The app's Men's Health Nutrition Score feature bundles specific macro and micronutrients together and gives users a percentage value for how they are hitting their targets based off their diet for that day.
Normally behind a paywall, the feature will be made available for free for the month of June.
To score 100%, users need to reach their recommended daily intake of all these nutrients. Going over the maximum threshold will also affect the score.
Cronometer's Men's Health Nutrition Score highlights nutrients that men are typically lacking such as fiber, vitamin A, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium, and highlights men's higher protein needs.

REVELSTOKE, BC, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Studies have found that, despite advances in medical technology and research, men continue to live an average of 7 years less than women. Although there are numerous factors that play a part in this, research shows that proactive health behaviours such as nutrition tracking have a positive impact on health and well-being. A recent survey of Cronometer users found that 88% of men who use Cronometer report their activity levels to be lightly active to very active, with just 13% reporting they are sedentary compared to the U.S. national average of 25%. Additionally, the survey found that 78% of male Cronometer users are on track to reach or have reached their health goals. Cronometer aims to help educate men on the importance of nutrition and to be part of the preventative measures when it comes to health.

With the release of the latest Nutrition Scores, Cronometer notes that although significant progress has been made in medicine to enhance the lives of transgender people, the nutritional needs of this population remain largely unknown. Cronometer hopes to improve how the app serves this community and is asking anyone who identifies as transgender or non-binary to reach out to their team at [email protected] to discuss how to better achieve this in their app.
