Description
Carbon Diet Coach is your solution for results that LAST. Whether your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, improve your metabolism, or simply maintain your weight, Carbon Diet Coach removes the guesswork. Carbon Diet Coach is a science-based nutrition app designed by renowned nutrition coaches Dr. Layne Norton (Ph.D. Nutritional Sciences), Holly Baxter (MS Dietetics), and Registered Dietitian Keith Kraker (BS Dietetics). It does everything a normal nutrition coach would but at a fraction of the cost. Simply select your goal, answer a few short questions, and it does the rest! You will get a customized nutrition plan based on YOUR goals and metabolism. What's more, Carbon will adjust the plan as you progress to optimize your results. If you hit a plateau or stall, Carbon will make adjustments to keep you progressing towards your goal, just like any good coach would. Our coaching system uses the latest techniques in nutrition science to make sure you get the best results possible. All you need to do is follow these simple steps: ∙ Log your food using the built-in food tracker ∙ Log your body weight ∙ Check-in each week Do that and Carbon does the rest! Carbon Diet Coach can do things other nutrition coaching apps can’t do. For example, your nutrition plan can be tailored to your diet preference: ∙ Balanced ∙ Low Carb ∙ Low Fat ∙ Ketogenic ∙ Plant-Based Each setting is completely customizable so that you receive a plan that is sustainable for YOU! Another feature that makes Carbon unique is the diet planner. Want high and low-calorie days rather than eating the same foods every day? Use the diet planner to set up your week and stay on track. Overate on one day and not sure what to do with your nutrition plan for the rest of the week? Adjust the diet planner to account for what you overate and Carbon does the rest! Other coaching features include: ∙ Adjustable check-in days ∙ Check-in explanations so you're never left wondering why the app did or didn’t make a change ∙ Check-in history so you can look back and see why the app made various adjustments ∙ Charts showing your weight, body fat, lean body mass, calorie intake, protein intake, carbohydrate intake, fat intake, and metabolic rate ∙ Early check-in feature for those who can’t always check in on their specified day ∙ Goal tracker so you can see the progress you’ve made and how close you are to your goal ∙ Recommendations after you reach a goal so you can plan for what's next and KEEP your results ∙ Integrates with Apple Health to automatically read Body Weight and Body Fat values Already know what you are doing with nutrition and don’t need Carbon to coach you? No problem, you can enter your nutrition targets and simply use the food tracker. Beyond the amazing coaching features of this app is a food tracker that's excellent in its own right. Its features include: ∙ A huge food database ∙ Barcode scanner ∙ Quick add macros ∙ Copy meals ∙ Favorite foods ∙ Create custom foods ∙ Create custom recipes No matter what your goal is, Carbon Diet Coach is your solution.

Still love, but new updates make hard to read
I love this app. My only complaint is PLEASE change the font back. I’m not even I’ll and don’t wear glasses, but the new font and the new size make everything so much harder to read. So much spacing between numbers too. Will still use because it’s a great app but the font choices of the update are very questionable.
Completely unusable now
The new version is completely unusable. Nothing works. Not the coach. Not the macro calculator. It takes a good 15 seconds to import foods now or even have them load. I’m not sure why they felt this was necessary but as someone who just got charged last week $80 for this I’m pretty upset.
New Design is Hideous
What is this weird techno-themed update? The font is gross… please revert to the native minimalism of before. Or at least enable it as an option. The whole reason I liked this app. Such a weird decision… if it ain’t broke…
Amazing app
App itself is amazing for helping me stay accountable whether I’m cutting/maintaining/bulking. Todays update(3/20) was unnecessary adding the checkmark. It was easy to see when the goal number was green/red if over.
No trial
At least there's a "see pricing" option instead of it just taking your personal information then asking for money immediately. If I wanted a paid app I'd download a paid app instead.
GET MacroFactor App INSTEAD!!
Carbon has potential but it overwhelmingly lacks in areas other competitors excel in. The lack of support and updates to what is considered a dated app does not make this worth the $10/ month subscription. The Devs are lazy and do not make an effort to improve the app. - No iPad version - No Apple Watch version - No ability to add app as a widget on the home screen. - Food database is not as extensive as competitor's - Scanning is not as fast as competitors - No flexibility with customizing the UI/ UX - No integration with other health applications I'm sure there are others things I missed out but for this app to cost $10 a month to just log food without any of the features its competitors offer is a bit ridiculous. Sure the UI is great and the ability for macro adjustments on the fly is nice, but it's hard to justify the steep price for a "smart coach" that just adjust your macros based on your weight. This isn't ground breaking tech by any means, it's a simple algorithm. This app should be free and you should have to pay for more premium features such as ipad and apple watch version, widgets extension, a smarter coach, etc. The subscription model just really lacks, and the devs not putting in effort to improve the app means your $10 is just being pocketed. I've been testing out the MacroFactor app as they have a 7 day free trial and bodybuilder Jeff Nippard recommended it. It is now my favorite food logging app compared to Carbon and MFP! Highly recommended MacroFactor as it does everything Carbon does + a TON more! Actually with the $10/ month!
I cannot say enough good things
I’ve been listening to/following/watching Dr. Layne Norton for several years and have heard him speaking about carbon and it’s unique algorithm many times. Finally decided to give it a try, and even though I’ve only been using it a week, I absolutely love it. I’ve worked with nutrition coaches in the past and have tracked macros for competition (dieting down, bulking, reverse, etc) so I have lots of experience with other tracking apps. This one is so simple and easy to use, and it completely takes all the work/guesswork out of calculating my own macros, as well as the hundreds I have spent each month in the past on having a coach work out my macros for me. The calorie planner is a great feature that My Fitness Pal doesn’t have, and makes it so easy to adjust things to fit around your lifestyle. You are in good hands with Carbon, no matter what your goals are!
thorough
very thorough app, contains almost any food you can think of and allows you to personalize foods to make yourself, love the weekly check-in with the algorithm
Head & Shoulders Above the Rest
Tried them all, Carbon easily surpasses the rest. Great UI, fast load times and seamless use overall.
Everything you need
Everything is here, no gimmicks, easy to navigate, a genuinely helpful tool and fairly priced.
