Carb Counters, Calculators, Nutrition Tools

Tools to help you analyze and calculate carbs and other nutrients.

Body Fat Calculator

This calculator will help you to find the percentage of your body which is fat (as opposed to muscle, etc.)

FitDay Diet Manager

FitDay lets you track what you eat and your activities, and gives you feedback on how much carb, fiber, fat, and protein you're getting. You can also track your activities, calories expended, progress towards goals, and quite a few other features.

NutritionData

There is a real wealth of data and information here. It provides the standard nutrition databases with a very easy to use interface and great visual representions of the information. Just plug in the food you're interested in, and there's a whole page of data about it.

NutritionData Advanced Nutrient Search

Want to find out which foods are highest in potassium and lowest in carbs? Plug any nutrient you want into this tool. Just watch for the fact that when you are going by "200 calorie" or "100 gram" amounts some foods we use in small amounts like spices will appear on the list. Unless you're planning on eating 200 calories worth of oregano, disregard!

Glycemic Index/Load Finder

Plug in a food and it will tell you the glycemic index and/or glycemic load.

Hidden-Carbs Calculator

This great calculator figures out whether the carb count on a food label already has the fiber deducted, and how accurate the counts are.

Food Conversion Calculator

This is a very handy tool! It will convert any amount of food into other amounts (ounces into cups, etc) AND give you the carb, fiber, fat, and protein counts of the food.

Cups to Weight Conversion

When you read that "100 grams of apple has 13 grams of carb" - what does that mean when you have a cup of chopped apple? This chart can help (although the conversions are approximate).
