One of your homework assignments had you check a Single Nutrient Chart to view your daily intake of sodium over the previous two weeks. This is helpful to identify if there are specific days you tend to hit your targets or perhaps fall short on. From there, you can keep that in mind and adjust your diet to meet your targets more consistently.<\/span><\/p><p>Charts have so much more functionality, though!

Here are just a few of the areas you&#8217;re able to customize:<\/p><p><strong>Macronutrient Targets<\/strong>: choose how you want your calories distributed across protein, carbs and fats. We default to using ratios, but if you want to use fixed targets (ie. you want to hit 120 grams of protein per day) you can do that too!<\/p><p><strong>Nutrient Targets<\/strong>: your micronutrient targets will default to all recommended DRI&#8217;s, but if your doctor has recommended that you get more of a particular nutrient, you&#8217;re able to change this.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Energy Settings<\/strong>: this is where you&#8217;ll choose a baseline activity level, set a weight goal or customize more advanced options like whether you&#8217;d like Cronometer to include the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) and exercise in your energy calculations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89ba043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"89ba043\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d87a342 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d87a342\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/cronometer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/870x580-Blog-Image-\u2013-Nutrition-103-\u2013-Calcium.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-53945\" alt=\"Nutrition 103 Calcium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cronometer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/870x580-Blog-Image-\u2013-Nutrition-103-\u2013-Calcium.jpg 870w, https:\/\/cronometer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/870x580-Blog-Image-\u2013-Nutrition-103-\u2013-Calcium-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cronometer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/870x580-Blog-Image-\u2013-Nutrition-103-\u2013-Calcium-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d4fe1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4d4fe1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d47c704 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"d47c704\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"highlight\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8273452 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8273452\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Highlighted Nutrients<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c879774 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c879774\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With Cronometer you can select up to 8 nutrients to highlight, allowing you to easily view your daily intake in the top header bar of the Diary.
