Welcome to the forum.

I've been carb counting (successfully) for over six years now and I've never used an app. You might want to have a look at this website

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb

which has lots of really useful information on probable carb values.

best of luck!
 
Hi @Erict & welcome to the forum

I’m not on insulin so the need for me to know how many carbs is different to yours. I do keto so less than 20g carb a day, not sure what kind of app you are looking for but I use Myfitnesspal to calculate & record my macros & calories etc

I find it works well for me but you have to be careful as it’s peer led so sometimes the info for a product is totally wrong. I tend to have my own list of everything that I put into my foods/recipes etc
