Description: This is the Carbohydrate and Calorie Counting App you have always wanted! It contains photos of food & drink portions, clearly stating the number of carbs and calories above each portion.

You no longer need to weigh your food and do complicated calculations to figure out its carb & calorie content. Simply look at the food on your plate, find the food in the App, choose the correct portion size (up to 6 portion photos of each food!) and add it to the built-in Meal Calculator.

The FULL version contains over 1400 food photographs so you can more easily judge the carbs and calories in your food and drinks than ever before! PLEASE NOTE: the LITE version only contains 34 food items in the database (please purchase the FULL version to get all 500+ foods).

The Custom Food function has now been enabled in the LITE version, which allows you to add custom foods to your meal, entering values for Food Name, Carbs, Cals & Weight. The App can therefore be used as a standalone and useful tool!

Each meal is saved into the integrated Calendar, so you can easily keep track of the carbs and calories you consume every day.

This revolutionary App is without doubt the best Carbohydrate and Calorie Counting App, as the photos make it so easy to use. It makes carb & calorie counting FUN!

This App is extremely useful for those who are counting calories and trying to lose weight, as well as for people with Diabetes.
