Free PDF Guide - Keto Strategy Tips 👉 https://drbrg.co/45zLxkW

well hey everyone today we have a special guest Aaron Davison is the CEO of a company chronometer and it’s an app it’s pretty cool it allows you to track 60 nutrients and probably I don’t know it could be more by now I was just kind of getting this off your website over 7500 different foods and in the analysis of your your macros and your nutrients so if you’re doing the key tell and if’ you can track this data so welcome and thank you for spending some time just kind of answering some questions that I have oh yeah thanks for having me absolutely you know when you do the keto plan I get this over and over and over like what do I track my calories dry track my nutrients one of the macros so you have one of the top best apps out there and so I wanted to bring you on just to see what you’re up to see what this app is all about and then some features that you have that are new that I think people will be excited about so can you kind of just tell us a little bit about your app and a thumbnail sketch and and this and also then you maybe can pull up a screen too when you’re when you’re ready on on what you have with keto your thing yeah we’re all about tracking we’re all about data and deep nutrition data in particular and and all about science so we really try to take a we’re trying to present a tool we’re not trying to push any kind of particular diet or regimen on anyone where we try to stay impartial but we also try and follow the research and keep on top of the trends that are in the space and yeah like like you mentioned we have Sony more than much more than 7,500 Foods the interesting we have hundreds of thousands but we have two types of foods in our database which is important for everyone to be aware of so we have foods that have the full spectrum of nutrition so these have the 60 micronutrients all the amino acids vitamins minerals fat breakdown car breakdown write down and just sugar subtypes sugar alcohols and and just immense amount of data when you want to like understand what’s in food but that is limited to a small subset of our database so that is typically whole foods and greed common ingredients and very classic popular products from mainly from the US market that so these are foods that have gone into the labs and been extensively analyzed so that we have all these data points then there’s the hundreds and hundreds of thousands every year new products they’re like on the market on the shelves that are shrink-wrapped we don’t have like obviously those products don’t get analyzes heavily and we just have what’s on the label for most of those or what’s published by it say the restaurants nutrition facts and they’re not going to publish or even do the lab work to give you you you know the full spectrum and all they’re not going to share the ingredients if we knew the exact ingredients that went into it obviously we could create a food you know compiled from the thing our ingredient database and we would know what what’s in it but that’s just not what happens in the food industry right now so we do try and show you that within the app and all when I demo I’ll show the way you can sort of discern if you’re interested in just tracking macros it doesn’t matter because that’s always unavailable but if you’re also in the nutrients then you have to focus your what you’re working with to real foods and if you’re eating real food and preparing your meals it’s never an issue it’s it’s when you mean the stuff you shouldn’t be eating or the problems it’s just there’s so many of those it’s like I don’t even think personally I don’t think we should even track that because you shouldn’t be eating in the first place what is there a database that you tapped into where you get the data or how do you do that yeah so we we source our data from a number of databases and we have our own in-house curation team as well Wow that works on constantly enhancing and expanding your database both from the product side and the research side are you able to see my screen now yeah okay so this is this is the web version there’s also a mole version that looks a little simpler but all the functionality is still there and so this is the diary which we’re focused around and in your diary you get a list of what’s happened through the day and then you’re gonna know nothing’s showing here because I haven’t logged anything today so I’m gonna demonstrate that but you can see the list of vitamins minerals protein lipids carbs and miscellaneous you can track and see information on and you can also log your exercises you can record biometrics so anything can measure whether it’s like your ferret and blood levels your blood glucose your ketone readings that can also get dumped in here and graphed alongside nice and freeform notes and photos can also be kept in your in your journal here as well but the the basic workflow here would be to add I’m gonna start with my breakfast so I had two eggs and I’m just gonna make sure I go so we have a couple of different categories I had been clicked on brands here restaurants products that are supplements pills and whatnot and then common foods would be foods that are in that whole food database yeah so if you do want to be sure that you’re getting comprehensive nutrition you can limit your searches on this tab let’s say for example you had a piece of meat for breakfast and would you how does it measure in ounces or grams or um yeah so so every food will have a number of different serving sizes it will come up with the default of what’s the most popular but you cannot have old logging grams ounces and then if various serving sizes are provided by the curators you would also be able to select those okay so I’m just saying to medium eggs in my scrambled eggs and I’m gonna add some bacon three strips of bacon avocado half an avocado and you can see I’m filio my breakfast here I’ve actually the count I’m demoing here is already configured I believe with in our ketogenic settings mode so normally in the default app this would actually over here be showing calories but you can change this to net carbs for instance if and I want to be more focused on on carb tracking you still get your whole calorie energy and an out balance here so here we can see we’ve gotten seventy percent of her calories so far from fats eight percent from carbs 22 percent from protein we can see where my end my predicted energy burn for the day based on my body type so my basal metabolic rate and general activity now if I went and logged exercise will also see so I feel went for a thirty minute jog I’m just gonna drag that up here now I’ve also got 250 calories onto my energy burn here as well so so if you’re interested in calories we do track those but if you’re doing keto the most important thing obviously is keeping track of these macros and the balance so we have a number of features to support that but one of the most interesting ones is when you’ve gone here and logged all your foods for the day and you might notice that you’ve blown over your net carb limit and you’re curious like oh where did those pesky carbs come from over over any of these bars and see what the top contributors were nice and that can actually unveil some surprises sometimes where you’re you weren’t aware there were few sneaky carbs in something I love that and then as far as the the individual nutrients is quite a database of nutrients so let’s see you have let’s take a just look at potassium I just want to look at that Wow look at that that 1% of my daily work for potassium so these are all configured by default to the RDAs for your body type you can love it I love it you can override these so if your doctor tells you you know you have a particular condition you need to watch your iron or your zinc or what have you you can you can change these targets too you can personalize them further than tha
