About TheCarrot.com

Free, easy, and anonymous tools for tracking your health

TheCarrot.com provides easy-to-use tools for tracking your life for a variety of topics including health, nutrition, fitness, and medicines—all within a familiar calendar format. Through this free, anonymous service, you gain a comprehensive view of your health that helps you identify areas of improvement and goal-setting.

TheCarrot.com works with your lifestyle and health goals—you decide how often and how much detail to enter. Then, with this data, you create reports to share with your doctor, nutritionist or fitness trainer.

TheCarrot.com lets you track your health data in multiple ways—by entering data numerically, textually, and photographically. Using theCarrot.com, you can record your exercise by time, and other factors, such as score, distance, or rate of perceived exertion. You can also use a cell phone or iPhone to snap photos of your workout, food, or waistline. For example, you could take a picture of your sandwich and upload it to your secure account at lunch time. Then you can later search the food database for "deli sandwich" and create a complete nutritional analysis—it's that easy.

Photo entries personalize your experience on theCarrot.com. Photograph your shrinking waistline, your growing kids, or your glorious pregnant belly, and share your experience with your family, friends, nutritionist, fitness trainer, or doctor.

Depending on what you track, you’ll learn how different aspects of your health interrelate, such as how exercise affects your sleep or diet affects mood. Whether you’re a cardiac patient, a diabetic, an athlete, or you simply want to feel better, theCarrot.com simplifies the task of tracking your nutrition, fitness, and medication data; and understanding the bigger picture of your health.

Our commitment to your privacy
