**Allulose has 0 net carbs because the human body cannot metabolize it, meaning it passes through the digestive system without impacting blood glucose or insulin levels. While a teaspoon of allulose contains approximately 4 grams of total carbohydrates, these are subtracted when calculating net carbs for keto or diabetic diets.

Calculation: Net Carbs = Total Carbs – (Fiber + Allulose).**

However, when I do that, I see no options to select a meter. Did the app change?

Here is my score for today in the attached image.

Total fiber added up to 45.7 g (152%)
Insoluble Fiber 8.6 g (34%)
Soluble Fiber 4 g (80%)

80 + 34 does not add up to 152% on my calculator.
Also, 8.6 g + 4.0 g is nowhere close to 45.7 g.

How can this be, am I missing something? Did I reach my goal or am I short?
Maybe someone can help me figure this out.

Also, can anyone suggest an easy read or listen that clearly explains phytates? Many of the foods I eat are seeds, grains, and legumes along with lots of vegetables. I am concerned about absorption of nutrients, specifically calcium and Vitamin D.

Thank you.

According to Cronometer, 100g gives 30.91 grams of protein. This means 100 grams of the edible portion (AKA the meat) will give the aforementioned protein amount?

Firstly, many of the items I scan into Cronometer are instantly recognised, but when I look closely, they only contain the basic info on the label, such as protein, fat, salt etc and contain no information on nutrients and vitamins. Eg. I just scanned a Marks & Spencer minced beef and onion pie, and there are no nutrients or vitamins in it. I know for a fact that minced beef contains iron, to say the least.

I also scanned in Tesco mixed peanuts, almonds and cashew nuts. Cronometer instantly recognised it so I added it to my favourites. But then I noticed again - no nutrient or vitamin information. So I had to create my own food and added in the 3 nuts separately. Then I found they contain a super-food level of minerals nutrients and vitamins - all of which would not have been logged if I hadn't noticed.

I also find that when a food isn't recognised, and you add it yourself with photos of the front and nutrition label, the same applies. No vitamins, or minerals listed - only the basic protein, fat, salt etc.

I'm not sure why these foods are recognised but only basic information is catalogued, not why this isn't pointed out to users? It is very possible for people to be logging their every food and drink trying to ensure they get all the recommended daily vitamins and minerals not realising that many of their foods are not showing any nutrient or vitamin information.

I usually either have blueberry/strawberry/spinach, or peach/mango/carrot. On the fasting mornings that I have the peach/mango/carrot combo, by the time I get near the bottom of my smoothie, I get an alcohol-like taste. I have deduced it is the stevia because by lowering the amount, the effect is lessened, but still there. It never happens on the berry-smoothie mornings, nor with either if stevia is not used.

On my non-fasting mornings, I use maple syrup to sweeten my smoothies and soy milk instead of water. The issue does not arise. I use stevia to sweeten herbal teas and have not had this issue either. I can't avoid the stevia in my smoothies because just the fruit does not mask the taste of the turmeric enough, and on fasting days I can't afford the calories associated with the maple syrup. I can't skip the turmeric because of arthritis symptoms (it does help quite a bit)

Does anyone have any ideas what could be the cause of this?

I'm located in Australia, so some of our food names differ to those in the US.

I was wondering, what do Americans call the vegetable pictured? In Australia, we call it a Jap Pumpkin. When I searched it, NCCDB (nor any of the other DBs) had an entry. I looked it up on Google and seemed to get lots of different answers.

If anyone knows, that would be awesome.

I’m new to weightlifting and want to take advantage of my increased muscle building capacity as well as have optimum recovery between sessions. Ethically I’m vegan and used to only get ~20g protein per day (not enough). I found I feel better when I get at least 60 when not training, but now that I’m training I don’t know how much I actually need of gross protein vs. amino acids.

What I mean is that many vegetables and plant foods fill up my amino acid needs without adding significantly to overall protein & I don’t understand if I really need to eat this much protein if I hit aminos.

Where do the amino acid recommendations come from? Would they change with resistance training/activity increase? Does protein help exercise recovery (weightlifting) or just carbs?

For reference- I’m a small person so at maintenance if I aim for 1g/lb LBM I end up consuming ~40% calories from protein & 40% carbs so I’m not sure if that’s maximizing recovery...

Thanks for any reading advice or responses. (& I’m comfortable reading research if anyone has any)

New to the app. First day proteins are shown. Sub-targets are not congruent with total target. What am I not understanding properly?

From what I've read, the relevant parameters that can be monitored include resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, electrodermal activity, and blood oxygen. Blood pressure monitoring would be nice. (Should I get the blood pressure monitoring feature? Or is is too expensive/inaccurate to be worth it?)

I should note that I'm NOT concerned about my step count or how many calories I'm burning. I know if I'm getting enough exercise, and I'm too skinny to be concerned about calories. I use Cronometer just for making very sporadic spot checks of my diet, and I'm more interested in my vitamin/mineral/fiber intake than my calories and macros.

I'm not interested in buying an Apple or Microsoft product. The Apple and Microsoft ecosystems are too expensive for me.

What features should I look for in a wearable device?

Let me know what you think of the low-end wearables available at stores near me:
