Lifesum The European alternative to MyFitnessPal

Lifesum is a nutrition and calorie tracking app from Swedish company Lifesum AB, headquartered in Stockholm. Users log meals through a food database or a barcode scanner and see calories and macronutrients. The app offers themed nutrition plans, for example keto, high protein, Mediterranean, or plant-based eating. Lifesum can connect to Apple Health and Google Fit and include activity data. The app is available for iOS and Android.

Lifesum AB is a Swedish stock corporation headquartered in Stockholm and falls under Swedish and European data protection law. Lifesum states in its policies that it processes data in line with the GDPR and, as is common in the industry, uses cloud providers such as AWS for backend operations. A full guarantee of EU-only hosting is not given in public documents. The company is, however, headquartered in the EU and all contractual relationships run through the Swedish entity. International transfers are covered by the standard contractual clauses.

Lifesum offers several themed plans tailored to different eating styles. These include keto and low-carb-oriented programmes. A high-protein plan focuses on protein-rich meals. Mediterranean-style plans emphasise vegetables, fish, and olive oil. There are also vegetarian and vegan programmes as well as shorter kickstart challenges, such as three weeks without sugar.
