Re: Net Calories Being Truncated by "Zoom To Fit"
I've reproduced a similar graphing problem with the "Zoom to Fit" on the website. I have more than one year of body weight and body fat data. My view starts off with 8 weeks of data and body weight (I don't think there is any way to change that) with "Zoom to fit" selected. If I switch over to Body Fat I'll get 8 weeks of… -
Re: Minimum calorie limits?
I’m a 5’4” woman using a smartwatch that syncs my daily activity, and once that daily activity is accounted for at the end of the day, my weight loss goal of 1 pound a week is totally fine and around 1200 calories. But what happens is that if I plan my food for the next day, Cronometer tells me I only have 850 calories to… -
Publishing a food to the CRDB Database: just copy food label or base on detailed database entries?
I could participate in populating Cronometer Community Database with local barcoded foods. Though the following question arises. Only Energy, Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates are specified on food labels here in Russia. Still many foods have detailed info in NCCDB and other databases. So, for example, if this is an egg, I… -
Long/short term vitamins (and minerals)
Please read this link about the body (not) storing vitamins and minerals. I've tried to reach my daily goals. Meaning all vitamins and minerals at 100%. That seems to be impossible. Even if eat ingredients instead of menus. Well, it is possible if I eat a lot of food. But that classes with the calorie goal. QUOTE vitamins… -
Re: surprise: kiwi fruit sungold contain B12; I am raw vegan without suppelements
@mike Calcium carbonate is slightly less absorbable than citrate, but it is still an acceptable source. And studies confirm that the bioavailability of calcium in plant milks are comparable to dairy milk. In contrast, calcium is actually more bioavailable from many plant sources (such as napa cabbage, okra, bok choy,… -
Vitamin/mineral deficiencies on a low-calorie diet
I tracked my food intake this past Tuesday. It was an oppressively hot day (96 degrees), so I didn't eat much - only 1511 calories! (Under the traditional 4/9/4 formula, I consumed 1580 calories.) While I did get enough fiber (44.9 grams), I was short on Vitamin K (45% of my target). If it hadn't been for my zinc… -
Nutrients Best Obtained from Animal Foods!
Most people know that certain nutrients come almost exclusively from animal foods, like vitamin B12 and vitamin D3. But those aren't the only essential nutrients found exclusively or near-exclusively in animal foods. Other examples include co-enzyme vitamin B6, preformed vitamin A, preformed niacin, preformed… -
Re: Impact/consequences of slightly incorrect data
Just a couple points: 1. The data on packaged foods is not 100% accurate, so I wouldn't automatically assume that the label is right and the database is wrong. You can look up the rounding rules elsewhere, but they aren't as straightforward as you might assume. 2. Little of the data anywhere is 100% accurate for any single… -
Re: Fat and skinny
@Fatty_McGee1 I'm 12 years vegan and also happen to be a dietitian. :smile: I think I can help.... For you: Consider how much of your diet is processed vs. whole foods (i.e. whole grains, pulses, tofu, nuts, seeds, fruits, veg, etc.). I'd also take a look at frequency of eating at restaurants/buying prepared food, as well… -
Re: Phosphorus on Whole Food Plant Base (WFPB) nutrition
@iamthewalrus Thank you for the response. THIS IS SCARY!! I HOPE MORE USERS READ THIS. I bought a bag of "Raw Brazil Nuts " ( product of Bolivia, packed by Tom & Glasser Los Angeles, CA 90021, no junk chemicals, nor Monsanto poison added ) with the express intention of boosting my Se intake. I have been taking 1/2 a nut (…
