Re: How do I decide on my daily targets?
I am similarly interested in longevity. There are research studies in animals and humans that suggest the life- and health-extending benefits of calorie restricted, low protein (especially animal protein), and intermittent fasting (or fasting mimicking) diets. There is no consensus among professionals with regards to macro… -
Re: Being able to create "Ratios" (for Goldmembers possibly?)
The following isn't a straightforward ratio, but would be a useful capability to have, as well. It's the sum of two amino acids divided by the sum of two other amino acids. I came across it in the comments section of a blog. Darryl June 7, 2014 at 4:47 pm I’m glad you gave this study a fair hearing. I too think the glycine… -
Re: the deficit confuses me? did i eat too much, or not enough? and what is the k in kcal mean?
Hi tcseacliff, Here is a description of the Calories Summary from another thread ((https://forums.cronometer.com/discussion/comment/5201#Comment_5201 if you would like to check out the discussion): The Budget takes into account Calories Burned minus Calories Consumed to show you how many calories you have left to maintain… -
Cronometer Beta Build 1 Notes
Hi Everyone! By now, most of you have the beta build. As you fire it up and have a look, you’ll notice a ton of improvements to many aspects of the app. Instead of having to hunt around for all those changes, I have made a brief list of them below. Try them all out, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. If I have… -
Changing the Recipes-Game
I would love to do a "Steeve Jobs"-Inspired video but I am a bit shy, but over the past weeks that I have been using Cronometer I have noticed three things. This is going to be a bit lengthly, so grab a tea ^^ First - I absolutly love the app, the website and having the insight into all of the different nutrients. Since I… -
Re: Should I up my intake if I still want to lose fat % but also exercise or not?
Yes BMI is not a good metric to track. At 6'3" 220lbs I'm on the verge of obesity according to BMI. The targets given by Cronometer (or other calculators) are great starting points. Understand that they come from studies on populations, and are averages. You specifically, however, are an individual. You must account for… -
Re: How can I use Cronometer as a meal-planner?
On the web version of the app, you can go Foods --> Ask The Oracle and search for a particular nutrient, asking the system to rank it by most per gram, or most per kCal. You can include or exclude certain food categories. I meal-plan about 3/4 of my meals. Most of us have 5-6 things we always eat. I put those in as… -
Re: Frozen and Precooked Weights Used, rather then weighed after cooking.
The USDA has data for yield after cooking and also retention data for nutrients and alcohol. Unfortunately the yield is for meat and poultry products only (the nutrient retention factor data covers a lot, lot more though). For the yield -- i.e. basically how much moisture they'll lose -- of vegetables you can, if you're… -
Fasting features are unusable/useless to me. (Would like others to add their own experiences here!)
I have used all of the top fasting apps for Android pretty extensively, so please read this with the understanding that I am comparing Cronometer's fasting functionality to the functionality of a dedicating fasting app. I'd really like to use Cron for fasting, since I use it for everything else, but I don't enjoy it and… -
