CRON-O-METER question? Slow cooker AKA crock pot

June 23, 2009

I'm at work now and can't try it, but I'll let you know. There are

others on this list who use CRON-O-METER; perhaps one of them might

step in and answer?

I notice you use Cron-O-metre. The linux

installation instructions are

not clear to me so I have asked for help in the Ubuntu conference. Can

you tell me if the program allows you to drill down on a nutrient. For

example if it says you have eaten 700mg of calcium, can you drill down

to see what foods have contributed to the total and how much they have

each provided?

i am a cronometer user. it enables you to select foods/recipes and see how much macro and micro nutrients were contributed by each food. you are however unable to go backwards and select a nutrient and see which which food contributed how much to that nutrient. did that make sense? all in all, it is by far the best nutrition software, i've use. my only complaint is that it is not web based. but that's minor.

I downloaded it and gave it a try – I don’t eat a lot of individual foods, so I’d need to be able to load recipes in – and you can do that, but some of the most basic ingredients weren’t there to choose from so it would be really hard. Like yesterday, I made lasagna, so I thought I’d put that recipe in. But I could not find lasagna noodles in the list, and even just finding normal pasta was hard. I’m using the Mac version, but I imagine it would have the same foods listed? In any case, it’s a great idea if it had more foods available to choose from.
