It all started back in 2005 when I was experimenting with the CRON diet (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition). I needed a way to precisely track my micronutrients.

The Problem with Existing Tools

Most nutrition apps focus only on calories and macros. I wanted to track every vitamin, mineral, and micronutrient to optimize my health. Nothing good existed, so I built my own.

Building the Database

What makes Cronometer different is our commitment to accurate data. Unlike other apps with user-submitted entries, we use lab-analyzed sources and verify every entry. This attracts users who are serious about their nutrition.

The Mountain Town Office

The dream of building a small company in a mountain community was my 'North Star.' In 2017, we moved operations to Revelstoke, British Columbia, where Cronometer blossomed into a proper business.

The Health Professional Market

Beyond consumers, we built Cronometer Pro for healthcare providers - dietitians, nutritionists, and researchers who need precise nutrition data for their clients.
