Lifesum review

Lifesum is a good fit for people who want the app to hand them a plan rather than just a number. You share goals, preferences, restrictions and activity level, and it builds a nutrition plan, with lifestyles such as keto, paleo and high protein, meal plans with grocery lists and a large recipe library. Logging is flexible: the App Store listing names photo, voice, typed text, barcode scan and quick tracking. A weekly Life Score rates your eating, hydration and activity, and Apple Health sync works in both directions for food, water, weight and exercise. Lifesum says it has 65 million users. The free version is limited, and full features need a 1-month, 3-month or annual Premium subscription; we could not confirm a USD price with its billing period, so it is marked pending. It also does not publish a food database size, which matters if broad brand coverage is your priority.
