Lumen metabolism tracker - breath CO2 coaching actually nudged my diet
Tried Lumen after Google showed it's the handheld breath analyzer that measures CO2 to tell if you're burning carbs or fat. Blew into the device each morning for a week, app gave a daily carb suggestion and meal logging. Noticed after high-carb dinners my Lumen score stayed carb-heavy next morning, so I shifted dinner macros. At $249 plus $19/mo subscription it's pricey, and accuracy vs lab is debated, but as a habit nudge for nutrition timing it was surprisingly engaging.
