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.

Been using for years

Love the built in trainer and ease of use. Will continue using this app for a long time.

Great way to track and be accountable

This app adjusts based on your needs. It has most of the foods I eat regularly. It is easy to add if necessary. The support is beyond appreciated. They are kind and friendly. The app is often getting updated to make it better. This is my third or fourth year with them, and I love it.

Have used for years

It’s my go to app but it can be a bit annoying at times. I hate how when I lose weight it automatically changes my calories. Give me control over my calorie budget. For example, I want it to stay 2300-2400 per day and then you automatically increase to 2600. It’s just annoying because I have to restart everything.

Measuring Required

The app offers very limited weight and measurement options when logging food, so plan to modify everything you eat and log to their tight parameters. Plan to cancel and find something more user friendly.

Best Food Tracking App

Extremely simple to use, especially with new upgrades. Food library quite large. Easy and quick to enter food. The fill in circles makes it convenient throughout the day to follow your plan. Love this app

Love this App

Wish I found this App long ago. It’s been more helpful than all the professionals that I’ve been to.

Awesome app!

Great app! Super convenient and intuitive. Getting great results too!

Best coaching App!!

Better than a tracker, it’s a coach. If you trust the process and following its coaching it will adjust to YOUR specific needs and goals!

Simple. Easy. Effective

This app makes tracking simple and easy to adhere to. You can simple scan an item and it auto populates and I love that I can save recipes that I typically consume so it’s easy to use. I highly recommend this app!

It works!

I’ve lost weight continuously for 2 years @70 pounds!

Very User Friendly

Love this app

Best food tracker app

Thought was going to be same as MFPal but much better. Intuitive and really easy to use. Adjusts each week so that you hit your goal at a sustainable rate. Gave me an extra 400 calories to eat each day after a week which has made sticking with programme much more likely.

Keeps Getting Better

Carbon has really helped me gain valuable insight and awareness regarding my eating habits beyond merely counting calories. It helps me reach my daily macronutrient goals and makes healthy meal planning easier. I feel confident using it - knowing it was developed by researchers and is based in nutrition science - and I have experienced real health benefits when I follow its lead. I rarely have any difficulty finding and logging food items and I love the simple interface. The regular check-ins help me stay on track. Its data base has grown and the developers regularly improve the app. Well done, and thank you!

It’s the best!!!!!

It’s simple, accurate, and comprehensive. 🙂

Simple and Effective

I love how Carbon uses a circle with rings for fat, carb, and protein— it helps me make each meal balanced, rather than simply trying to reach arbitrary numbers by the end of the day. I appreciate such an effective app; it’s rare nowadays to find a product that’s worth the money, but Carbon fits that bill.
