shopping list for the week, you can shop smarter by buying more of one kind for less diverse meals and you could see in the shopping list the differentiation between crucial and optional ingredients.

Nutrition Facts/Label Order
Reorder data entry fields to match standardized macro order (Fats, Carbs, Protein) common in US/UK/EU. The food database being user-generated leaves room for errors; edits cannot be made on existing foods to correct them.

Allow Personal Food Creation
Why can’t I create my own foods without needing a barcode that is locked to your inaccurate database?
I have ingredients that I want to add specific accurate values for, like boiled red lentils, which I cannot add because you demand a barcode. The verified “Red Lentils” in your database has ridiculously high values.
Also, your database makes creating meals impossible because I can’t simply add my own ingredients and the final result is a meal that doesn’t exist in reality.
This is the only reason why I bought an annual subscription. I thought this feature was included.
Please explain to me how it makes sense that this feature is locked, or let me know how I can get my money back because I get more accurate calculations using a notepad and a calculator.

Average weekly weight
One of the common ways to track your weight when doing it manually is to average out the weight over all the days of the week to counteract the weight fluctuations that occur on a day to day basis.
Being able to see this in the app would make it much easier to see if the weight is moving in the desired direction.
Right now it can be a little confusing if the "one month ago" weight happens to have been on a low or high day with the fluctuations.3 votes -

Change color of dark widget
In iOS, dark mode widgets aren’t pitch black, but dark gray. It would look much better in even Lifesum’s widget adopted the default color.

Customize the start page to personal preferences
I would like to be able to choose what I want to see on the start page.

It would be nice if you could set up your own personal page like this.3 votes -

Integrate with Veri
Please integrate with Veri (continuous glucose monitor). I would like meals I track in Lifesum to be added to Veri, and values from Veri to be logged in Lifesum. Ideally even a meal score.
(Even better, create your own interface for a CGM, like Abbot’s Freestyle - but that would be a different feature request.)

Disable jumping to "today" when leaving the app
The iOS app jumps to today when leaving the app. Sounds like a good idea, but is a pain when using it. At least make a button for jumping back to today (like in the iOS calendar app).
In case you don't see the problems, let me list a few I experienced:
You add a meal for yesterday and have to google an ingredient? App jumps to today and therefore adds it to today’s calories.
You are in any other day and tap the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, like accidentally while typing? The app registers the slightest touch as leaving the app, you are in today's page.
You want to import a week of workouts from a third party app? Every time you take a look in multitasking view, you can jump back from today, to the day you want to be.
And the list goes on... but interestingly, if you jump to future days the app does not jump to today after leaving. Don't know if that is intended, but I prefer having the choice of using it or not.

Adjust the counted carbs for Erythritol
Even though erythritol doesn't have a chance to "metabolize" -- turn into energy in your body, the carbs are being counted. This means that we end up with more net carbs being counted than our bodies are actually getting.
Nutrition facts
Erythritol (1 serving) contains 4g total carbs, 0g net carbs, 0g fat, 0g protein, and 2 calories.3 votes -

Sync Lifesum with popular recipe sites that have already calculated nutritional information
If find it so helpful if I could directly link a meal to a recipe I have followed from BBC Good Food. I’m sure there are other websites that are also popular.
