Changes to Fasting
Hi,
Two changes I'd like to see with fasting:
- In the diary screen (web and mobile), I'd like to see the time to go before ending and scheduled end time displayed - now it's just showing elapsed time.
- Starting a fast seems harder than it should be - with a default fast length set (say 16 hours) I want to be able to just start a "default" fast with one press. This can keep the scheduled fasts for when I want to do something different. I've used the Zero app for fasting before and I think the interface is perfect. I'd love it if Cronometer could work in a similar fashion.
Thanks for your consideration.
Diary Search
I am wondering if a diary search feature can be added where one can search notes and biometrics, for example, from previous entries.
Cronometer has stopped communicating with Google fit
Yesterday, cronometer (which is installed on my Pixel 2) stopped receiving exercise data from Google fit (no steps, running, biking, etc.). I cleared the cache and restarted both apps and the phone. Anyone else having this problem?
Different Calorie goals on Specific Days
I've been using the paid program for a couple months and really love tracking my overall intakes. It's nice to see where I need to adjust for more protein, different vitamins, etc. What I would really like is to be able to set different calorie goals for different days. I do a 4:3 diet where 3 days of the week I have fasting 5-600 calorie days and usually 1 day on the weekend I eat absolutely whatever I want and it may wind up over 2000 calories. It is so hard to track where I'm at on the fasting days b/c all it can tell me is that I can still have 700 more calories that day. (I have it set on a generic 1200 cal/day) Everything else about this tracker I love. (I tested lots of different ones when I started and found this to be the best to fit my needs) I even refer people starting diets to use your program for how nice it is. If you could add this one feature, the program would be perfect to me.
Re: Chronometer or Myfitnesspal?
Hi Eugeneparkers,
One of the things that sets Cronometer apart from other applications is that we don't allow users to add foods directly to our public database, nutrition information is first verified by staff so you can count on the accuracy of the data. Of course, you are always welcome to create your own custom foods too!
Generally, we recommend using generic alternatives from our most comprehensive nutrition databases, like NCCDB and USDA. This will give you much more nutrition information. We are also in the process of adding more foods from the EU to give you even more options!

Recurring Entries
Most of us put salt to our food every day.
The same is true for supplements and water. Some of us have some habits that we do every day.
It would be nice if Chronometer has a feature to insert recurring entries.

Re: The Plant-Based Eating Interview is Live!
Excellent video!
20 year vegan here and I have enjoyed every minute. I was vegetarian for 27 years before going vegan - thanks to the internet I finally learned the truth about animal products and their negative effects on our health and the health of the planet plus the poor suffering animals. No medications, no diseases or conditions - not bad for 66. I gained weight because of consuming too much nut butter, tahini and oil. High carb no oil or nut butters diet over the last couple of months and I have lost 52 lbs. Almost there. Cycling in the hills and lifting weights are my preferred workouts.
Peace.
Re: Confusion between NCCDB VS USDA
Hi Jspyke52,
Foods from NCCDB start with data from the USDA, then they do additional research to update values and fill in missing values, where they can. Where numbers for a nutrient differ, this is because the team at the NCC have chosen a different source for their data.
The choice of which to use is up to you! Personally, I like to use the NCCDB because they have more nutrients listed.

Side-by-Side Foods Comparison
Would be great to have a side-by-side comparison of different foods, maybe 4 at a time, and such that you can change the serving size on each. For example: acorn squash (100g) vs butternut squash (80g) vs pumpkin (70g) vs salmon (50g). Maybe as a sub-tab under the food search.
Pleeeeeeeeease 
Thanks

Please let me set grams as the default units.
I weigh all my food before entering it. Nearly every single time I select a food item, I have to enter the Serving Size menu and select grams. This wastes an enormous amount of time. I'm finding Cronometer very helpful, but I really need to be able to set the default serving size to grams.
