1. ★★★★★ Low carb medical diet Advertising Ninja · 29 May 2025
   I downloaded the Carb Manager app about 2 years ago. I was put on a low carb diet to help manage my epilepsy. I’m supposed to have no more than 15 net carbs a day. The Carb Manager app is so easy to use to help track my intake! It’s database is so large that there have been a handful of time in two years when I haven’t been able to find the food I was looking for to track. But you’re able to add it manually and with the help of a google search for nutrition information, it’s pretty easy to add food that’s not in the system yet, and you can store it for future use. What I love most is the rec

   ipe writing tool! I’m able to build any recipe that I make into the tool and it will calculate the nutritional information automatically. I can save that for future use as well. And it’s not just the ingredients. You can enter the steps to make the meal. There have been a few times that I’ve made a new dish and family members have asked for the recipe and I can email them the step by step instructions. The app has helped me learn what is in the foods I eat. I don’t have to use it as often as a did at the start because the repetition has helped me remember the carbs that are in the foods that I eat most often. I honestly don’t know how I would have completely changed my eating habits without this app. It has been invaluable for me. If you’re need to make a drastic change to your carb intake, this is an app for you. My medical issues are now under control and I lost about 40lbs as an unintended side effect. So win win.

2. ★★★★★ Have Used for Many Years- Jalapenohorse · 14 Mar 2025
   I have to finally leave a review. This is THE BEST app no matter what your goal is. I am now in perimenopause and adjusting my diet because fasting and low carb no longer work for me. I have to Carb cycle in order to ever get out of stress mode /carb burn. I change my macros daily. I also take breaks for hormone feasting and I have found I can no longer fast. I use this exclusively for my macros. I use a Lumen device only to see if I’m in Carb burn(aka stress mode) or fat burn- fat burn has been elusive lately. I also use Lumen to see if I need to fuel up before a workout. I HAVE to

   keep stress to a minimum now. I have used many other food logging platforms and Carb manager is the best. I love having the database, entering my own food when necessary and scheduling recurring meals like my crazy superfoods coffee. It’s just so much easier and yet adaptable. This one can’t be beat and has helped keep me stay at a normal size range for a very long time- which is also a bonus- it’s always been there for me- never just disappeared like some apps do. If I don’t track- I go up sizes, get frustrated, start tracking again to rein it in. I Carb cycle and when I take a diet break, I can adjust my macros to a window of maintenance and not feel bad- even if it’s just a day out of the week- you can see your numbers for gaining weight and know you’re no where close and not beat yourself up and just keep going. This app is truly my trusted best friend!

3. ★★★★★ Amazing Results Blue2swing · 29 Jan 2022
   Pay for Premium access, it’s worth it! I’m not the best cook but these Premium recipes are better than restaurant food and simple to make. I regularly can’t believe that I, me the guy who eats cereal all day, cooked this!! It’s great, and healthy. After a few weeks I sleep better and think clearer! And I can feel the weight loss happening without feeling the hunger from other diets. I tried this app several years ago for a “Biggest Loser” weight loss competition. And, I WON!! I entered my macros for a diet only plan with no exercise. But I went to the gym three times a week anyways and ended

   up losing 30lbs in 3 months!! That’s 10lbs a month!! I looked and felt GREAT! But once the competition was over I fell back into bad habits and the wait returned unfortunately. Now I’m ready to loss the weight again. Not for any competition but for myself. I already know the app works because I experienced it first hand, so I didn’t hesitate to renew my premium access. Now I’m back using the amazingly simple and flavorful recipes, and the pounds are beginning to drop again. I’m very excited!! Considering we are discussing our health here I’d say the Premium price is a deal compared to the level of nutritional guidance you are receiving. I know I can’t loss the weight without this app and of course my will to stick to it!

