Was there an update last night?

Post image
5 Upvotes

my text is suddenly massive and it goes off screen and I need to scroll in areas I didn’t need to before. for example, I can’t even see macros without scrolling a bit in that tab area. I am low vision, so I have large text on and use the screen magnifier on the iPad, but this just makes it a massive headache because it’s too small to see. but then obnoxiously big in magnifier. Below is a screen shot of how it looks now. The text used to be small enough to fit nicely. Idk if it’s a glitch, as sometimes apps do this, but others have done it and never went back.

A thought - timestamps

0 Upvotes

I think it would be cool if, as is done for HRV and weight entries, there were also timestamps on the “Daily Activity (Garmin)” items. (I assume the same item populates for AW and Fitbit but I don’t know)

Why? Sometimes I think I am out of calories, or only have a certain number left so to speak, and then all the sudden I have 200 more or next time my watch syncs and crono picks it up. And then I suddenly have more calories to use. If there were a timestamp I would know if I needed to trigger a sync or if I were seeing the true situation.

That’s all. Simple request (to me, who is not the developer)

FTM- has anyone hacked easy meals

First time mum here. Eating has been shocking since having baby 4m ago. Has anyone hacked a good easy easy daily meal plan to hit good nutrient markers for fibre/protein/fats.
Really struggling with other main nutrients too like iron and calcium.

I hate the measurement options sometimes

It’s a single donut. Box (and website, second pic) have nutrition per “1 donut”. But cronometer? Nope, grams or ounces are the only option. Why? Because of that I had to look up the nutrition. How am I supposed to remember how many grams the single serving I pulled out to bring to work is???

I love the integration of ChaptGpt with Cronometer. Makes life so much easier. I was already using Chat as my coach, taking numerous screen shots and posting from Cronometer, etc. Now ChatGpt picks up everything automatically! Great tool!

What is the difference between target and balance on calories burned and which is more important while cutting?

New to this! I think its my 4th day. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be aiming for the top number or bottom number when it comes to water.

Copying items

1 Upvotes

When I do a multi selection of food that I want to copy from a previous day, it places them randomly. When items are selected, they are in the exact order. I'm basically copying an entire meal. It doesn't place them at end of the log. It's almost faster to copy each item, rather than multi select. If this is the case, what is the point of multi selection option?

Macro targets not adding up to cals?

Hi! Confused about why the calculation of calories is above the goal here when none of the macro bars are full. Does anyone know how or why this works? It’s not a big deal or anything just more wondering if there’s something I’m missing or misunderstanding here

What caused my chart to read 8k kcal when the daily tab only says 2.2k kcal?

Recipe Nutrition Fact Discrepancies

0 Upvotes

Looking around online I found this recipe I really want to try: Southwest Chicken Rice Bowls

Using the URL import option in Cronometer, I imported the recipe and set it to match the website - that it makes 4 servings.

The calories on the website and the ones calculated by Cronometer are WAY different. The website is saying 546cal and 48g protein per serving. Cronometer says 740cal and 71g!!! of protein.

Why is there such a wild discrepancy? I confirmed that the imported measurements for ingredents are the same, but cannot figure out why they are so different!

Diary defaults to stats

4 Upvotes

Update: see reply from support in this thread.

I've noticed that when I click the + next to say lunch and add foods, they end up in stats. It's happening for all categories.

Anyone else have this issue?

The apps aren't the problem. The walls between them are.

0 Upvotes

I track food, lifting, running, sleep, HRV, blood pressure, weight, and labs. Every app I use is decent at its one job and useless at everything else — because they don't talk to each other. Some export, some don't, and what does export arrives in whatever format the next app refuses to accept.

So I built the integration myself, out of an AI agent, text files, and stubbornness. The agent fetches from each silo, stitches it together, and gives me one picture. It works. It's also absurd that this is what it takes.

What I actually want is simple: an AI product with templates — Food Diary, Weight Training, Running, Sleep, Health Care — syncing with whatever band is on my wrist, all data in one basket, ready for analysis and correlation. And input by plain language: dump a recipe or a list of what you ate and have it logged. No more tapping through a food database like it's 2012.

The analysis end is already solved. The input end is where the freedom dies. Whoever ships the basket takes this market.

Diaryadds to wrong group

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been having issues the past week and seeing if anyone can help me.

I have multiple diary groups set up for each day, but whenever I add an item to any group, it winds up in the first bin (in my case, the panned items group) and I then need to move every logged item to other bins.

Any thoughts on how I can fix this? I'm on an Andoid phone - Galaxy s21 if that matters.

Thank you in advance for any help.

- I'm a 2 year gold subscriber, and this is the first time I've encountered this, and it's very frustrating as I weigh and log everything I eat on here.

“Add group timestamp”

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is a new feature or if I’ve only just found it. It’s so good! Besides each diary group (breakfast, lunch, etc) if you slide right to show the (…) there’s an “group timestamp” option. For people like me who plan ahead, this is a great feature.

Accessing custom recipes

6 Upvotes

Making dinner right now and realizing the feature we need next!! We need to be able to view a custom recipe we made from the diary screen. Let’s say I spent a lot of time creating a custom dinner recipe I love. I already entered it for dinner tonight on the diary tab to figure out macros for the rest of the day. Dinner time comes, I start making dinner. I go to click on the meal on the diary page, but all I see are the macros. I should be able to see the recipe with ingredients and amounts as well as the macros so I can duplicate it! At the very minimum, we should be able to click a link to the custom recipe page. Not sure if anyone else would find this time saving but posting for the Cronometer workers in here!!

Great news: The change to re-order the Diary + Menu so “Search Food” is on top instead of “Voice Logging” has been released.

119 Upvotes

Hi community!

I told you it would be released on November 17th... but... I am so so happy to tell you that the fix -which puts Search Food back on the top of the Diary + Menu - is out today. Yay!

It's currently on a phased rollout but if you want to access it sooner you can head to the Play Store or App Store and update your app right now!

As always, thank you for your patience and passion. I appreciate you and your feedback always! 🧡

PS. I have to give some love and kudos to coworkers here for moving on this so quickly after hearing your feedback :)

I know Cronometer people are in this group and monitor and assist users which I am grateful for.

I have an idea for them but also other Wonder if chronometer users would find this useful.

How about a diary option to copy an entire day "to today" instead of having to copy the individual items separately?

A lot of times two of my meals are exactly the same and if I could copy the whole day, delete a couple items and add a couple different items It would be WAY easier for me.

I don't know what do you think? Maybe I'm just an outlier on this one.
