#CRONOMETER SOFTWARE#
Given the benefit I derived from Cronometer, I decided to use the nutrition software in my practice and quickly realized that not only was it saving me time and energy, it was also empowering my clients to make more informed food decisions. How Cronometer can enhance your nutrition practice As a result of this feedback, I started adding almonds to bump up my vitamin E intake, and a tablespoon of hemp seeds to bring my ratio of omega 3 to 6 into the desirable range. Not only did Cronometer accurately predict my calorie and protein requirements, it also looked at essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, alerting me to those that were low in my diet. On the advice of a friend, I decided to test out Cronometer for a few days using my own diet and was impressed with the results. I have dabbled with various nutrition apps in the past, but am usually underwhelmed by the nutrients analyzed and the databases used. Consequently, I often feel as though I only have a snapshot of my clients’ true dietary intake.

And despite feeling knowledgeable and competent in my role, it is difficult to determine the dietary adequacy for all essential forty-ish nutrients from memory. Although this provides me with valuable information about my clients’ dietary patterns and nutrient intakes, the process is quite tedious and time-consuming. As such, I spend much of my day conducting food recalls and analyzing dietary records. In my practice, I am an expert consultant on vegan and vegetarian diets, and specialize in weight management and eating disorder recovery. Head over to Cronometer’s site to check out their other health and nutrition topics! Even if you’re not a healthcare professional, you can benefit from the read and the advice included in the post. My first blog is for my fellow RDs and details how I use the app in my practice to enhance the client experience. I’m excited to announce that I have teamed up with the team of creative minds behind the dietary tracking app, Cronometer, as an expert nutrition consultant! Not only will I be hanging out in the forum answering your burning nutrition questions, I will also be writing blogs on a variety of nutrition topics.
