Lifesum

Health applications are a great way to keep track of your weight and exercises, as well as calorie intakes especially during the hot season when people want to look their best.

One application that could help lose weight or build body mass is Lifesum. It's very lightweight and doesn't come with complicated features that would leave you confused after using the app. It sports a really nice design that users are bound to like.

Sleek UI with plenty to offer

The app launches directly with the tutorial, showing new users how to access all the neat features inside Lifesum. If you have an account, you can log in using your Google or Facebook profile.

If not, you'll have to go through the whole setup and pick a goal. Choose from goals focusing on eating and training for optimum health, losing weight or building muscle strength. You then need to provide the app with information on your date of birth and gender.

Next, you need to input your current height and weight and adjust the calorie intake that you must have each day so that you would reach your goal weight in due time.

Lose weight by counting your calories

The app lets you add meals easily, start with breakfast and input the type of meal that you've had so that it can tell you how many calories it contained. Tracked foods and exercises are connected to an email address, so you can check them at any time.

The whole concept behind this app is to count calories and lose weight by eating less and healthier. You can keep a food diary by simply inputting the meals that you eat and letting the app calculate the nutritional value for you. It has a whole database with lots of foods, but if you can't find something you can add it yourself, especially if it's something that you enjoy eating regularly.

More features

Use the app to keep track of exercises that you take, it will show you how many carbs, protein and fat you've eaten and how many calories you've burned. It also calculates the amount you need of each, but you do have to take into consideration that this is just a simple app and that it doesn't take into account the particularities of each person.

The UI uses material design, which makes it easy to add foods and you can even check out charts with your progress and track your water intake. The premium version lets you track additional measurements like waist, chest and arms. You can also import information from various other health applications like Google Fit or Withings.
