Analyzing Lifesum: Healthy Living App

Lifesum is an Android app that promises to be a personalized health and lifestyle guide. Regarding the design, the interface is attractive: fresh, minimalist and intuitive.

User Experience

As soon as you download it, you get your profile from some basic data: age, weight, height and waist circumference; and also of food needs and preferences (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan diet, rich in fiber, low in sodium, ..)

You can personalize it by adding a photo. You can also interact with other users by sharing experiences, recipes and opinions.

From here on, a daily caloric value and recommended intakes and the desirable distribution of carbohydrates, proteins and fats are established.

After completing your profile, you can start filling in your diet, hydration and exercise diary.

The app offers you 5 options when entering your intakes: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. You choose one and you start to enter the foods or recipes. You have the option to search for them from the barcode, locate them in a file by categories, in a search engine and even create them.

You also have a test of food preferences and healthy habits (Life Score).

From a holistic point of view, the application aims to be your nutritional coaching, after each intake you will find a suggestion or a motivating phrase to facilitate your goals. What I like most about this aspect of the application is the moderation and positivity of the message.

It is a free application, although you can become Premium by paying a stipulated monthly amount thus being able to access its extra services:

Prescriptions.
Specialized diets.
More information on the dietary content of foods (types of fat, fiber, sodium, potassium, cholesterol and type of sugars).
Weekly advice for improvement in relation to lifestyle, diet and sport habits.
It measures more parameters, body fat, chest and arm circumference. This allows us to better define our needs.
This app is synchronized with other exercise apps, such as Google Fit and S Health, which can be an incentive when using it, to make it more complete.

Lifesum App Review - Test

I try Lifesum, I enter my data: My result is 1591 kcal / day to maintain my healthy weight. I do the test entering nutrients and exercise. My usual intake is around 1900kcal, discounting the extra expense for exercise. The difference is about 300kcal.

It didn't take me long to get the hang of introducing food, swiping the barcode helps. I discover that I can create my own meals (my breakfast of toast with oil, ..). Take a look at the recipes, international cuisine.

He reminds me to drink a little more water and congratulates me on my walk. He also tells me that I have gone a bit with the intake, but that by moderating the portions a little more I am on the right track. Who is not motivated like this?

On the other hand, the less attractive aspects:

Having to pay for extra services.
The cookbook is not available in Spanish. The one that is international food, a bit far from our very rich Spanish culinary tradition.
The recommended caloric and macronutrient balance should be only a rough guide. The percentage of fat and muscle is not measurable with the required parameters.
In my opinion it is not comparable with the personal assessment of a nutritionist.
