Cronometer: Calorie Counter

A nutrition tracker for people who want more than calories

Cronometer: Calorie Counter is a food diary for tracking calories, macronutrients, and a broad range of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. It suits people managing weight, training goals, hydration, or general nutrition who want to see what their meals contribute beyond a single calorie total.

Why it earns the switch

Many calorie counters stop at calories and macros. Cronometer makes micronutrient tracking a central part of the experience, with data for up to 84 nutrients and compounds. That makes it a better pick if you want to spot gaps in your diet, set specific nutrient targets, or understand why a day’s food looks balanced on paper but is missing something important.

• Log food with a barcode scanner, saved meals, recipes, and repeat entries.
• Use photo logging to identify meal ingredients and estimate portions, then review the results before saving them.
• Set calorie, macro, hydration, and nutrient goals rather than relying on one default target.
• Connect supported fitness, sleep, glucose, and wearable services for a broader view of your routine.
• Review charts and create reports when you need to discuss your records with a health professional.

Useful for detailed self-tracking

This is not only a weight-loss app. It can also fit strength, endurance, or balanced-eating plans, especially when your focus includes protein, minerals, hydration, or recovery habits. Custom biometrics, nutrient charts, food suggestions, and the Nutrient Oracle add detail for users who are willing to log consistently.

A well-established choice

Developed by Cronometer Software Inc., the Health & Fitness app has 1,000,000+ installs and a 4.61 rating from 50,939 ratings. Choose it over a basic calorie counter if accurate, detailed nutrition records are the reason you are tracking in the first place.
