The keto app built around net carbs
Keto lives and dies by one number: net carbs. CarbMeNot puts it first — snap a photo to log net carbs, protein, and fat, and stay in ketosis without doing math at every meal.
Most trackers bury the one number keto cares about
On keto, net carbs are everything. Most apps hide them.
Total carbs by default
General trackers show total carbs and make you subtract fiber in your head, meal after meal.
Net carbs behind a paywall
In many apps, the one number that matters for keto is a premium-only feature.
Hidden carbs everywhere
Sauces, dressings, and drinks quietly break ketosis — and they're easy to miss.
Math at every meal
Doing carb arithmetic all day is exactly why people fall off keto.
CarbMeNot is net-carb-native. Staying under your limit becomes a glance, not a calculation.

Net carbs, computed and logged for you.
Snap your meal

Keto app FAQs
- Does CarbMeNot show net carbs for free?
- Yes. Net carbs (total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols) lead every food, meal, and daily total on the free tier — no setting to flip and no paywall. AI photo logging is free too.
- What's the difference between net carbs and total carbs?
- Net carbs subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbs, because those aren't digested into blood glucose and don't affect ketosis. Keto is managed by net carbs, which is why CarbMeNot leads with that number.
- How many carbs can I eat and stay in ketosis?
- Most people stay in ketosis at 20–50g net carbs per day; strict keto usually targets 20–30g. Set your limit in the app and track against it in real time.
- Can it help me find keto-friendly foods?
- Yes — search the 3,400-food database (net carbs computed), use the free Is It Keto? checker on any food, or browse 400+ keto recipes with full macros.
- Is it free on iOS and Android?
- Yes, free to download on both with no signup, and the net-carb tracking and photo logging are on the free tier.
