Move your Carb Manager history into TrainRec
Carb Manager Premium can generate your daily food logs and measurements as CSV reports. Generate them and hand them to your assistant, which brings your meals and weigh-ins into TrainRec.
How it gets in
Best results: your assistant. A connected assistant reads any export whole, fixes dates and units as it goes, and can bring in food and measurements, not just workouts. Coach, the chat built into TrainRec, is best for telling it what you did and for small pasted pieces. The other routes are there when you'd rather not involve either.
Through your assistantConnect or CoachBest results
Export the file from Carb Manager, attach it in your connected assistant's chat (Claude today) and say "Import this into TrainRec". It reads the whole file, sorts out odd dates, units and exercise names, and moves everything in with TrainRec's import tools, as one batch you can undo in one tap. With Coach, the chat built into TrainRec, describe what you did ("log my last two weeks: bench 3x5 at 185 on Monday...") or paste a small piece of the export, up to about a couple of weeks at a time. If something looks off afterward, just say so and it fixes it.
No export? Use screenshotsConnect plan
If you'd rather not pay for the Carb Manager export: Take screenshots of a few typical days in your Carb Manager diary, attach them in your connected assistant's chat and say "Set up my usual meals and targets in TrainRec from these." It doesn't need your whole history, just enough to see what you usually eat.
Each entry your assistant adds is marked with its name in Changes, so you can check what came in and undo anything that's wrong. Screenshots work with a connected assistant. Coach takes typed messages only, so tell Coach your routine or usual meals in words instead.
Export from Carb Manager
Reports for daily logs, macros, micronutrients and measurements, as CSV or PDF. Daily Logs is the one with your food. Exporting needs a paid Carb Manager plan.
- Open Progress. In Carb Manager, open the main menu, then Goals, then the Progress or Insights tab.
- Generate a report. Tap Options, then Generate Report. Choose Daily Logs, a time range and CSV, then Generate and Download.
- Add your measurements. Do the same with the Measurements report for your weight.
- Give them to your assistant. Attach the files in your assistant's chat and say "Import this into TrainRec".
- Check it in TrainRec. Your history shows up on the calendar and in your records. Something look off? Ask your assistant to fix it. You can also undo the whole batch from Changes.
Good to know
- Choose CSV, not PDF. Your assistant can read both, but CSV comes across cleaner.
