  5. Auto-correct

  6. Theme display

To access the display preferences feature, go to Settings -> App Preferences.

Weight unit

Carbon gives you the option of tracking your weight in either:

  • Pounds

  • Kilograms

You can change this unit anytime regardless of which option you choose during sign-up.

Energy unit

Carbon gives you the option to track your energy in either:

  • Calories

  • Kilojoules

Energy display

Carbon gives you the option to track your food entries in either:

  • Label calories

  • Macro calories

Label Calories are, as it sounds, the number of calories that you see when you look at the food label on any product. The problem with this is that food labels allow rounding their calorie amounts. This can be rather annoying when adding up multiple foods in the diary. To combat this, we have created our Macro Calories feature. To learn more about the Macro Calories feature, click here!

Keyboard display

Carbon gives you the option to use the following keyboards:

  • Numbers & characters

  • Numbers only

Numbers & characters give users the option to input formulas and fractions in the amount box by utilizing your device's full keyboard. With Number only, formulas and fractions are disabled, and only the numerical keypad will be shown.

Auto-correct

Carbon gives you the option to have auto-correct either:

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

With auto-correct enabled, spelling errors will be auto-corrected, adjusting search during food entry. With auto-correct disabled, spelling errors will not be corrected, with no impact on search.

Theme display

  • Light mode

  • Dark mode

  • System default
