I love that this supports different types of diets! I have a friend that does 5:2 and she quit using myfitnesspal because it was useless for her fast days.
Fantastic team (@henrikt, the CEO is an investor in my company @spartasales) working on a truly "big" problem.
One question I'd post to @henrikt and the rest of the team in here which I'm sure everyone else would like to hear answered.
How do you think about retention, given that users are required to do a lot of manual work? Have you uncovered anything interesting here or have you figured out any clever ways to get people to continuously use the app multiple times per day?
I'm sure plenty of other entrepreneurs could benefit from some insight here!

@jamesepember I think that's something which happens automatically for apps like that. I see a lot of people using myfitnesspal and the reason they come back to the app is that they want to know what kind of macros they have left and how much more they have to eat.
That being said, I'm referring to people which do sports a lot and need to keep track of their calories and macros. I think the biggest hurdle is to get used to it, which should take that long.
Key for helping our users succeed in changing their lifestyles for the better is motivation and guidance. If we succeed in delivering that, more users will succeed and that will increase retention.

Hey there!
I was browsing Reddit like a couch potato when I stumbled upon a picture from r/progresspics. It was really impressive to see someone go from fat/unhealthy to fit and full of life. Following the comments on that post I downloaded Lifesum.
I’ve now been using Lifesum on a daily basis for about 3 months. It has helped me learn how to not over-eat (which I was apparently doing) and drink water (instead of bottles of Coke).
It never occurred to me to post such a product here but I must admit it’s a well designed (from an UX and visual design perspective) and it can help you to get healthy, so why not?
