1/5/2024 0 Comments Cronometer gold![]() The more calories you burn, the higher your calorie requirement becomes and then your protein requirement goes up accordingly. IMHO this is even a good target for athletes. I think a better alternative to fixed targets is to use MacroNutrient Ratios instead. but CronOmeter can take care of that for you in the Settings > Target controls. One special need that some people have is that they are trying to gain or lose weight. and I've reset all my goals to regular person ones. but I did so with the guidance of a RD and I had a RD because I was very sick ( I lost 30 pounds in 2 months). First I'm saying that you should change NOT change your targets, and then I admit to doing so. * if you were paying attention you may think you spotted an inconsistency or maybe even hypocrisy on my part. If you have doubts you can check out any number of protein calculators that they have on the web or use one of the formulas that are Dr. **my best advice is just to use the default that CronOmeter comes up with after you set up your profile. I think a lot of this is due to advertising (brain washing) by the supplement industry and the food companies (mostly livestock and dairy). Also from my own personal experience and some reading I've concluded that a lot of people over estimate their protein requirements. Unless you really know what your are doing and then only if you have some sort of special needs. I think people would be best advised not to mess with the targets. One a cronometer issue and one a straight up nutrition issue.ġ. If you're eating clean - this may not even be an issue. If you are eating a processed food it might not know the AA and then it doesn't get worked into the calculations. CronOmeter only knows the AA for most foods. )Īnd if you are not meeting your AA targets take that with a grain of salt. ![]() I even asked my RD about this and she never checked with CronOmeter but her guess was that you might change your protein requirements in the app and then not meet them but the app calculates your AA requirements based on biology (ht, wt, age, gender, etc. And I'm pretty sure it is because I increased my protein requirements. I won't be able to check that out till tomorrow but I think that will be really cool. The main thing is I think my calories burned will now come from Apple Health. I'm still trying to make sense of most of it. Lots of data are saved from CronOmeter to Health. I downloaded it and it now talks to Apple Health on my iPhone. I am not sure what it does but I think you get if for free if you become a gold member. The recipe even has a note feature - I have been thinking of organizing my recipes anyway and now I'm just going to put the directions in the notes.Ģ. If you take a lot of supplements you can just put them all in the recipes, too. So you have a recipe - you plug in all the ingredients - estimate the number of servings and then just add a serving of the "recipe" to any day. I also tend to make the same recipe over and over again. This is so much better for people like me who do bulk food cooking. This week I learned that no, anyone can make a recipe. I always thought that the "recipe feature" was an advanced feature that only Gold members had - and I was too cheap to pay for it. I have been using CronOmeter for everything every day.ġ. Which is exactly the opposite of how my goals have been. This month my main goal is to get my calorie consumption up, my weight up, etc. I know it has impressed me and that makes staying consistent much more enjoyable.If I had a nickel for every time I recommended CronOmeter to someone here in the forum TDLR: if this app is something you’re still interested in, it may be worth revisiting now! lots of changes that set it apart from other food logging apps. it’s interesting to see people’s different reasons for wanting Gold. What makes me want to get Gold is, I’m curious to see what their nutrient/food suggestions are to optimize my health based on my typical intake. If you point the camera at the barcode and nutrition label it will scan all the information (and it actually works!!), I think all this sets them apart from the other apps. If your entry has the correct data, they reach out to you to let you know. I’ve also tried Cronometer’s optional “enter a new food to the public database” feature recently for a barcode food that wasn’t searchable, and it’s really cool to see the app actually take the feedback they get from their users. Their units are also way more consistent across their foods, making it easy to track any food using whatever metric I want to be accurate (I found MFP neglects grams a lot and will use cups etc) I have found Cronometer’s entries are much more detailed and fact-checked than MFP’s databases. I have very recently made the switch from MFP to Cronometer.
