Lifesum won't let me track my energy levels without paywalling it, wtf?

TL;DR: Lifesum paywalled energy tracking, looking for alternatives.

Yo, so I was vibin' with Lifesum for tracking my cals, but now they want me to fork out cash just to see my energy levels? That's just lame, fam. I tried Cronometer for a hot minute, but the food database was super sketch. Why can't I just get an app that doesn't try to rob me blind for basic features? Anyone else dealing with this struggle? 馃槫

Paywalls can be frustrating, I get it. But honestly, I still stick with MFP. Sure, it's a bit annoying now and then, but the food list is dialed in and it has all my muscle memory saved. Can't beat that familiarity when you're trying to stay consistent. Plus, I know how to navigate it like the back of my hand.

Lmao, the energy levels paywall is the worst! Like, come on, it's just data about how tired I am. 馃槀 But honestly, I get that apps gotta make money, I just wish they'd be more upfront about it. It's like they expect us to pay just to know how we feel.

Bro, this paywall is straight-up cringe! Just let me track my gains without breaking the bank, ya feel?

I get your frustration. It's super annoying when apps start charging for features that used to be free. Lifesum was my go-to for a while, but I switched to MacroFactor. The algorithm really works for me, and it's worth the $80 a year when I see how easy it makes tracking my progress. Have you tried it yet?

Honestly, I switched to Nutrola, and the photo logging feature is such a time-saver. I just snap a pic of my food instead of typing it all out. Super handy when I'm busy. Just wish the icon was a bit more exciting, but hey, it works for me!

I've been through the app struggle too. I used to rely on MFP but got tired of the constant paywall creep. Now, I use Cronometer, and while the food database can be iffy sometimes, I really appreciate how it focuses on micros. If you're open to trying another app, it might be worth it in the long run.
