Cronometer is a solid choice for macro tracking because it’s accurate, highly configurable, and free at the basic level.cronometer+1

Why use Cronometer for macros

Cronometer was built as a nutrition tracker that goes far beyond calories, giving precise grams and percentages for protein, carbs, and fats, plus detailed vitamins and minerals.cronometer+1
Its database relies heavily on curated sources like USDA and NCCDB rather than unvetted user entries, which improves macro accuracy compared with many popular apps.reddit+1

By default, Cronometer splits your energy into macro ratios (for example 25% protein, 45% carbs, 30% fat), which you can change to match your goal (cut, bulk, maintenance, low‑carb, etc.).healthyeater+1
In the app, you go to Profile/Targets, choose to set macros by “Ratios” or “Fixed values,” then either enter percentages or exact gram targets for each macro.youtubecronometer

Once your targets are set, you just log foods in your diary (search, barcode scan, or custom foods/recipes), and Cronometer shows remaining macros and calories in real time.play.google+2
You can quickly reuse past meals or entire days with copy‑and‑paste features, which makes it efficient once your usual foods are in.katelymannutrition+1

Prefer entries tagged as USDA or NCCDB (or official Cronometer items) rather than generic or scanned ones, since these usually have full macro data and more reliable labels.reddit+1
For packaged foods in Singapore, scan the barcode but double‑check macros against the label the first time, adjust serving size carefully, and create a custom food when needed for recurring items.play.google+1

Aspect	Cronometer	Typical calorie apps (e.g., MFP-style)
Macro detail	Full grams and percentages per meal/day. cronometer+1	Usually grams and calories, sometimes less detailed. katelymannutrition
Data quality	Curated database, limited unvetted user entries. reddit+1	Very large, heavily user-generated, more errors. katelymannutrition
Micronutrients	Tracks extensive vitamins/minerals by default. cronometer+1	Often minimal or paywalled. katelymannutrition
Reusing meals/days	Strong copy/paste of foods and entire days. katelymannutrition	Reuse meals; full-day copy less flexible. katelymannutrition
Cost (basic use)	Macro + micronutrient tracking free. cronometer	Macro tracking often free, advanced features paid. katelymannutrition

If you share your macro goal (cut vs bulk, rough calories, protein target), a simple step‑by‑step setup tailored to that goal can be laid out.
