LifeUm — Nutrition Navigator

LifeUm is a smart food diary and a science-based dietary navigator. The app tracks not only calories but also over 70 nutrients; it calculates a daily nutritional quality score and suggests specific foods to help you address your unique nutritional gaps. Key Features of LifeUm Smart Food Diary Log your meals without the hassle: simply snap a photo of your plate, and AI identifies the foods and dishes. You can also add items manually from the database of foods and recipes—each entry includes a detailed nutritional breakdown (vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, etc.). Nutrient Analysis and Nutritional Quality Score LifeUm tracks more than just calories and macros (proteins, fats, and carbs); it monitors dozens of micronutrients, ranging from Vitamin D and magnesium to Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. The Nutritional Quality Score (NQS) shows how balanced your daily diet is, highlighting deficiencies and excesses. If you exceed safe limits (e.g., for Vitamin A or iron), the app warns you of potential risks and suggests dietary adjustments. Nutrition Dashboard The main screen displays your nutrition assessment, NQS trends, and detailed statistics: average nutrient intake, carbohydrate composition, the Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio, and the proportion of different food groups (vegetables, fruits, meat, snacks) in your diet. Your food diary transforms from a simple log into a tool for mindful eating. Personalized Food Recommendations LifeUm suggests what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to bring your Nutritional Quality Score closer to the ideal and meet your key nutrient needs. These recommendations are tailored to your dietary preferences, weight goals, habits, and current daily intake data. Family Mode and Shared Meal Plans LifeUm features a "Family" mode: you can add family members, account for different ages and goals, and create shared meal plans and shopping lists. Family mode makes it easy to improve eating habits together without the hassle. Gamification: Health Bonuses To help you stick to the habit of keeping a food diary, LifeUm uses gamification: a system of levels, challenges, and bonuses rewards honest tracking and high-quality nutrition. Mindful eating becomes more engaging. Highly Personalized Meal Plans When creating meal plans, LifeUm considers around 90 parameters: height, weight, goals (weight loss, maintenance, or gain), activity level, dietary type, chronic conditions, cuisine preferences, budget, and more. Every plan is unique; the app avoids cookie-cutter plans and "one-size-fits-all" calorie targets. Scientific Basis and Credibility LifeUm is powered by the Nutrient Planner engine—a professional tool for nutritional analysis and personalization that is used by the medical community and has undergone clinical validation. Calculations for the food diary and nutritional value scores rely on data from the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology and the USDA, ensuring a detailed and accurate assessment of the composition of meals and foods.
