Feature Request: Ability to See Nutrient Breakdown Ingredient by Ingredient In Recipes
I have added a few recipes from external sites (like minimalist baker etc). Over time I have tweaked these recipes so that I get the composition of nutrients that is right for me. It all works fine. However the way that I have to go about doing it in cronometer is awkward.
For example, for a given recipe I know the amount of fat per serving. However, I cannot see which ingredients contribute to the fat in a recipe directly on the recipe page. Instead I have to copy the ingredients to my diary where I can see the breakdown -- which partially defeats the purpose of typing in the recipe. Can you please add the ability to see recipe nutrient breakdown ingredient by ingredient ?

Omega 3 - Please split EPA DHA!
Hey there, I had been eating chia seeds and I was happily watching my Omega 3 levels reach the targets on my chronometer app. After 1 year of false satisfaction I have learned that chia seeds actually have almost none of the necessary EPA & DHA and I was fooling my self.
Please extend Omega 3 to include EPA & DHA sub-levels?

Re: Omega 3 - Please split EPA DHA!
Hi dmskn,
Thanks for the suggestion - we would like to include this data in the future.
Not all is lost! ALA is an essential fatty acid, so you are still doing your body good by consuming chia seeds. Some ALA will also be metabolized to EPA & DHA.
To learn more about omega-3 fatty acids take a look at this blog post, written by Dietitian @Susan_RD_101

Beta Program Update 6/6/19
Hi Everyone,
First I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for all the time you took to give us feedback on the beta builds of the app. The issues and insights you shared helped our release process go much smoother than if we had done it alone. The team and I really appreciate it.
I also wanted to give everyone an update on the beta program and share a bit about what to expect in the future. We are wrapping up the release of the new app to the general public, and you probably noticed that we have not pushed new beta builds as frequently. This is not the end, in fact you all have been so helpful that want to keep building our beta community, so if you know anyone who wants in on the action, just tell the to send me a mail at [email protected] with the following information:
- Your Name
- Your Cronometer account email.
- Your Apple ID email OR you Google Play Account Email<- so we can flag you as a beta tester and give you access to the app.
- Your Cronometer account status, i.e. Gold subscriber, Free, or paid app.
- Your device i.e. iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy, etc.
- The device's OS version.
Now for the fun part! We are going to focus more on user facing features now that the app has been re-built from the ground up, and all of you are going to get early access. Keep an eye out for a new build some time next week with a few brand new features. I’ll post an update once we get the release out to give you an idea of what is in the build. As always, we truly appreciate any and all feedback you are willing to share with us.
Cheers,
Spencer

Re: What integration would you like to see next?
I love this, but it's such a drawback that you can't import recipes from a URL as you can with recipe management systems like Paprika. I see that I'm not the only one that feels that way, but just wanted to add my voice to the chorus.
Re: Do you eat all of your calories?
Just my 2 cents but if you start thinking too much about "spending" all of your available calories, it will become an obsession. If you're comfortably full, and you've eaten well, let it ride.
Dark Theme
I would love the option to select a dark theme in the web client. The white background is a bit much on a large screen or late at night.
Re: What integration would you like to see next?
I enter my food tracking within a minute or two before/after I eat. I would love a chart showing my intermittent fasting time tracked by last food entered on previous day to first food entered on current day to calculate fasting time and a chart showing hours/minutes fasted per day.
Re: pulling activity from samsung health
I have found that Google fit will pick up the data for the Samsung Health app and pass it to Cronometer but it is a haphazard way of doing it and I don't think it is very reliable. So far I haven't found a good work around.
GLYCEMIC INDEX/LOAD
This is a vital addition to the foods data for those of us with chronic health issues caused by sugars, inflammation, etc. Please, please, please.
