Re: Add supplements to repeat daily
Hi Daya,
You can add your supplements in your diary to keep track. If we don't have your supplements in the public database, you can create a custom food for each of them.
You can also create a recipe which contains all your daily supplements so that you can add them to your diary all in one go - it really helps save time!
I hope you are on your way to feeling better soon.
Re: Beef weights in database
Hi there,
It depends on the source. NCCDB and USDA are cooked, unless otherwise specified in the name (like raw or fresh).
Branded products from CRDB, ESHA, USDAB (UPC), etc. these are up to the manufacturer so it will vary from food to food.

Pre-planning and completed feature
Hi,
Is there any way to tick off foods you have eaten when you have pre-planned your eating schedule for the day. I have ADHD and try to pre-plan my eating for the day as I have a terrible working memory but still have problems trying to remember, have I eaten one or two of those, or am on on my 3rd? Something as simple as a checkbox would work. Visual reminder of 'yes' I've eaten that.
Third world problems, yes I know, but I don't want to start duplicating data in different places, just to be able to keep track.
Thanks in advance
Mike
PS. Great application. I've lost 207lbs to date. No small part due to Cronometer.

Re: Going Keto!
Start here with Dr Stephen Phinney who has been researching Ketogenics for over 40 years.
Community Cook Book
I think a Community Cook Book (CCB) could be very useful and profitable. Make it an Opt-In feature that can be selected every time you make or modify a recipe. Make it searchable by Total Calories, Macro, and a Taste Rating. From there, a database of recipes displays. These CCB recipes are entered by Cronometer users as normal, but there is an added radio button to "Add Recipe to Community Cook Book?"
This could also turn into a physical, annual cookbook release by Cronometer. Best CCB Recipes of 2021, released around Christmas time or something. If the C-levels are really cool at Cronometer, they'll even find a way to reward those whose recipes get higher upvotes and are more valuable in selling the physical book and pulling in new Cronometer users.
Re: Calories and weight loss, I thought sure I'd lose weight.
The 11 lbs I lost helped on my waist circumference, even though I doubt it was 40 inches when I started, I'm at 36 inches now, still a little pooch, but my pants are comfortable now. It was just a surprise that for that week I averaged 850 calories a day and gained 1/2 lb. Not a concern, just an interesting development. I might add, I got my blood tests results after 7 weeks on a Keto Diet. Previous test was 9 months ago.
Total Cholesterol went from 195 to 109.
Triglycerides 397 to 82
LDL 106 to 54
HDL went form 36 up to 39
I'm very impressed with those results from 7 weeks a a Keto Diet.

Re: Recomendation of multivitamin without B-12
Hi
I'm also looking for vits without B12 as the home kits from medicheck to monitor kidney and liver function require 2 weeks without b12 prior to taking the test.
But the reason U signed up to this forum was to tell those struggling to sleep on B12 that some people produce higher amounts of histamine than others. These types are normally allergic to bee stings, run hotter than average so have longer fingers and toes (straight up no kidding), are generally lean people. B12 and folic acid increases histamine production so high histamine shouldn't take b12 and particulatly folic acid supplements. It would account for itchy skin reactions. Also if not controlled it can create anxiety and obsessive behaviour and lead to addictions. No broccoli for these types! It's called Histadelia. Normally goes unnoticed because doctors don't get enough nutritional training.
Hope this helps change your lives for the better. xx