4. ★★★★☆ Really liking the revamp SomethingSomethingDarkSide_ · 31 Jan 2021
   I looked at carb manager before the Regan and just couldn’t get into it. I really like what they have done, you can tell that they put a lot of thought and hard work into their new and improved app. I love how easy it is to enter foods the barcode scanner has worked crazy fast for me with everything I’ve scanned so far. There’s tons of metrics you can teac track which is a huge plus for me because now I can have it all in one app instead of flipping through 3 like I did before. I can enter my blood glucose & ketone readings and it calculates my GKI. I can keep track of my body measurements to

   see how I’m progressing over time along with my weight. There’s just so much! It’s great. There are some bugs that still need to be worked out and crashing on the build a meal plan portion. I also wish that you didn’t have to pick a date to start your meal plan or so much food before moving on to the next step. The social aspect is nice, because it’s always enjoyable to run ideas past others on the same journey. Also the fact that they have recipes in app is awesome. Though I wish there was a dedicated spot for favorited recipes and the ability to create a shopping list from the favorites. I mean if we can make a meal plan shopping list why not make that feature available too. All in all this has been the perfect app for me. I hope they keep with these great improvements. Subbed to premium I liked everything so much.
5. ★★★★★ An amazing tool crazykoolart · 27 Jan 2021
   I have had a great experience using this app. It’s easy to use, and is on my cell phone — so, I can update or edit my food intake and track my protein, carb, fat, and calorie intake through out the day. It has been easy to find and match the foods that I eat which makes it easy to be accurate and personalized about my exact food intake. It’s also very user friendly vehicle so it allows me to easily see if a particular food that I may be consider for consumption will fit into the limits/goals — that I’ve intentionally chosen for myself since it has a display panel that shows the maximum amount

   more

   of calories, proteins, carbs, and fats that I’ve decided to consume daily. I am currently using this as a weight loss tool because, I unfortunately had put on 30lbs during the current Covid worldwide pandemic. I’m excited to say that I’ve already lost 7lbs is just 10 days. I have lost this weight without starving myself at all. I can also track my activities, exercising, and water intake too. I can’t wait to continue — and I plan to loose all my covid weight gain. I plan to use this app even after I reach my goal weight — because, my body thrives on a moderate calorie, low carb, high protein diet that incorporates good fats. I love how the program has notations about keto friendly foods. I also hope to eventually use the many great recipes that are linked to this site. Hip hip hooray to the help that this app offers with regard to healthy eating. Thank you!
6. ★★★★★ Makes it easy to track and instill habits ! sschof86 · 19 May 2020
   I recently made the decision to try the keto diet. Many friends swear by it, and I see how people with epilepsy May benefit from it. As someone with epilepsy I decided to give it a go and see all the hype not tracking anything at first and I definitely felt like I needed something to keep me accountable and on track. I tried another app, but they only let you log 5 things in the free version before you must pay. For someone trying it out and trying keto I don’t want to pay especially in the beginning. Luckily I found Carb Manager. I like how as someone new to keto I can see my progress and m

   more

   ake decisions from there. I have the free version and there’s tons the app is capable of within that itself, however with the premium feature you unlock more. In the future if I get more into it I might invest in that! I’ve had one or two issues, like when I recorded my weight for another day it updated my previous weight . I left a message in the app and they got back with me, longer than the 6 hours they promised but still ! I’ve had a bit of difficulty inputting my own recipes too, but I’m still figuring out all the app can do, but I’m extremely happy so far with my experience so I’ll give it 5 stars and recommend this to anyone trying the KetoDiet
7. ★★★★★ Where is support? Siouxzee44 · 8 May 2020
   I looked for a way to ask support in the app but couldn’t find a place to do so. I’ve been a member for quite a while now. It’s by far the best carb tracking app that I’ve found and I’ve tried 5 or 6 of them. I keep coming back here. I pay for premium even. However I’m really frustrated. I’m having a hard time entering recipes. After I get all the info typed in there is many times no “save” option. I have to click the upper right corner to get out of the screen and so lose everything I’m trying to save. I try to refresh the screen, I poke around at the top of the screen (where it’s just white

   more

   space), I clear out the food search history - nothing. It’s hard enough for me to be faithful in tracking and with things like this happening quite often I’d rather just quit. This needs to be fixed. I’ve invested enough time and money with this app that I don’t want to throw in the towel, but this is annoying!! The other annoyance is if I make a typo I can’t correct it or add a word in the middle of a line without completely starting over. The cursor automatically takes me to the end of the sentence. E.g if I want “ground cinnamon” and I forget to type ground or if I type grnd I can’t just jump in to correct it, I have to erase the entire line and start over. SO annoying. Each extra keystroke takes time that I don’t want to devote to tracking. I need it to be easy! I love the scan feature. I wish all ingredients could be scanned. Can you help? Thanks, SMP

