Re: is there any way to change the way measurements for foods are shown
The high quality food database is great, except when the package you have in hand gives the weight in lb or oz, and the Add Food requires the weight in grams. The app could easily give an option to enter the weight in lb or oz, instead of gr.

Re: Search diary entries for food
Cronometer is the best app I've found. I'm more inclined to appreciate what this small company has brought to the market. The nutrient database isn't cluttered with erroneous and incomplete user-entered data.
I patiently wait for user interface changes to be implemented, but until something better comes along I will remain loyal to Cronometer. I have used various diet tracking programs over the last 30 years and this is the best yet. I will continue to use it until a better one comes along, or I take a break from nutrition and exercise tracking.
Was wanting to partner
I had planned on using Cronometer for 40K patients, but not getting any response from anyone has me looking at other solutions. Too bad this is the best software out there,
Re: Ingredients list
If you want to edit the ingredients of a recipe "on the fly" — so change them every time you enter the Recipe to your diary without editing the Recipe itself — you might benefit from using the "explode" option:

And if you do it for all of your recipes, you can turn on "always explode":

Re: Tracking per week
Thanks! Even though it's an important feature for me, I've decided to go pro
Until implementation and release I'll use simple Google Sheet to track "left to eat" calories. If anyone is interested, here is a screenshot with formulas:
Sleep Apple Health
Is it correct that while Cronometer has now added sleep tracking via connected devices, this does not include Apple Health?
[WE WANT] Image of nutrition label to Text!
Make pic of food label, press button, done. Others can do it. Crono can't.

Also sick how you dont update cronometer with new features.
Re: Entering Macros instead of foods
Hi @JenniPotts in general we recommend using data with the most nutrients in order to get a clear, complete picture of our health. You can learn more about choosing the best data for your needs here: https://cronometer.com/blog/6-tips-getting-nutrition-data/
That being said, one of my colleagues recently added a couple of options to the database to easily add some macronutrients to your dairy without needing to create a recipe. Search the database for:
Quick Add, Calorie
Quick Add, Carbohydrate
Quick Add, Fat
Quick add, Protein
Enter the serving size as the number of grams of each macronutrient when adding to your diary. This isn't the best solution to get a good picture of your overall health though, so I would recommend using this method sparingly, and spend the time building up your own database of custom recipes.
Re: Welcome to Ask An Expert!
@PAM Contact me through my site www.franklynutritious.com and I can make some recommendations for potassium supplements. There are so many companies out there you have to be careful. Many are very good, but the vast majority are very bad and not selling you anything of value.
Start with adding some of these foods: sea salt (Celtic and Himila are really good ones).
Avocados 1 cup = 727mg
Beet root leaves 1 cup = 1200mg
Swiss Chard 1 cup = 960mg
Spinach 1 cup = 838mg
Have that as a salad will almost nail your potassium for the day!
Other foods: Salmon, halibut, tuna, paprika, and cacao.
