Methods of nutritional analysis of food products: Lab analysis - ideal for heavily processed foods, but takes time and costs $800-1000 per sample; Nutrition analysis software - fast and convenient; one is $50 per month for unlimited recipes; Consultants
Like every software application, it has some areas where I think there should be improvement and the team is certainly working to add additional functionality and improvements to the product. Outside of application functionality, one thing that pretty much sold me on the Gold subscription is the customer support.
You can also see what nutrients are in a food before you add them to your diary. Select the food from the list of search results. You will see the amount of macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat) in the selected serving of the food. Click on the link just below to see the full nutrient profile for the food (circled below) Best,
The check marks in the Visible column of the Nutrient Targets determines which nutrient targets you will see in your Diary page. Tick/un-tick each box if you would like to add or remove nutrients from your targets. The Calories Summary section shows you the percent of energy coming from each of the macronutrients based on the foods you have eaten.
@PastryDiva You can view a report that shows Micro/Macro nutrient intake for a set period of time as well as Biometric Charts for Biometrics of your choosing by accessing the "Trends" Tab and selecting "Full Report". After selecting "Print" you can choose to save to PDF so that you can email the report.
If your priority is to use the most detailed information for a food, we recommend choosing entries from the NCCDB (Nutrition Coordinating Center Food & Nutrient Database) or USDA SR28 (United States Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference) in the Common Foods Tab.
I am new to Chronometer, and I have no particular dieting philosophy at this point outside “reduce calories.” Should I simply leave the Target Macronutrient Ratios at Default (Fixed Targets) based on the RDA?
Can you include a nutrient tracking option "trace minerals" (tracked in milligrams). There are around 70 trace minerals which are often found in sea salts and some types of mineral complexes. these are a lot of minerals to track and often in such small amounts, but it would still be helpful (and relatively simple to implement!) to add a single item in the nutrient list to know whether a ...
When we have enough valid data available for any nutrient we do not currently track we will add it as an option. Unfortunately, we don't have the data for any further breakdown of Omega 3 from our primary sources for our database. We do not analyse nutrients here at Cronometer, therefore we must rely upon these sources for our database.
In general, you can feel confident that you are getting adequate amounts of each nutrient if you reach the RDA or AI (which meets the nutrient needs of 97-98% of the population). One other option is to set your target to somewhere just below the UL (upper limit).
