Children's Wisconsin Carb Factor App
The Children's Wisconsin's Carb Factor App gives you a quick and easy way to calculate the exact amount of carbohydrate in the foods you're eating.
Create recipes and calculate the carb factor
There are so many foods we eat that can have more or less carbohydrate based on their size. Now, all you need is your food scale and the Carb Factor App to calculate the exact amount of carbohydrate in those foods. Remember to weigh only the edible portion - so take the peel off of the banana or the rind off of the orange!
Using this app, you are able to browse through our library of ingredients that contain carbs and create dishes or meals. You will then have the ability to adjust various ingredients to see how that might affect the total carbohydrate.
Save and share
Once you have a recipe just the way you want it, you can save it for future reference. You also have the ability to email or share your recipe on Facebook with others who may find it useful. Try it now!
