In the spirit of testing the nutrition reporting (HTML export) feature of the CRON-o-Meter, here is today’s crunch.

For breakfast I had my breakfast smoothy (milk, banana, berries, cinnamon, flax oil). For lunch I had two mega muffins, an apple, a small rice pudding, and a large serving of plain vegetables (yams, parsnips, beets, and onions). For dinner I had three egg-whites in turkey blankets, some rice crackers with salsa, and a bowl of organic multi-grain cereal with soy milk.

All those root veggies made it a fairly high carb day overall, but overall, a good low calorie day with most nutritional targets way beyond the RDA values. The only low points were Vitamin D, E and K. I take daily Vitamin D and E supplements, so that’s not a worry. Vitamin K I seem to be low on some days, but quite high on others. I also take a fish oil pill, which probably adds about 10 to 20 calories to the total.

    btw, you said 0.1.8 is posted, but the main page sez 0.1.7 — typo?

    This CRON management stuff looks like it’s become a great way to channel your apparent obsessive-compulsive disorder 😛

    Energy 1785.1 cal
    Protein 80.6 gm * 4 cal/gm = 322.4 cal (18.06% of 1785.1)
    Carbs 317.0 gm * 4 cal/gm = 1268.0 cal (71.03%)
    Fat 37.3 gm * 9 cal/gm = 335.7 cal (18.80%)
    1926.1 cal (107.89%)
    – 1785.1 cal
    141.0 cal
    Please tell me how to reconcile these numbers. I would really like to see the
    percentages added to the nutritional report, if possible. Great program!

      The 4/4/9 multipliers for carb/protein/fat are just rough rule of thumb metrics. The food database contains more precise values for each food.
