2.1.4 Cronometer

Cronometer (https://cronometer.com) is a freemium online app which can visualise the performance of your current eating strategy / habits / restrictions and allow you to make positive changes. It has a mobile app for data collection and basic reporting. Using a desktop / laptop allows access to richer reporting options and diary view.

Logging at least two days of eating in Cronometer would be very helpful for identifying problems and also help you rebuild / restore your relationship with food, especially as any sensitivities are reduced / resolved over the duration of the protocol. (see “2.2.1 Diet”)

People usually find this process eye-opening.

When selecting food items to enter into the virtual diary, choosing NCCDB or USDA listed food items will provide more micronutrient data. CRDB (user-entered, moderated entries) only contain information displayed on the product labels rather than laboratory identified data.
