If you’re convinced that broccoli tastes best when you replace it with fast food right before you eat it, add Lifesum to your daily app diet. With its personalised diet and meal plans, nutritious recipes and calorie counting tool, it’s your companion to new, healthier routines where veggies and whole grains become staples on your plate.

Once you sign up to the app and select your goals, you can begin recording all of your meals by tapping the + icon on the app’s home screen (it’s a good starting point to see how balanced your diet actually is).

There’s a handy barcode scanner that allows you to accurately add the foods you’re eating, and everything saves under the Diary tab – this is also where you can see your calorie goal, which is based on whether you’re aiming to maintain or lose weight, build muscle or get fitter.

Lifesum goes further in helping you to strike the right balance in your diet with its Premium features. Under the Me tab, calculate your Life Score by answering a series of questions about your current eating habits and you’ll see where you rank on a scale from “off-track” to “perfect”. Lifesum will tell you more about your score and give you feedback on how to improve it.

Short on ideas for what to cook? The Recipe tab has an abundance of suggestions for simple, delicious and healthy meals. How about banana bread pancakes for breakfast, feta cheese and bean salad for lunch and broccoli fritters with radish salad for dinner? Yes you’ll be eating more broccoli, but in dishes packed with flavour. Each recipe also shows you the calorie total, making it easy to add to your daily food diary.

Whatever healthy habits you want to include in your daily routine, Lifesum will guide you every step of the way.
