Re: Making notes searchable
Double Ditto. I would love to be able to call up my notes and scroll through them. Dare I hope to be able to print them? Often times, I have to manually search back through them to see when I started an activity or change in foods, etc..
Re: Making notes searchable
I absolutly agree!..... This is my number ONE request and need!!
Re: Add a daily journal
I would like to be able to print only my notes to quickly see my progress without all the other data.
Search my Notes ?
Hello,
Is it possible either by an internal Cronometer function or by using Google to search all through my NOTES ? Or all through my previous days ?
Why ?
Sometimes I have made a particularly useful list of high fibre or high protein foods or had a particularly well balanced high fibre high protein day and I would like to easily find those days again
Maybe we could set TAGS in the notes ?
Re: Tracking Veggies
I love cronometer and it has made a valuable contribution to my nutritional awareness and wellbeing. Tracking fruit and vegetable servings would be a helpful addition for sure. The government recommends 5 servings as a minimum, but some research indicates 8 or more servings has a dramatic impact on mood. I could sure use some assistance tracking my efforts to get those 8+ servings!
Re: Tracking Veggies
My own issue isn't with eating enough servings of vegetables, but eating enough variety!
Re: Tracking Veggies
An estimated total of fruit/veg servings would help me as well. I often combine small amounts of several different vegetables and even with good logging, it is hard to estimate total servings to see how often I meet my goal (8-9 total) without looking up details like how much bell pepper counts as a serving, etc.
Re: Tracking Veggies
I was just thinking about this today. It would be so useful if I could set a target weight of vegetables or meat or whatever.
For example, I'm trying to get 100 grams (or less) of meat every day (not protein), and 800 grams (or more) of vegetables each day. And it's easy to count those if I enter the individual foods, but when I batch cook (necessary for me to eat homemade foods with my work schedule) I input recipes.
If every ingredient fell into an overreaching "food group" category, it would be so easy to limit or target various food groups. And it could even double as a way to manage the diabetic exchange diet. Not as popular now as it used to be, but a great way to manage carb counts on the fly.
Re: Search diary entries for food
- Leave the dinner table, go to the study, turn on the PC, login, export a csv, search the csv - yeah right, as if!
This is probably the most feasible option right now.
Not practical, not convenient, but doable.
Re: Ability to reorder ingredients in recipes
I still use Cronometer daily but it has bugs. For one, meals don't work properly. There are sometimes HUGE discrepancies between what is shown on my computer and what is shown on the iPhone app. Just now, I pulled up one of my meals and the total calories displayed for the meal on my phone is 429.6. On my computer, the total calories shown is 4.3. If I "explode" the meal on the phone, it shows total calories is 4.3 and on the website, it shows the total calories is 1,591 which is the correct answer. In the exploded meal, which consists of 3 items (2 of which are recipes I've created) the serving sizes shown are 0 servings, 0 servings, and 0.32 grams. That is on the phone. On the computer, it shows 1 serving, 1 serving and 120 grams which is correct. As such, I don't recommend EVER using the meal function.
I've given up on reporting bugs to Cronometer because it's time consuming and the bugs never seem to get fixed.
A feature they also should implement is a timeline type of thing in case you tweak a menu or god forbid a meal and apply it to prior uses and it screws up stuff going back to who knows when. You should be able to reset your data file to before that happened. Like a daily restore point going back for 30 days, then weekly for a year, then monthly before that, or something along those lines.
Also, yesterday, I had to find an old recipe that I had retired and there's no feature to search for those. As a workaround, I add the date to the recipe name I was able to find it because I knew when I created it and was able to go to the date I created it, highlight it in my diary, then viewed the item, then saved a new copy. Again, another workaround for a feature they should have already implemented.
