About this app

Carbon Diet Coach is your nutrition 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) 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

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.

Overall not impressed with the app. The android dashboard doesn't update consumed calories and doesn't provide how many I have left so I have to subtract with a calculator how many I have left based on the target. The barcode database returns no item found more often that not or displays the macro breakdown. So far two weeks in using the app and have hit target goals and yet I'm not compliant because the dashboard doesn't want to update. Basic app with a basic algorithm

Thank you for your Carbon Diet Coach subscription! It seems you may not have tapped the Remaining tab on your diary dashboard, where you will see the remainder of your calories and macros after each entry. Also, our database does show macros and calories. Could you please reach us at support@joincarbon.com? We would be happy to assist you directly!

I love this app! It has been life changing. Previously I was paying for a coach & MyFitnessPal. This gave me the option of both and for way cheaper! The app is extremely easy to use. And it takes out all the guess work! Granted it will take a few weeks to learn your body. But I love how much control you have. From picking the macro split, to adjusting your calories throughout the week, this thing does it all. The food log has a huge selection and adding food/recipes is super easy! Just get it!

I'm two months in and I made a full switch from MFP. I get to choose which high day I want and it fixes the macros for all other days, and the coach gave me the exact numbers I needed after the first week. I couldn't make the switch from MFP at first because I've been using it since 2011 and all my foods, recipes, and my weight data for the past 9 years are there, but it's worth the switch. Tip: every time you cook an old recipe, add it to carbon and you'll have your ful database in no time.
