Challenges for 2024
When will be having a new challenge? The January tracking challenge was super helpful for me.
Version 4.17.0 Bug Cronometer activity calories do not match Garmin
After updating to Version 4.17.0 the activity calories imported by Cronometer from my Garmin watch are less than recorded by the Garmin watch. For example Garmin shows 638 calories burned hiking but Cronometer only shows 517. Please fix this bug. Thanks.
Re: Sleep and charts
Hey there Zhivago!
It is your lucky day... we do import sleep into Cronometer and you can chart it! At the moment we can only chart two biometrics against each other (so not all sleep data in one) but that is something we can look into! Check out this blog for some more info on it.
Re: Sleep Apple Health
Hey there BillyJef! That was the case however we are happy to share that we have recently launched sleep visualization for Apple Health. It is causing some issues for some users with inaccurate sleep times so we are still working on making it the best it can be! Let us know what you think
Re: Adjust Recipe in IOS 4.19.4 only works once per recipe in the diary
@Foodnerd thank you for checking in! Yes, I looked for the update as you said and it seems to be back up and running again!! I can't tell you the relief, it was really tripping me up lol. The other thing (which is probably more of a concern), is the representative whom I was working with on it - she had no idea it had been restored and was still stating we only had a one time opportunity to adjust an entry. I ended up talking her through the update and then she knew. Not sure if they are super busy right now or if their service is slipping 🤔
Re: Bulk Ingredient Import for Recipes
Hi ap2013,
That sounds like a great feature idea to save time when creating new recipes. We will put this on our list!
Thanks!
Re: Recipe Management/Meal Plan Generator/Shopping/Sharing
Thanks so much for putting so much thought into your suggestions and taking the time to share this with us! It is so helpful to hear this information when we are planning out big features.
Cheers,

20lbs down
I recently received some unfortunate, but unsurprising blood test results that indicated that my lifelong battle with weight had reached an impasse and if I didn't do something soon to fix it, I would have to face bigger consequences. So, enter Cronometer and tracking and me suddenly using my nerdy research skills (I'm a librarian) to learn about good nutrition.
It's interesting. I've been on this self-imposed diet for a month. Calories around 1550, keeping fat and sugar under 60g, added sugar has been around 16g. Taking supplements and vitamins. Eating a lot of fruit and oatmeal. And wheat germ? But last week, I was gobsmacked when I went back to the doctor for a follow-up appointment -- three weeks after my initial visit -- and discovered I had lost 14lbs. (And my blood pressure was lower as well) Doctor was impressed... so was I! Particularly as most days I don't find myself to be overly hungry or focused on eating (though oddly focused on planning what to eat). Since then I've lost another 6lbs. (If you're tracking the timeframe, that's 20lbs in one month, which probably gives you an indication of how much weight I need to lose.... )
I've noticed that I don't seem to be getting enough Iron usually around 65% of recommended or Vitamins B1, 2, and 3. I'm not skipping meat, but eating a lot of ground turkey and chicken. Have added basil to a lot of dishes (though it is not my favorite seasoning). And I noticed red potatoes seem to work, though I'm trying to keep that to once or twice a week, given how starchy they are (I add veggies to them, when I make them).
Anyway, besides the iron and Vitamin B, the last thing I need to tackle is exercise. I walk a little, but find it horrifically monotonous (even with listening to podcasts or music). So if anyone has something they've really gotten into that a newbie like myself can dip my toe in, would love a recommendation!
