What is Reddit's opinion of Lifesum: Calorie Counter, Food & Nutrition Tracker?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Most apps aren't following MD guidelines anymore... And I don't think that's bad. For me, Lifesum it's one of the most beautiful apps in Play Store, and it's design is a mix of iOS design + MD elements

Try the Lifesum app. It's free. You can scan the food packages to get very accurate calories. If you want the excact calories you'll need a scale.

Have you tried Lifesum or Calorie Counter?

Thanks for pointing out lifesum, I'll check it out. MFP's ads have been annoying lately, let's see if lifesum can compete with MFP's very extensive catalogue of foods.

Edit: after setting it up, I can see it lacks a fundamental feature for me: the ability to export my food diary. That's a dealbreaker unfortunately, otherwise it seems just as good and certainly better looking than MFP.

Ich habe dafür Lifesum genommen. Hatte es aber nur 3 Wochen benutzt, dann hatte ich ungefähr ein Gefühl dafür was wieviel Kalorien hat.

Erkenntnis dabei: auf Süßigkeiten und das gelegentliche Feierabendbier verzichten. Salat sättigt auch ohne Brot dazu, und insgesamt öfter mal Salat und Gemüse statt Backwaren/Nudeln/Kartoffeln

Fit should take activity from the phone and watch and normalize the data, so it would only count one of them. I have a similar setup, and Fit acts normally. I have not ever seen duplicate steps/activities in Fit.

But...I had a lot of issues with MFP and ended up switching to Lifesum for food tracking. It has Fit integration and pulls in calories much more reliably:

I assume you're referring to myfitnesspal premium and the feature where you set your macronutrients by gram (and quick add meals by macros vs just calories)? Have you looked at lifesum and joy health tracker? Lifesum lets you adjust macros in the free version. Joy has a better database and the dev is actually responsive (and he's a redditor) and is $2/mo. I like joy the most but I used lifesum before that and found it really solid, the only thing that turned me off was the way the handle tracking homecooked foods/recipes, it just seemed clunky and you couldn't bypass the step by step instructions page without inputting something.

I use Lifesum without subscribing.

Lifesum is a really great health tracking app, and is a brilliant example of material design.

Lifesum is free and very good.

Here's the google play link.

I can strongly recommend the app Lifesum. You input your info like age, weight, height etc. Then you set a goal weight and how fast you want to reach that goal and it will calculate an estimate amount of calories / day for you. It will also ask you to update your weight as you go on and then adjust your daily allowed calorie intake depending on your weight loss.

This tool should at least help you decide how "much" to eat. You can then choose from a bunch of diets in the app if you want to later on.

I realize this ended up sounding like a commercial now :) but i just want to help, I've been using it for more than a year but from the other way (gaining weight) and it works great for me.

I think S-Health also does some diet/food tracking, which Lifesum could handle (and syncs with Google Fit):
