Article Summary

Help the Carb Manager community by sharing your feedback through food ratings and reviews. Review custom foods, recipes, and meals that you or others create. If you’re a Premium member, you can rate Premium recipes.

Your ratings and reviews of your own custom foods are not visible to other members unless you publish those custom foods to our database or if you share your daily logs, foods, recipes, and meals with others. Ratings and reviews of our Premium recipes are always visible to other members.

Tip: Although you can’t rate and review common foods, you can copy a common food to your My Foods list, where it becomes a custom food which you can rate and review.
Tip: For information about common foods, member foods, and other types of foods in our databases, see View sources of food data.
Note: You can’t rate meal plans.
