What it does
Lifesum combines a food diary, nutrient views, meal plans and habit records. Its documented meal-entry methods include photo, voice, typed, barcode and quick entry, with wearable connections for supported devices.
Start with the standard diary if you want to search for foods or scan a package barcode. Lifesum's traditional tracking mode is available to all users and organizes entries into meal sections. Photo, voice and descriptive-text logging belong to the paid AI Tracking feature.
Premium also adds adjustable calorie and macronutrient goals, meal plans, fuller nutrient details and the complete recipe library. That makes the distinction more useful than simply comparing the number of logging methods: decide whether manual recording is enough or whether you need those additional planning tools. The water, fruit and vegetable trackers provide a separate view of repeated daily habits.
