help Cronometer FAQ

Why do keto and bodybuilding users often pick Cronometer over MyFitnessPal?

Cronometer tracks micronutrients in detail, including minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and net carbs. MyFitnessPal is broader and more social, while Cronometer is more appealing when targets like sodium, potassium, magnesium, or protein grams matter.

Where does Cronometer get its food data?

Cronometer emphasizes curated nutrition databases such as USDA and NCCDB rather than relying only on user-submitted entries. That matters because a random barcode entry can miss micronutrients even when calories and macros look correct.

Can Cronometer track fasting and biometrics too?

Yes, Cronometer supports fasting timers, body measurements, biometrics, and custom charts. It also connects with platforms such as Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, and Oura depending on the plan and device.

Is Cronometer useful without paying for Gold?

Yes, the free version covers food logging, calorie targets, macros, and detailed nutrient reports. Cronometer Gold mainly adds features like fasting tools, custom charts, diary groups, and an ad-free experience.
