Our approach

A useful little food reference.

CarbTable makes everyday carbohydrate and nutrition information easier to find and use.

Built around a simple question

How much carbohydrate is in the food I am about to eat? CarbTable brings a food catalogue, portion calculator, comparison tool and meal calculator into one place.

Who is behind it

CarbTable is a project led by Rodrigo Elgueta. It reuses food illustrations and selected food mappings from the owner’s DiabetesBites and Diabetes Day projects, with original USDA records retained for traceability.

A working beta

You can explore 500 foods, change portions, save favorites, compare foods and calculate meals. There is no account requirement. We make the data sources and calculation rules visible so you can check how a result was obtained.

CarbTable provides general reference information. It does not prescribe diets, diagnose conditions or calculate medication doses.
