The 95% Challenge

Karen_Cronometer

By now you might've guessed, but if you haven't then let me be the first to tell you: WE LOVE MICRONUTRIENTS! As such we decided to issue our Cronometer users a challenge. A 95% Challenge! If you reach 95% of your nutrient targets take a screen shot of that handy purple gauge and the Calorie Summary, post it to your social media then tag us. Up for grabs is a Six Month Gold Subscription and and two runners up will get some Cronometer swag. The contest runs this week, Monday-Friday; you can enter once per day, up 5 times for the week. We will accept submissions until Friday at midnight EST. Now... let's see those 95%'s!

So, not 95%, but showing for accountability and participation. I posted this on the FB post also.

I think challenges like this are wonderful in that they help add confidence. Obviously, im not at 95%, but we're all dealing with our own sets of challenges and have our own goals. Would be cool to see some 95's though and hear the details of how they do it.

well, here is about a typical day for me. not why i would want to get MORE cholesterol to raise my score!?

haven't figured out how to actually embed pics yet...

and fluoride is generally considered a non essential nutrient but i could drink a few cups of tea....no data for iodine, or chromium....I do add potassium iodide to my lite salt though...

all my amino acids were 160%+...just thought three screen shots was a bit much....

bracconiere

but i thought to myself, if they really want '95%' i could just eat an egg for cholesterol and a couple cups of tea for fluoride...here's it with that addition...

lol, But i actually prefer to get 0% cholesterol, and found out all my tea drinking was for naught....

PS. i'm not trying to win a 'free sub', i like giving you guys money! just thought i'd share what i eat in a day...

tcolvinOH

Click on the imgur pics that upload and it will give you the full picture path, with extension. I found the forum doesn't like anything without an extension

bracconiere

ahh, i'll try that for next pic post! Thanks!

Marie_Eve_Cronometer

So much harder than I thought! Only got to 92% yesterday

Will try to aim higher today

bracconiere

Your not trying to get 'ENOUGH' cholesterol are you? i'd change the minimum on that to 0, dito for saturated fat...

bracconiere

this is a test to see if this works...i tried clicking the image it just expanded it...but i got a link for embed pic, pasted that in

anyway i got a 97% with the beer! i think for the carbs

that didn't work how bout this

bracconiere

well anyway here was the plan, until i figure out how to embed photos..

@bracconiere

I just save the image on my computer, and add it using the the image icon, and the ''Choose File''

bracconiere

lol, must be an admin thing. all i get is a text box that won't take input....lol

Hilary

@bracconiere you can also paste a photo in from your clipboard!

tcolvinOH

I dont get the option in Firefox to choose a file. Cant say Ive seen it in Chrome either...

This is from Chrome...

I dont seem to be able to paste images from the clipboard either.

bracconiere

uh, uh...So i opened paint and made a selection, copied to the clipboard.

I can right click in box thingy, i have the option to paste. does nothing.?

think your running the admin version, this is my screen, and that box won't let me type in it...i use Firefox, latest version....

bracconiere

i think their in the 'office' running locally....and DAMN, you beat my post by 6 minutes! lol

must have been fusing around with Alt-PrtScr, paint and cropping too long...

And it won't take input either from you will it? you said unless it has the file ext?

It took the embed link i got from imgur, but didn't embed the pic..

I'll keep messing around there, and figure out how to get the full link to the pics, give that a shot. Obviously it works for you! do you have to have an account on imgur for that?

tcolvinOH

So I tried FF, Chrome, IE and Edge and none of them show the Choose File button. Interesting. Wonder what Im missing.

bracconiere


i think that's it, so this is the MarkDown (Reddit) share link i pasted into the image box...

it added text to this post! we'll see if that's it....

apparently not, can the admins move these last few posts to the help section, and we'll continue there?

bracconiere

https://i.imgur.com/Npq9ivk.jpg

i got the link...still won't take an import...

and your missing a local office and cubicle!

bracconiere

It Worked! YEA!

So i copied the https hyperlink out of the MarkDown Reddit link, then pasted that into the image url box that pops up. Sorry for messing up the thread with trash. Got it figured out in the end though.

Hilary

Hey @bracconiere and @tcolvinOH I had a closer look and it looks like we do have a few more priviliges re. posting images in the forum as admins. We have a real office! Not just an "Office" and no cubicles! Here's @Marie_Eve_H in our shared desk area chatting to you guys on the forum!

bracconiere

LOL, looks like a fine glass of Riboflavin and pantothenic acid there!

Marie_Eve_Cronometer

@bracconiere

How else will reach my 95% ?

tcolvinOH

@Hilary @Marie_Eve_H I wish my desk was that clean. Both my office and home office desks are a cluttered mess right now.

Not sure if @bracconiere was referring to a local office for me THERE, considering all the time Ive been spending ripping apart the product and the forum. Happens naturally, as part of my job.

tcolvinOH

hey guys!

bracconiere

@Marie_Eve_H , That's no joke either! Pantothenic is a tough one to get without your joe!

@tcolvinOH , Now we all know what 50% of you looks like! where did your hair go? lol

tcolvinOH

@bracconiere - Gone by choice. It was starting to thin out a few years ago and at the time, I was getting up at 430A to go to the gym. Because I didnt want to mess with it and it seemed to want to go every direction but the direction I wanted it to, I just decided to make it a nonissue. Way easier to take care of this way.

bracconiere

i look like a mutant, but i buzz my hair too! just a little longer.

tcolvinOH

Buddy says programming is tough....

Hilary

Heyu @tcolvinOH, create a new thread for business-cat photos! We've got some here too!
