I used to be able to track my micronutrients with the Cronometer app, but viewing them is behind a subscription paywall now. I don’t mind paying for an app but I’m not going to pay $10 monthly for this. Anyone here uses any alternatives?
Edit: I was wrong, I just wasn’t looking at the right spot, thanks to u/ashtree35 for pointing that out.
I’ve been a user of the free version of Cronometer for about six months. This is just about the only app I know of that captures micronutrients. As far as free apps go it’s probably one of the better ones out there in terms of data accuracy, bar code scanning, and its daily report.
I assume when you mean tracking micronutrients you are referring to being able to graph them over longer periods of time? Because as a free user I can still see all of the roughly 80 things that it tracks per item as well as in the daily report, just not graph them over time.
This hasn’t been a issue for me - I tend to be OMAD and use the app to plan out my food to get the most nutritional value per calorie in a day. My cut off is usually about 80% of my “all targets” nutritional goal and then a couple times a week I’ll look at my seven day average nutritional report and if there are items that are a little low I’ll switch thing up and concentrate on those micronutrients - which keeps food interesting, but I find myself rotating between a couple of core food items.
It’s been useful enough for me and I haven’t been able to find anything else out there paid or free that has the same level of detail. I’ll probably pay for the annual subscription (which is only $50 a year) the next time it goes on sale just to get the longer time spans in my reports now that I’ve got about six months of data stored in it.
I’ve been using this app called Nutritionix Track on iPhone and love it. You can scan barcodes, manually enter servings and portions, create your own meals, etc all for free. It has some bugs but its great for being free
