Carb Calc for Android
This simple carb calculator tool is useful for diabetics who use carb counting to manage their insulin use. If you carb count and also weigh your food to get an accurate carb value this app may be useful to you. It enables you to build your own list of foods and specify a carb value for each food item. You can then simply weigh a given food and input the weight into the app to get the carbohydrate value for that portion of food. All in-putted values are added to a total so you can easily calculate your carbs value for a complete meal.
This app makes the process of calculating your mealtime carbohydrates much easier by eliminating some of the calculations that are necessary when carb counting. It also means that your carb value calculations will be more accurate which will improve your diabetes management.
Please note: This app is not a database of food types and their carbohydrate values. It gives you the ability to create your own database of foods with associated carb values and so requires you to research into what the carbohydrate value for a food item is and submit it to the app. Once it is submitted it allows for the carb value for portions of that food to be easily calculated.
Please also note this app is not a monitoring app that stores your carbohydrate intake, insulin use or blood sugar levels.
I really like the Simplicity of this app. I did have Serenity carb counter but I couldn't delete or edit it. This one is simple also it doesn't have the bells and whistles and it doesn't have an online card finder but I didn't need that. All I needed was a daily tracker and this is it. I never count on anybody else's card counters anyway. Once you put your food in there you have your personalized list of your own
Load of rubbish i was expecting a list of carbs in food. Not having to do it all myself. Plus could you possibly make the boxes any smaller nightmare trying to type anything in them
Great tool to have our list of foods, in whichever language we need. For a diabetic family relative that is not at ease with English this is top notch! Thanks
It does what says perfectly.
So good, better then using paper!
I was looking for an app that already had some standard basic foods listed already showing the carb count. This app is a "clean slate" where you have to type and create your own database. Deleting.
Thank you so much working great
Have it installed on two devices and works well. Useful app.
I put in a couple food items then it just sits there. I clicked on all the choices to get a carb count and nothing happens. I even uninstalled it and reloaded. Still didn't work. Bummed.
Didn't work for me
Not organized at all
GREAT
After reinstalling this app it's working fine now. Thanks. All I needed was something easy to keep track of carbs and I have exactly what I need. Low carb is what works for me to control my weight....
Worthless.

I've just d/loaded this app however after entering my first item I was surprised to see that you couldn't add in the exact carb deets ie I typed in 4.7 and 4 was what was saved. Please fix asap and I will then reassess my vote to 5*s. Otherwise the app seems very straight fwd and uncomplicated, TY for your efforts.
