Re: Omega and Fat intake
@HarvRoc20 You may wish to review the following blog on the Cronometer ratio of omega 3:6 - https://cronometer.com/blog/understanding-cronometers-nutrient-ratios/. As a vegan, I'm far more concerned about your omega 3 intake than your omega 6. A priority is to ensure your intake meets the "AI" (or adequate intake) for both… -
Re: Calories Summary Section
Welcome to Cronometer, @jmbel ! Your activity level is an estimate of the calories you burn throughout the day beyond your basal metabolic rate (BMR), including activities of daily living and exercise. We recommend leaving the setting on the default Sedentary and logging your exercise activities separately by adding an… -
Re: How accurate is the weight goal tracker in cronometer?
@blessenparker One pound of weight is the energy equivalent of 3500 calories. Thus, if we divide 3500 calories by 7, we get 500. So theoretically, if you are reducing your maintenance calorie target by 500 per day, you will lose on average 1 lb of body weight per week. BUT, your metabolism will ultimately decide how… -
Re: Live output / upload of progress charts
Hiya, +1 for a sharing feature of charts here, too. Besides diet, I'm tracking various biometrics, so my goal would be to be able to share a URL with my doctor, without having to go through extra steps to create the report. That's what I love about cronometer.. not having to track calories myself and create graphs of data… -
Re: Define sedentary vs. lightly vs. moderately vs. very active
Hi there! The activity levels are defined as the following: Sedentary (adds calories equal to your BMR x 0.2) Little or no exercise. You will burn some additional calories over and above BMR even for light activity such as watching TV, working at a desk, etc. Use this setting if you are synced to a device that tracks… -
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: Diet
@Tikouri I think that @Vickie said it well; the best diet to lose 20 lbs is the one you can follow for the rest of your life. It's key to think about weight management like any other disease that requires medication. But with weight management, the "medication" is food and activity. The reason that diets don't work is they… -
Re: A New User's Question
We are on an elimination diet and as for the decline in energy, I would suggest to go for it. It wouldn't be fair for my Naturopath to post her suggestions online, but she had a nice pamphlet. However, you can find this online, too :) I do a more strict diet as my NP has suggested. Basically, you do it for 4 weeks and add… -
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… -
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…
