Committed to submit

Im a trainer and a nutrition coach myself…11 years ago I did a couple bodybuilding shows and afterwards I battled to get myself “back to base”. I had a decent amount of damage to my metabolism and hormones that took nearly 3 years to restore, and the mental game took a few more beyond that.

I say that to say setting up my own diet and sticking with it comes with a lot of uncertainty and fear of failure.

I knew I trusted Layne and his team to guide me towards the goal and felt ready to jump back in the game. So far (nearly 4 years later) I have found MANY opportunities to challenge my ego from taking over and “knowing best”, but have fought those battles as they come and so far have continued to trust to process.

Thank you for all that you do for us. The peace of mind alone is worth every penny

Use this app

I’ve been a subscriber for several years now. I was previously a user of my fitness pal for years. The flexibility and intuitiveness of this app is superior if you are going to pay for a subscription. I’ve found success using this app and recommend it to my friends and family to track and understand what is happening with your body when food is concerned. Happy user.

Just follow the directions and it will let you know how to reach your goals

Science based, I have PCOS and it is so helpful for losing weight, even while also building muscle

Gratitude

Love this app and the science behind it. Carbon keeps me focused on my goals and I appreciate the updates.

Best in market

In 2 years of using carbon, after coming off around 4 years of using MFP and Macrofactor, I would say Carbon has the best and most simple UI, and no nonsense features distracting me. The app does the one thing is supposed to, and that’s all I want.
