Why pick healmeal
If you're brand new to nutrition and want a plan to follow, Lifesum is fine for the first month. If you want a tracker you'll still use on day ninety, switch to healmeal.
What you get with healmeal
Lifesum bundles keto, Mediterranean, 5:2, paleo plans into the tracker. Useful for the first three to four weeks when you don't yet know what to eat. After that, most people are picking their own meals and the plan layer adds friction to a logging flow that should be invisible.
healmeal is built for the post-beginner. Camera-first logging means a meal goes in your day in seconds. The menu scanner handles eating out. Verbal description handles the awkward middle. The barcode is there when needed. Whichever method is fastest, the macros land and you move on.
Around that core sit the things that keep the habit going. Thirteen iOS widgets surface today's calories, protein, water, steps, streak, and weight directly on the home screen and Lock Screen. Personalised notifications fire only when you're behind on something you set, not on a daily quiz schedule. Fewer features, used daily, beats more features used for a week and forgotten.
Switch to healmeal.
Snap a photo, scan a barcode, point at a menu, or describe a meal in words. Whichever is fastest. On the App Store.
