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.

@jerbir We use gram amounts as a standard to provide accuracy and consistency. Especially if you are creating custom recipes you will want to enter the gram amounts so that you recipe becomes more usable.
You can always add more serving size types to a food yourself by editing a copy of the food and saving it as your own custom food for future use.

From our recent Blog Post: https://cronometer.com/blog/6-tips-getting-nutrition-data/
"Tip #5: Weigh it!
If you want the most accuracy, we recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients to the nearest gram. Most foods have different serving sizes associated with them, but these can be problematic, especially for certain types of foods. For example, if you want the nutrition for ‘1 cup of raw baby spinach’, this is a very subjective measure. One person may loosely pack the leaves into a cup, and another may stuff them in tightly. Both have 1 cup of baby spinach, but the actual amounts are completely different. The only way to remove the ambiguity here is to weigh the spinach and enter the actual gram weight. This is less of an issue for food types that are more uniform like liquids or powders (my cup of flour should be the same as yours)."

@Lolinda

I have to disagree with your disparaging comments about the @cronometer team. They are definitely a small group of folks that are working diligently for the consumers of the product. I have been using Crono for over two years, and have seen numerous customer requests implemented. From offering the ability to track net carbs, and subtracting sugar alcohols, to adding the ability to track the timing of entries, the crono team has made a very large number of changes to the crono app due to customer requests. The fact that they have not necessarily implemented any of your ideas (yet) does not mean that they don't listen. Being in the IT industry, I know first hand, how difficult it can be to discern user requests for wishes and requirements. The sheer number of requests that are wishes (the color of a button, or the order of columns, for example) must be taken into account, and most times have to be scrutinized and prioritized. They are a small shop. Instant gratification, while nice, is nearly impossible. Again, that does not take away from the fact that they are working very hard to implement as many changes that make sense, as they can. Not to mention, what you may think would be a great addition to the application, another user may not think the same way. There are a LOT of users of this app. The requests that will benefit the most users will likely get the higher priority.

The point of my comment is this... While you might not agree, the crono team is working very hard on this application, and has been for quite a while. They are very responsive to their users (more than I can say for countless other apps) and do their best to make changes that their users want. Have a change that you want made? Request it! The more users you get to like your changes, or agree with your stance, the more traction your request will get. But please, don't be nasty with the team. They are working for you. For me. For all of us.

Make that 3 additional columns. I would like to be able to see for each entry: Calories, Fat, Carbs and Protein!
