Re: How to gain healthy weight?
I @garry First off, I always want to mention that humans come in all shapes and sizes and the weight you are may be the ideal weight for health. :smiley: That said, here are my practical recommendations for safe weight gain... Just like weight loss, weight gain should be slow (~1-2 lbs per week). From your "maintenance"… -
Focusing on Calorie Density as Effective Way to Lose Weight
I have seen a growing focus on structuring ones diet so that the overall calorie density (calories per pound) is around a specific value rather than trying to limit portion size as a way to, as advocates of this way say, "lose weight without losing your mind" (1). This is based on large amounts of research showing that the… -
Custom Nutrients
I know it's been suggested before, and one of the options presented to people asking for the ability to add custom nutrients was a clever workaround using custom biometrics, but I'm gonna suggest it again to bring up some possibilities custom nutrients would create for users. * Custom nutrients can be any supplement;… -
Are the Macro bars showing correct information for the total?
Help shows this info regarding the 4 macro bars - "If the default fixed targets are used, the four macro bars will all show fixed targets which you can configure by click on the bars. For all other selections, the targets will be dynamically computed based on several factors. The energy target will be derived dynamically… -

Re: What adjustments to my diet? (Type 1 diabetic + limited animal products)
I'm not diabetic but at risk for prediabetes, so I'm trying to reduce my carb intake. I am also lactose intolerant so dairy isn't fun to eat (although I take lactaid pills.) I'm also allergic to shellfish (again I sometimes indulge) and am trying to reduce my red meat intake. So, in short, in a similar position diet wise.… -
Re: Linking to Garmin Connect app
The big thing about this, is Garmin probably has some sort of exclusive deal with MFP. I love my Garmin Venu, and they actually have a nice API to allow push and pull for specific things (like the info Cronometer pulls from Garmin currently), but some metrics, such as the food information is not available. They also pull… -
Re: How does Cronometer handle changing nutrition values for packaged foods?
After testing Cronometer, it seems I've found the answer to my original question - packaged food/supplements are added to the database with seemingly no regard to whether or not there is an existing entry in the database. For example, suppose I want to add Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, French… -
Re: Recipe net carbs vs. exploded recipe
@Linda_P3 Great question! I won't sugarcoat it, I think us nerdy-types don't like subtracting sugar alcohols from total carbs because that is a broad category of molecules. Some have very little energy, like the erythritol you find in many Atkins products has about 0.2 kcal/g - very few calories, compared with regular old… -
Re: Ever heard of developing neurological symptoms on a vegan diet?
Without knowing which food has been eaten there is no way to indicate anything. Its very easy for unexperienced vegans to eat wrong. You can get any needed nutrient plant based, but you need to balance yourself, widely outside the habits, and this is the problem. With our "old habitual" diet we had an instinct what to eat.…
