A way to track whole grain grams per day

KimPossible

While grains seem to get a bad rap on these forums, whole grains are essential for heart-healthy eating. I would really like to be able to track the number of whole grains grams in a day.
Thanks!

the underlying database does not provide that information, but further poking around suggest it may be possible but don't underestimate the programming requirements to deal with this.

Thanks for those links. I'd looked some through the UMinn pages, but hadn't seen those yet. So, in addition to the programming requirements, it looks like it would incur extra licensing fees as well. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still a noob here:

How does the licensing of the source databases for Cronometer get funded, and does Cronometer license the APIs or the flat files?

Thanks again for your response and the info!

I know a little bit about the software biz. Crono's model is ad supported free version (not super intrusive but there) and then the paid level with various features. I upgraded to "gold" couple of months back for the historical reporting (i.e. more than one week) and have been poking around on how to better use the software.
Don't know how and what Crono licence.
