The world of low-carb dieting can seem like an intricate maze to beginners, with strange new hurdles at seemingly every turn. While the ketogenic lifestyle can provide a wide range of long-lasting health benefits, first-timers may find themselves at a loss. If this sounds like you, you’re in luck: today we’ll cover 5 of the year’s best keto-centric mobile apps, designed to aid with everything from managing macros to reaching your personal fitness goals.
Carb Manager
The original low-carb mobile application, Carb Manager is one of the most comprehensive apps available. All metrics critical to the ketogenic diet can be tracked through Carb Manager: from total and net carbs, to fats, to ketones, blood glucose, insulin levels and more. The app sports a food database of over one million items, allowing users to scan barcodes on their favorite foods for quick and easy logging. Fitness devices such as Fitbit and Apple Watch can be synced to track exercise regimens and step counts, and users can access a host of recipes, educational content, and community guides to aid in their keto journey.

Senza
Senza puts simplicity first, easing beginners into the keto lifestyle with a specialized “5 Days to Keto” introductory program. The app’s Food Journal allows users to track carbs, glucose and ketones, guiding first-time keto dieters through the often challenging transition period from carb-heavy diets to the more restrictive keto lifestyle. Additional features include the ability to track mood and sleep cycles, along with access to a database of millions of keto-friendly restaurants and recipes. Travelers will fall in love with Senza’s Keto Radar feature, providing maps of keto-friendly restaurants in your area.
