![]() ![]() ![]() Protein is typically the macronutrient that can run a bit low if we do not pay attention to it, so basing servings of a recipe off of your desired protein content can be helpful. When you are ready to eat, simply place your desired plate/bowl onto your food scale, press “tare” to zero the scale, add the desired portion of your recipe, then log that weight (in grams) into Cronometer from your saved recipe. Storing recipes as a batch-made meal in one large container can give you more variety during the week (mix-and-match sides with your recipe) as well as more freedom in adjusting portion sizes during the week. Cronometer will also generate a weight in grams based on the servings (or cups) you list. If you are not using a food scale at the moment, no worries! When you choose “Servings Based” or “Weight Based” in the initial recipe creation, you can also add another unit of measurement for your servings (ex: cups). All food scales will have a “grams” setting. The standard weight measurement for recipes created in Cronometer is listed in grams. “Full recipe - _ g” (how much the entire recipe weighs in grams) “Serving size - _ g” (how much 1 serving weighs in grams) You have the recipe created in Cronometer, now it’s time to eat! You will see that your custom recipe shows a few options under “Serving Size”: To add to diary: “Add Food,” “Custom,” click recipe name from your list (or search recipe name under “All” and your custom recipe will pop up) Click “Save Recipe” and recipe will be saved to your “My Recipes” tab under “Foods”ġ0. You will now be shown the serving sizes(s) and macronutrients for your recipeĩ. ![]() Optional: add notes to the recipe, click “Next”Ĩ. Choosing “Weight Based” will give you the entire recipe’s weight in grams as well as the option to input your chosen # of grams (“Servings Based” will do this as well)ħ. If your recipe lists # of servings, choose “Servings Based” (most common) Once all ingredients have been added, click “Next”Ĭhoose “Servings Based” or “Weight Based”** Instead of adding multiple food items each and every day to your food diary you can either copy and paste a previous day's food or use the steps below to create a new recipe.Ĭlick “Add Ingredient” and begin to add the entirety of the ingredients you are using for the recipe (ex: 16 ounces of raw chicken breasts, 400g diced tomatoes, 112g sharp cheddar shredded cheese) If the URL isn’t compatible, use Option 2 below.Ĭreating a recipe that you have made or adding one from the internet is an easy way to account for creativity in the kitchen or condense foods that you eat on a daily basis into a one-click item. **Cronometer is always adding new recipes into its database, but may not have the specific recipe of the URL you pasted. To add to your food diary: “Add Food,” “Custom,” click recipe name from your list (or search recipe name under “All” and your custom recipe will pop up) Here is a step by step guide:ĭouble check foods/servings/macros for accuracy Simply copy and paste the URL of the recipe’s website into Cronometer, double check auto-filled ingredients and portions, and then click “save changes” to create a new recipe. This is the most convenient method of adding a recipe into your food log. Just like with any new task, the more that you practice logging a recipe the easier (and faster) you will be at it! Cronometer makes it so you can add a recipe by either copying and pasting the URL of the website or adding in individual ingredients yourself. ![]()
