NEW USER - APP Not Calculating Macros Correctly

KikiLuvsMutts

Hi,

I am on Keto. Regardless of how I enter my macros in settings (fixed/ratio), Chronometer is not accurately calculating my daily allowance of macros. Which is resulting in the data of my remaining macros being incorrect. I have watched the Chronometer Univerisity videos to ensure I am entering the info correctly. Any help is appreciated.

(If this is a duplicate, I apologize, 1st one disappeared when I tried to post.)

Yes, I have noticed this too. The macro calculations look to have been developed over several generations of people and are a mess.

From a software development perspective, they do too many calculations in JavaScript (and the app) making the software more difficult and buggy to maintain. I suggest an n-tier architecture with most of the logic and calculations on the server.

Hi @KikiLuvsMutts If you are following a keto diet, I recommend setting up your diet using the keto calculator. Instead of using fixed or dynamic ratios, the keto calulator offers protein based on lean body mass, fixed target of non-fibre carbs per day, and option for athletic bonus. There are three preset options, or set up your own custom targets: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018825091
