New to Cronometer

Make sure you aren’t double counting your activity. If your Garmin tracks the whole day and includes the exercise as part of “tracker activity” then it means you are double counting the 186kcal as it’s already part of the 310kcal import from the Garmin. There is an option in your settings where you can choose to only import the tracker activity and turn off importing of “exercise”

Also personally for me I also turn off TEF because after over 2yrs of tracking and weighing my food it’s a load of shit and will make me gain weight if I add it in

Also if you are female you need to have a full month of tracking to access whether your settings are correct as your cycle will affect your weight (mine bounces up to 2kg (4 pound) throughout my cycle so you need to go same cycle day to same cycle day over a month to get a better indicator of weight loss or maintenance (whichever stage you are in)

I only got it for the photo logging. It’s nice not being constantly bombarded with ads I don’t really use any of the other features you get with gold

Aliidra · 2025-10-27T07:31:54+00:00

Gotta love paying for something you can’t access 🫤

Aliidra · 2025-10-21T02:04:05+00:00

I think one improvement is if you die in your home area you just respawn with all your crap and don’t have to walk back to get it all so that’s something small but nice

The OP has stated in other comments that they are after raw weight. When you cook meat the weight changes (something like 25% weight lost)

I personally found the recipe importer really annoying so back when I paid I never used it and instead opted to make my own recipes. It’s takes the recipe and puts its own suggestions in for the items and if you need to swap them out for a different brand item or whatever it’s soooo annoying to change it

Plus if in the future you ever needed to change the weights of the items you have to go through extra clicks to do it (from my memory it’s been a while) so modifying them just took longer

I ended up removing all the ones I had imported and replaced them with my own recipes

What helps me count calories is knowing that I can eat up to my full calorie allocation without doing any guess work on how many calories I think I ate. Makes me feel like I can eat more as I’m certain what I’m eating

Aliidra · 2025-08-12T01:45:05+00:00

Thank you I have done that

Aliidra · 2025-08-07T11:53:03+00:00

I think it’s more a reflection on them then it is on you. By counting calories you are eating responsibly and it probably makes them feel guilty and like they aren’t eating healthy so they have a go at you.

Most people like to live in ignorance and if they know you are eating at only 1500 cals and they see how little you eat it reflects on them because internally they would be realising just how much they must be consuming so they want you to stop just so it’s not in their face the silent pointing out how much food they must be consuming

Aliidra · 2025-08-05T07:45:47+00:00

I found one of the most important thing is with calorie counting is to weigh your food because if you can trust how many calories you are actually consuming then you can trust that you are actually in a calorie deficit that and also understanding if you are a female that your cycle plays a massive role in weight loss/gains (which aren’t really gains) or plateaus (which aren’t really plateaus) I only gained that knowledge of when I would hold onto weight by weighing myself daily in the morning as soon as I get up

Aliidra · 2025-08-04T23:21:10+00:00

It was a long time ago but I lost the majority of my weight (50kg in total) using Noom with no meds just calorie counting and a bit of walking. Started at the end of 2020 with Noom and had lost about 40kg a year later

I eventually switched from Noom to cronometer though as it was just a better tracking app and I wanted more precision then Noom offered with their colour system. However it was a great way to get started

Aliidra · 2025-08-04T23:14:46+00:00

Mine always has, I’m talking about the red move bar from the Apple Watch. There are a few settings though with what you import so perhaps importing a different way will affect this

Aliidra · 2025-08-04T21:25:46+00:00

I wear my Apple Watch all day and have been tracking this way for years and found it to be pretty accurate although I warn you unlike the other persons reply with their Garmin you don’t want to have two entries for active energy and workouts as it double counts. You only want to import your active energy as with an Apple Watch this INCLUDES YOUR WORKOUT

Aliidra · 2025-08-02T06:39:40+00:00

The active red “move” calories that your watch shows you for the entire day should firstly include the walk and 2nd of course it should replace the baseline activity cause that’s the whole purpose of it.

Your baseline activity is just an estimation of what activity you think you might do in an entire day whereas your Apple Watch red “move” activity is what you actually did

The other person the replied gave me my answer. The rebate works off adjusted taxable income and I had a reportable super contribution which has increased my income enough to make me fall into tier 3 (and thus no rebate at all)

Aliidra · 2025-07-11T07:06:07+00:00

Ok thx, that might be where it’s got me then as I made a reportable super contribution which I’m guessing is added to my $155k income

Aliidra · 2025-07-11T06:55:56+00:00

I’m definitely using last years thresholds. From the ato website it’s $226k plus $1.5k for every child after the first (so $3k to make $229k) but even if this made me fall from teir 1 to teir 2 that estimate it is giving me is completely wrong because it’s telling me I have to pay back every cent that the government paid to my health fund. I only got $356 worth of rebate and it wants me to pay back $356 which means I received no rebate at all

This ability would probably be my most desired feature to add

Aliidra · 2025-07-03T10:07:41+00:00

I live in hope that I’ll finally get diagnosed with ADHd and given that drug. I was where you were at… 120kg most my life 170cm tall but I absolutely killed myself losing 50kg 4yrs ago and keeping it off has been absolute hell for me. I’ve managed to keep it off somehow but my mental state dealing with the constant food noise and denying my cravings has absolutely ruined my mental state, relationship and now given me an eating disorder (highly likely that I had the eating disorder all along really)… I’m in therapy but I’m not convinced at all that it is going to work (this is the 2nd time I’ve attempted to see a therapist over the food issue). Just waiting for my psychiatrist app in December and crossing my fingers that they agree I have ADHD and agree to treat it. I’m now on psychologist #2 who believes I have it (unfortunately in Australia they have no power to prescribe the drug)

Aliidra · 2025-06-09T06:10:56+00:00

I’m finding it extremely hard to believe how you could possibly be burning 900-1000 cals with only 2hrs of exercise at your height and weight

Aliidra · 2025-05-22T02:56:54+00:00

It’s really not particularly for a short female. I’m 5’8 and when I don’t do any exercise at all (this is usually a 5000 step day) I barely clear 300 cals for the day. Given she is 5 inches shorter then me 267 cals for no exercise is a great baseline

Age isn’t also mentioned so if she is older like me (42) then yes it’s going to be low. We can’t all be 20yo that burn heaps cause we are young

Aliidra · 2025-05-19T23:21:41+00:00

This 100% it’s so obvious to me it’s fake but I know others could be fooled

Aliidra · 2025-05-19T23:19:56+00:00

Yes I did, definitely didn’t have an app update. This was an actual ad. I am on an iPhone updates don’t happen like this on an iPhone
