So I downloaded this:http://spaz.ca/cronometer/After seeing Levke's thread about her cronometer it made me want to go searching for one.So this one you download to your computer and use it. I'm hoping it'll satisfy my mom. So whenever she tells me that I'm not getting enough proteins or calories or whatever, I'll just pull it up on the cronometer...What do you think?
You need to be a member of The Frugivore Diet to add comments!
I am using the online version and I just bought the app. This tool helped me to see just how much fruit I need to be eating. Goodness, these quantities seem so ridiculous to my family, especially my dad. Almost every morning he looks at me and says, "You're gonna eat all that???"
I actually have used CoM to do exactly that. My mom was particularly interested in how I was getting enough protein and EFAs, so I first explained to her that we really need a lot less than people think and then showed her how the foods I eat give me plenty. So if your mom is willing to listen/look, it's a great idea.
Just make sure you set all of the targets to the values that would be recommended for a 811er - or else it will show that you're not getting enough of certain things, when in reality you're getting plenty and just don't need as much as the RDA for SAD eaters. (Search the forum and/or contact Adam for the values.)
Thanks for that. I saw Adam posted the values on Levke's thread so I'm gonna steal from that :p
I'm probably gonna have to trick/beg/force my mom into looking at it. She won't listen to anything I have to say unless she's heard it first from a doctor...
