Excellent Nutrition App
CRON-O-Meter is a stupendous app for people who really want to understand their nutrition. Other apps may have more foods in their databases, but that’s because they rely on user-generated foods that are often duplicates of each other or riddled with errors; COM has foods from authoritative government and academic scientific sources as well as vetted community-generated entries. And it gives you the full power to see *very* detailed nutrition info, not just calories, carbs, protein, and fat, or just what’s on the food label. And it displays it in a clear, action-oriented way that reflects the individual user’s priorities and concerns.
It’s easy to use and with a lot of flexibility. The new interface for the iPhone app from late September 2015 is very nice.
To reviewers complaining about the macros: actually, CRON-O-Meter uses the more accurate method of tracking how much actual available energy there is from protein, carbs, and fat: when this leads to discrepancies with crude use of the “4-4-9” Calories-per-gram or the simple subtraction of fiber grams from carb grams encouraged by the overly-simplistic “net carb” notion, it’s COM that has it right.
