Food Variety on CronometerĬronometer pulls food data from multiple major food databases: NCCDB, USDA, ESHA, CRDB. It’s especially useful when tracking those hard to get nutrients like vegan sources of calcium. I’ve found it handy when I’m wondering which foods contribute to which nutrient intake. The most important nutrient targets are at the top of this section, and they are color coded to make it obvious if you’re short on anything.Ī nice feature that cronometer has is how simple it is to see the individual nutrient content of any food you added to that day.īy highlighting a food in your foods list, all the nutrient data will update. It should look something like this when you scroll down a bit: Vitamins, minerals, amino acid breakdown.
#CRONOMETER REVIEWS UPDATE#
How easy is it to view your overall nutritional intake?Īs you add food to a certain day of your food diary, you will notice that the nutritional intake values on the page update with it. Once you add a custom food or recipe, you can search for it when adding foods to your diary, and there’s also a tab for “custom” foods in the search input box. But once you know where everything is it’s simple enough. I think the UI could be improved a bit, the “add ingredients” button isn’t obvious at first. I recorded a short video (no sound) to show you how this works: While it’s not super obvious at first, there is a “FOODS” menu option at the very top.Ĭlicking that brings you to a screen where you can add a single food or recipe. Or what if you make a certain meal often, and don’t want to input the individual foods every time – yes, I actually did this for a few weeks before I looked this up. So what if you can’t find a food that you ate? (And you can’t find a good close alternative.) I’ve had no trouble finding any foods that I wanted, other than a few times when I searched for a very specific brand. It’s a very smart search box, as it seems to show you your most popular foods as default, so it gets faster and faster to use over time. When you click the button, a search box will pop up on the center of your screen. To add food, you click the “add food” button at the top of the screen: You can navigate to different days of your “food diary” using the big green arrows at the top of your screen. I’m just focusing on food tracking in this review, so there’s only a few things I really ever use. The dashboard is clean and there are only a few actions you can take, all of which are at the top of your screen. Other than a few features that I eventually looked up to use, most things are obvious.
Overall, I found Cronometer very intuitive to use. That’s standard for any food tracking app. When you sign up, you answer a few questions to calculate your basal metabolic rate. How easy is it to view your overall nutritional intake?.
