Carbon Diet Coach
Subscription nutrition app that sets macros and adjusts them from your weekly check-ins
Carbon asks a short set of questions about your body, activity and food preferences, sets calorie and macro targets for a goal such as fat loss, maintenance, muscle gain or a reverse diet, and then coaches you: you log food and weigh in daily, and the app moves your targets each week based on how your weight actually trended. It is built on flexible dieting, so nothing is off limits and it supports low-carb, plant-based and keto preferences. Roughly ten dollars a month, on iOS and Android.

Built the app to automate as much as possible of what he did as a coach charging around a thousand dollars a month, so that people who cannot afford that get macro targets, a food log and weekly adjustments for about ten dollars. He says there is still a place for a human coach.
