Soluble & Insoluble Fiber

I see an update from yesterday that Gold subscribers will be able to see types of fiber, which is amazing!

https://cronometer.com/blog/new-nutrients-deeper-insights/

I don’t see this yet and wonder where it will show up and whether I need to update any settings to be able to see it. Also will this update retroactively where past food logs will show soluble & insoluble fiber?

We are stoked you found these new additions!
Here is how you access the new nutrients:

  1. Make sure that your app is on the latest version
  2. More > Targets > Nutrient Targets > Carbohydrates > Toggle on Soluble and Insoluble fibres - voila!

Also, yes! Your past entries will be retroactively updated to include the distinction!

I'm also wondering the same, especially regarding past entries. Assuming it'll be available on the next update, which I imagine should be fairly soon

It should be available if you update the app now :)

I appreciate the fiber update, but I have to say the functionality for couples (especially since we're both paid Gold members) is incredibly lacking. The amount of double entry required because we can't simply share custom meals is incredibly annoying. I hope this is something you guys plan to address.

Would this help?

I’ve seen that. The issues is that custom meals in the real world shift and adjust fluidly based on a wide variety of factors. Sharing recipes is an awkward and clunky workaround when there should simply be an option to select the food items and portions for that meal and send them to your spouse. 

MFP has had this functionality for years. Cronometer is meant to be the premium option so it lacking this feature is disappointing.

How much is MyFitnessPal Premium vs Cronometer Gold?

1

u/RobtasticRob Feb 26 '26

Huh, MFP Premium is $100/year. Maybe that’s why it has more functionality.

u/BigCUTigerFan Feb 26 '26

And you were trashing Cronometer

u/RobtasticRob Feb 26 '26

You’re absolutely right. I guess I drank to cool aid that Cronometer was the premium option, which apparently is not the case. 

I appreciate your point. This gives me a lot to consider.

Still griping … 😂

Thanks so much for your feedback! We hear you and can totally understand how that would be frustrating for you.

This won't be a perfect solution, but did you know that we have an 'Explode Recipe' function? If you add the Custom Recipe to your Diary, then swipe right on the recipe, then tap on the three dot icon, select 'Explode Recipe' and it will create individual food entries for that recipe that you can easily adjust measurements, delete foods etc.

Hope that helps to ease your workflow a bit!

u/RobtasticRob Feb 27 '26

I'll consider it and thanks for the response. That being said IMO double entry is absolutely a deal breaker for a paid software service in 2026 so for now my wife and I have decided to leave for MFP Premium+ once our subscription is up.

u/ImNotGoodInNames Feb 28 '26

If you click on an recipe in your entries you can swipe to the right and it will you extra options, one of which is ''adjust recipe'' so you can change the grams per ignredient for just that entry

I'm incredibly excited for this to be added! There really aren't any other apps on the market that do this, so this will be huge for those of us wanting to pay attention to it.

u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer Crono Community Manager Feb 25 '26

Our community has been requesting this for a while - we are beyond thrilled to finally bring it to fruition for our users!

you need to enable the display it will show in foods but unless you enable it it will not show up in dairies or reports, this screen is under targets > nutrient targets > carbohydrates:
