Carbon - Macro Coach & Tracker

Even though the app doesn’t have a danish foods database, adding my own foods is very easy. Have done tracking before with mfp, I still find this app far superior because of the very intuitive layout, and great coach. Very addicting to see how I’m is closing in on my goal week by week.

Good app. I don’t worry about input being incorrect like MyFitnessPal (like multiple macro options for plain chicken breast). I do wish you could put the time down when you had the meal and also be able to have different macros different days. Like if you have high carb and low carb days. It would also be nice if you can import recipes or copy and paste all the ingredients when creating a recipe instead of having to add each one individually.

I used My Fitness Pal for years and switched over to this app over a year ago. I’ve also tried others, like MacroFactor. Carbon is simpler, and it’s just flat out better for tracking calories and macros over the course of a week and planning out weight gain and loss. My only request would be they integrate and send data to apple health. I’m not sure why that isn’t a feature.

Honestly don’t think I can describe all the reasons why, but this app just clicks with my way of eating and thinking in a way that other apps haven’t and it’s kept me motivated and engaged. I love that I can flex my calories around during the week instead of sticking to a daily amount. I love the trend feature so it shows my weight on a trend line instead of a daily weight since there are always weight fluctuations. I didn’t think I would like the check ins, but I actually really do cause it holds me accountable in a way that isn’t overly pressured. And I actually don’t mind logging my calories and macros because they make it simple to use. Enhancements I hope they make—trend lines for BF% and Lean Mass and the ability to set a goal not just on weight but also BF%. But that’s not a complaint, just something to look forward to one day.

I have tried multiple apps to help track my weight and log my calories and this one is by far the best. It has been the best in keeping me adherent. Pay the money, weigh in everyday, and log all your calories and this app is more than worth the price. Using this app has made me a better cook. I would like to see a feature were I can import recipes or write out a recipe for any of my created recipes.

I’m sure this’ll encourage some carnivore diet morons to support the business, but if anyone is plant based or at the very least appreciates that plant based diets can be health promoting when done right, then be aware that the owner of this app who claims to be researched-based makes statements to suggest that a vegan/plant based diet is inferior based on bias.

amazing. Definitely worth the money.

I’m disappointed there’s no where to keep track of my water intake. I have to keep track on a separate tracker I feel like i paid too much money for what i get in this tracker- my free one seems to work better for me

impossible to recover account data for new phone; otherwise excellent spp

Started using the app October 13 and it’s logging weight automatically from Apple health from October 6, which I don’t want it to do. I want my diet to be started from October 13, but apparently it’s taking my weights from before October 13 into the algorithm. I tried resetting the data. I do want to connect it to Apple health. But when I start a new diet, I don’t want it to take old weights from before the diet into account. Just frustrating
