Carb Manager for iPad app review: track your carbohydrate intake the smart way

Introduction

While low-carb dieting isn’t in vogue as much as it has been in recent years, it definitely still has its place amongst those who are trying to lose weight, and this iPad app has been designed to help you track your carbohydrate intake the smart way to ensure your long-term success.

This is a simple enough app that I think you could probably use regardless of whether or not you’re following a low-carb diet. Either way, keeping an ongoing log of your food intake can be very enlightening so I would definitely recommend using an app like this.

There are some cheaper apps available within the Health & Fitness category of the App Store that offer many of the same features, so I would recommend shopping around before making a final decision.

Carb Manager for iPad - low carbohydrate diet tracker features an extensive database of more than 100,000 common food items, fully detailing more 30 different vitamins and other nutrients for each food.

Alternatively, you can add your own foods to the database if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Track Your Weight With Ease

You’ll be pleased to know that you can also use this app to track your weight loss progress as there are features for tracking your weight and even seeing it projected on graphical charts so that you can see how much you’ve lost over a given period of time.
