When you are using Lifesum for the first time you will start on the "Lifesum Standard" Program. This gives you the most open and balanced version of Lifesum. 
 
But the Premium membership offers far more Programs and Meal Plan options to reach your goal.

There's a Program and/or Meal Plan for every need!
 
In order to change from the "standard" setting (every new user starts on the Lifesum Standard Program) to any other Program or Meal Plan, please proceed as follows:
 
On the tab bar at the bottom of the app, you see an icon showing an apple called "PROGRAMS". Clicking on it you will show you all available Programs and Meal Plan options for your goal (lose weight, maintain weight, gain weight) and you should either be able to change from one Programs or Meal Plan to another or edit settings in a Program or Meal Plan that you're already using by clicking on the Program or Meal Plan in question.
 
Please note: There are different Programs and Meal Plans offered per goal.
 
In order to help our users make informed decisions and feel healthier every single day, Lifesum is now offering a varied collection of Programs & Meal Plans. Each Program & Meal Plan helps you achieve your specific healthy lifestyle goal beyond counting calories. All Programs & Meal Plans come with feedback to celebrate your wins and help you get back on the right track when you make mistakes, along with recipes to inspire healthier cooking.
