You can also log all of the foods you eat, and can add several food items simultaneously. You can also log water with a meal or individually.
- "Tell Carb Tracker to log a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee for breakfast" - "Tell Carb Tracker to log a Greek salad and 2 glasses of sparkling water". - "Tell Carb Tracker to log a glass of water."
The more information you provide (for example, serving size), the more precise the nutrition data. You can also log the calories for a food and it will be resized accordingly. Here are some examples:
- "Tell Carb Tracker to log 2 slices of pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and no onions". - "Tell Carb Tracker I had 200 calories of protein shake."
The meals you can log are breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. You can also add food without a meal type (for example, "Tell Carb Manager to log 15 almonds") but it helps to specify the meal type if you wish to later ask about the meal.
If a mistake is made, you can remove a meal, or specific items from a meal. For example:
- "Delete my lunch". - "Remove toast from my breakfast".
You can also log food for prior days. For example, "I had a Big Mac for dinner yesterday", or "I had oatmeal for breakfast last Monday".
You can check the calories, carbs or items logged for a given meal. For example: - "What did I have for dinner yesterday?" - "How many carbs in my breakfast?" - "How many calories in lunch?"
You can also ask for the calories, carbs or items for a given day: - "What did I have yesterday?" - "What have I eaten (today)?" - "How many carbs (today)?" - "How many calories did I have yesterday?"
If you wish to hear feedback on the carbs or calories as you track meals, you can enable or disable carb and calorie tracking:
- "Track carbs" (default). - "Stop tracking carbs" - "Set my calorie budget to 1600 calories" - "Stop tracking calories".
You can also look up the calories or carbs for food without logging it. For example:
- "Ask Carb Tracker how many calories are in 2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon" - "Ask Carb Tracker how many carbs are in 3 ounces of pasta"
You can also say "Help" for a reminder at any stage.
