The new Calorie Planner is rolling out now. If you don’t see it yet, update Carbon from the App Store or Google Play.
The new Calorie Planner, now called the Daily planner, lets you plan the real dates of your check-in period, set protein, carbs and fat for any day, match a day to what you ate in one tap, and plan a fast. Your diet type, macro ratios and any weekly pattern now live together on the Diet preferences screen.
You'll switch to the new Planner after your next check-in, or when you start a new goal. Until then, the old planner shows a line that reads Planner 2.0 is here! Here's what changed and where your old controls went. New to the Planner? Start with Using the Calorie Planner.
Weekday bars → real dates. The strip now shows the actual dates in your check-in period.
Locks under each bar → Lock day. Tap a day, then tap the Lock day card beside what you tracked.
Reset days → Undo and Reset all days to default. Undo is at the bottom of the screen. Reset all days to default is in the ••• menu.
What's new in the Calorie Planner
Real dates instead of weekday bars. The strip shows the dates in your check-in period, like Mon 28, and stretches up to 14 days when a check-in runs long.
Every macro, every day. The old planner only moved calories, and carbs and fat followed your diet ratio. Now you can set protein, carbs and fat for any day. A new Hold protein switch, on by default, keeps protein steady while you move calories.
Match in one tap. The Planner shows what you tracked for each day. Tap Match to set the day to it and lock it, or Match all to do every past day at once.
Plan a fast. The fork-and-knife button beside Calories sets a day to zero and moves its calories to your other unlocked days.
Lock day. The lock under each bar is now a Lock day card beside what you tracked. Matched and fasted days lock themselves.
Advanced mode for repeating weeks. A pattern you want every week, like a higher Saturday, now lives in Advanced mode on the Diet preferences screen.
Undo, one step at a time. Undo takes back one change at a time. The … menu holds Undo all changes and Reset all days to default. A single day has Reset day to weekly defaults under its sliders.
A colored border on the Diary's Planner button replaces the old percentage. Green with a check means the day matches what you tracked, amber means it doesn't, and purple means a planned fast.
Where did my old controls go?
Planner settings. Tap … in the top right, then Diet preferences.
Start day. Gone. The Daily planner shows real dates, and Advanced mode orders the week the way your region does.
Reset days after check in. Gone, because you don't need it anymore. One-off changes belong to their dates, and a pattern you want every week belongs in Advanced mode. If you kept it on, every week already started fresh, and it still does.
Reset days. Use Undo before saving, or Reset all days to default from the … menu.
The lock icons under the bars. Tap a day, then Lock day.
The Diet summary and Diet preferences link. Diet preferences is still under Settings, and the … menu's Diet preferences opens the same screen.
Frequently asked questions about the new Calorie Planner
Will I lose my old settings? Your diet type and macro ratios come with you. Your old weekday pattern doesn't: every weekday starts at 100% in the new Planner. To bring back a higher Saturday every week, turn on Advanced mode in Diet preferences and set it once.
When will I see the new Planner? After your next check-in, or when you start a new goal.
Do I still need to type in what I ate? No. The Planner shows what you tracked, and Match sets the day to it in one tap.
Where can I learn each feature? See Using the Calorie Planner, Advanced mode, How do I carb cycle?, How do I plan a fasting day? and What does Hold protein do?
Same coaching, more control over your week. Plan your days, match the off ones, and let Carbon handle the rest.
