Great app, be careful of orthorexia – Lifesum Food Tracker & Fasting Review

I’ve used this app on and off for the past 4 years and I love the clean, simple design and it’s super easy to use. I highly recommend the premium version if you are struggling with meal prepping and tracking macros, but if you’re just looking to track what you’re eating or calories then the free option is great! What prevents me from giving this app 4 stars is that some of the language has the potential to trigger or invoke disordered eating or orthorexia. There is a lot of use of “good, bad, great, etc.” when it comes to meal and day ratings and there isn’t an option to turn these ratings off. While I understand it’s helpful for people struggling to make healthy choices, that kind of language can also create unhealthy mindsets when it comes to diet and nutrition. I do not recommend this app for those sensitive to or recovering from EDs!
