  • Homepage graphs you can scroll through that show; consumed calories, burned calories, and remaining calories; energy, protein, net carbs, fat; 8 valuable micronutrients.
  • The recipe maker is great for items you make on a regular basis and want to have a quick add to your diary.
  • The app connects with so many outside apps that track your fitness, making the process a little more automated.
  • You can save certain foods as favorites if you eat them a lot. That way they are easier to input.
  • The barcode scanner feature makes life easy.

Disikes

  • The only goal to choose from is a “weight goal” there aren’t options for other types of food goals like; tracking sugar intake, gaining muscle mass, etc.

The Backstory

Cronometer was built as a side project back in 2005. The CEO was following the CRON (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) diet and needed an app to track the diet. Several years later, he realized he was onto something and quit his full-time job to focus on improving Cronometer.

The Bottom Line

Even the free version of Cronometer is a fantastic app for anyone that wants to track daily nutrition and exercise. The app makes tracking net calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients easy.
