Article Summary

Carb Manager tracks all of the macros and many micronutrients in the foods you log. If you’re a Premium member, you can access the Foods section of the Insights tab to view lists of foods that have contributed the most to specific macros or nutrients, such as Protein, Cholesterol, or Zinc. You can analyze all foods together or analyze a specific meal, snack, or supplements.
