Carb/Calorie Counter
Free AppAbout Carb/Calorie Counter
JACC is an acronym for Just Another Carb Counter. You may wonder why the world needs another food nutrition application since so many exist already. JACC attempts to be the easiest food nutrition application you'll ever use. Wouldn't we all rather be doing something more exciting than looking up nutrition data?
JACC uses a local copy of the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference to provide basic nutrient data for 8463 foods. You choose the food and serving information, and JACC calculates the following information for your selection: Calories, total fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, sugars, and protein.
Try it out and see what you think. If you really like something, or really don't, feel free to leave a comment. And remember, if you're not using Green Icon Software, you're not using JACC.
Known issues:
Search order matters. For example, "bread banana" yields slightly different results than "banana bread". If you don't find the food that you are expecting, try changing the order of your search terms. This will hopefully be fixed in a future release.
Thank you:
A special thanks to the men and women at the U.S. Department of Agriculture for doing the hard work of collecting the nutrition information and assembling it into a database for the benefit of us all. The nutrition information used in this application comes from the following source:

My sister told me about this app. She loves it so I downloaded it. But there is no submit tool so I took it off my phone. I have a Motorola Moto X

I liked the presentation but the search functionality left a lot to be desired. Any vegetables and fruits I tried looking up immediately went to baby foods and I had trouble finding too many other foods for it to be useful.

All this app does is to look up the nutrients of a food and display it to you based on the quantity you enter. If you're hoping for more, you'll be disappointed. However it worked perfectly for what I needed.

Don't like how it searches. It hard to find things. I download it before I went to bed by morning my battery had been totally drained.

Good information, however it doesn't have the serving size. A McDonalds hamburger only comes in one size, but a drink comes in many sizes. I looked up a sprite, and was unable to find any information on the amount of beverage that contained 28g of carbohydrates.

This app doesn't save my meals or total for the day which is what I'm looking for. I need a way to track my total net carbs not just look up each meal on its own.

I really appreciate your work in making this available. This is very helpful to me in finding carb content for common foods that usually don't come with a label — e.g., apples, grapes, restaurant foods. It might be more helpful if you update the database each year when ARS releases a new version. The current version is SR28 and your link is dead. I'm not sure if linking to the main SR database page would work or not, but telling us where to find it — as opposed to just posting a link — would help a lot. Also, adding contact data to your "About" page would be very nice. Lastly, as my personal dream addition, it would be wonderfully helpful if you added an empty database and a function to allow us to save our personal foods that are NOT in the ARS database for some reason — e.g., Wolf Brand chili; real sour cream; and several others that I don't eat daily, but I do eat often enough to want the data handy. Thanks again, and please consider my suggestions.
