In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams reviews Cronometer, a nutrition-tracking app that provides detailed insights into vitamin and mineral intake. Brad explains his interest in the app due to its precise tracking of micronutrients, which makes it easy to identify any nutritional deficiencies. He appreciates how Cronometer allows users to log food, scan barcodes, and review nutrient levels, making it easier to make adjustments either through diet or supplementation.

Brad also shares a recurring issue he finds with fitness apps in general: they often overestimate calorie burn. While Cronometer calculates his basal metabolic rate (BMR) around 2,500 calories, his experience with the Whoop 4.0 fitness tracker, which he’s used for six months, suggests a more accurate estimate of 2,000-2,100 calories. Brad emphasizes that precise data is essential for anyone over 40 trying to maintain or lose weight.

Though he finds Cronometer useful, he believes that long-term tracking may not be necessary for everyone. Instead, a focused month could provide the insight needed to fine-tune nutrition. For comprehensive fitness tracking, Brad still recommends Whoop 4.0, especially for its accuracy in calorie burn and sleep data, and encourages his listeners to explore it as a valuable tool for optimizing their fitness journey as they age.
