Re: Why is water measured in grams?
Hi @gearup328_2619, 1. Why list spring water? Because I might want to have as detailed a journal as possible. Thus, I am happy to distinguish spring water from tap water. 2. Spring water has no nutrients: In the NCCDB listing in Cronometer it has measurable amounts of calcium, sodium, and magnesium. 3. Drinks should only… -
Re: Resolution and accuracy of calorie deficit over shorter timeframes
You touch on quite a few things. I'll try to summarize what I had originally posted. * Daily weight fluctuation is normal. The average adult's weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 pounds per day. It all comes down to what and when you eat, drink, exercise, and even sleep. Daily weigh-in are moot, in my opinion. I weigh myself… -
Hy
Hello I am a Dr.Mercola follower on social networks and I bought your book here in Portugal. In that same book I found valuable information for a healthy aging. I do not suffer from any disease but I was already a morbid obese, having undergone stomach reduction surgery in 2008. Even though I was thinner by then, my… -

Re: Why do low-carb dieters fail in the long-term?
I'm not going to comment on the keto diet but I can tell you why high carb low fat works for weight loss. It's because you can eat larger amounts of food and still be in a healthy calorie range. It's calorie density. For example I make a lot of soups, casseroles, rice dishes, potato based dishes, tacos, lasagnas, pasta etc… -
Re: Low-Fat Alternatives
@Nemo You are going to find a lot of differing opinions in response to this question. I will try to answer this from different perspectives. :) First, if weight loss is your goal, calories matter most. Most of the time, the sugar difference between a regular and low fat product is only 1 g; this is pretty insignificant but… -
Re: A Question About Milk
Great conversation! Just wanted to add some additional points as an RD: * Inflammation (even low-grade) can be measured. I often hear people referring to inflammation as some secretive lurking illness that can't be identified. It can. :) * One of the biggest contributors to low-grade inflammation is our body weight.… -
Re: Chronometer or Myfitnesspal?
I just started using Cronometer after trying MyFitnessPal for about a month and a half. So far only using the free versions (web and android). I've been logging in both for a few days. Cronometer advantages: * high quality public database * weight based recipe option * tracks more nutrients (data source dependent) * data… -
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: always having the ml / mL option for drinks; alcohol; alternate spellings of foods
Hello @judoman_09 , Sorry for the delay in response! This one must have got a bit buried in our busy forum! ;) 1. For Beverages and items measured by volume, we use the serving size indicated on the label. Because Volume is not directly correlated to weight, we are unable to give a gram amount in these cases. I would in…
