Anyone using Cronometer to track nutrition stats?

I was using it for a while, and it was extremely helpful in getting me to understand how little nutrition I was getting. I used it while juicing and it was very eye-opening. I can honestly say that I never actually had a single day in my life where I consumed enough of the nutrients I require. No wonder I got sick.



To me, "vitamins" can't really replace foods, and most people eating a side salad (and thinking they're eating healthily because of it) are absolutely kidding themselves. It WILL catch up to them. It caught up with me in and it was hell getting stabilized, but I recovered by going on a green juice fast. It totally changed my taste for foods. And using the Cronometer program (they have an app now also) really helped me understand where I was going nutritionally.



I'm wondering if there are similar or better programs available?



I used the downloadable desktop version, but they have a web interface that's okay, but I never felt a need for it. It's free, but I think the online version is subscription-based.



It's hard to find the offline version, so here's a link (they're pushing for people to use the online or app version): CRON-O-Meter Download



BTW, radishes are nice and all but they offer little nutritional value for their cost. I realized that comparing the stats to other vegetables while tracking my juicing. So, programs like this can be very important for helping you make better choices in budgeting, so you get the biggest bang for your buck.