8. ★★★★☆ Great! Just one wish, to save shared recipes. SashaP82 · 13 Feb 2020
   I’ve just converted to a Keto lifestyle, I tried a few apps and CarbManager has the best features while using the free version of the app. Thank You!!! I truly believe I can eat whatever my heart desires twisted to Keto, in that frame of mind I am always creating new recipes. In the last 4 days of having the app, I have created and added 4 of them. I love that it totals up all the nutritional values and when I add it to my daily food, let’s say as my dinner, those adjust to the serving size. I cook for a very large household and since a few of us are trying to stick to Keto friendly meals it’s

   more

   nice to be able to share the recipes, however, they can’t save them so that they can benefit from the same nutritional information in their daily meal records. That means each app user has to create the recipe in their app, that’s quite frustrating. I’m hoping there is a way to update this, it maybe I am just saving wrong. I always give permission to publish when I create a new recipe, the little box is checked. I’m guessing it just takes a while to verify each one of those before they are published, which is understandable, but if we all had my invented dish for dinner then we would all like to have the benefit of just adding it once shared from the app, which is another feature I love! Thanks again for the great work!!!
9. ★★★★★ Carb Manager compared to MyFitnessPal and Cronometer Keto focus · 21 Dec 2019
   I have used MyFitnessPal (premium version )For about four years. It is very easy to use and provides just about any information I could’ve ever wanted. My biggest complaint was inaccurate nutritional information on several occasions, but still they are pretty good. What really annoyed me recently was trying to find nutritional info for a common food. For some reason many of the foods in the category I was looking at were printed out in a foreign language (other than English). I had never had that problem before. I told look at Carb Manager and absolutely fell in love with it, having bought the

   more

   premium version. I am prediabetic and over age 65. Carb manager very well fills my expectations for all types of information that anyone on a keto diet would like to know. Although MyFitnessPal Provided similar information, it wasn’t as focused on keto as carb manager is. I also bought the premium version of Cronometer. Chronometer reviews indicated they were the most accurate of all the nutrition apps, and what little experience I’ve had with it so far I find that to be true. However, extremely high accuracy for nutritional information Hass to be weighed against the quantitative inputs one makes - which is often an estimate. So the overall accuracy of nutritional information for me, was not enough to sell me. Chronometer also had no easy way to input water consumption. Bottom line is that carb manager for me, has the best combination of nutritional information, ease of input and some extremely well laid out navigation within the app.
10. ★★★★★ Great tool for a Keto Diet! BIRD1E-1111 · 9 Oct 2019
    I love this because you can track all of your macros quickly and easily. I love the ability to scan UPC codes to enter a new product. I love how you can enter recipes by entering a url. There are tons of recipes and you can edit recipes to suit your needs. There are meal plans included in the premium version but none of them suit my needs. They should be labeled differently than meal plan 1 etc so we do not have to look through each one. You can customize a meal plan which is great but it did not work for me. I entered “no seafood “ and it gave me only 1 choice for lunch which was an Asian sal

    more

    mon salad. Things I would change: on the water tracking, you can change your water goal for the day, but you cannot change the 8oz increments. I would like to be able to change it to 20oz or just be able to type in the amounts. You can copy foods from day to day but it is time consuming. I would like it if there was the option to check off items with a check box and add them all at once to another day. Also it would be nice to check off items on a previous day and have it saved as a meal. You can save items as a meal but you have to enter items individually, then save it as a meal. I think this app is invaluable and I recommend it to all of my Keto and Low Carb friends!
