Carb Calc Help

Carb Calc provides you with the ability to create your own small database (or food list) of the foods you eat most, and attach a carb value to those foods.

Once a food item has been added to your list you can then specify a weight for a portion of that food and get a carb value for it.

Adding A New Food

• Press on the "ADD FOOD" button at the bottom of the screen
• Type in the name of your food in the top text box
• Add a carb value for the food that you are adding.
• Set the weight by which you are basing the carb value. By default this is set at 100g but can be changed if required.
• Press the "SAVE" button and your food will be added to your list.

Getting a Carb Value For Your Foods

• To get a carb value for a food you need to be viewing your food list
• Press the text box in the food weight column next to the food item that you want a value for.
• Add the weight of the portion of the food that your about to eat.
• Click the "ADD FOOD WEIGHT" button to generate a carb value for that foods portion size.
• You can add food weights for as many foods as there are in your list.
• To the right of each food that you have added a value for, the carb value for that weight of food will be displayed - see image below
• At the bottom a total carb value for all foods that have been inputed will be displayed
