IARC classifies substances by strength of evidence, not risk magnitude. Processed meat, alcohol, and charred meat compounds are worth tracking weekly — as awareness signals, not alarms.
Mediterranean, ketogenic, high-protein, plant-based, high-processed, balanced, low-carb, high-carb. Weekly logs reveal which pattern you actually follow — often different from what you think.
Per-food GI tables ignore that nobody eats a single food alone. Protein, fat, fiber, and cooking method all shift the curve. Meal-level glycemic load is closer to what your glucose actually does.
When you eat changes outcomes independent of what you eat. Eating window, meal spacing, and circadian alignment are measurable, and they matter. Here's how to track them.
Total polyphenols in milligrams misses the point. A diet hitting six polyphenol classes outperforms one hitting a single class at higher dose. Here's how class diversity tracking works.
NOVA sorts food by processing, not calories. A 400-calorie bowl of oats and a 400-calorie bowl of sugary cereal differ in ways macros cannot capture. Here's how the four groups work.
NOVA processing, polyphenol diversity, meal-level glycemic index, chrono-nutrition, IARC exposure, and 35 micronutrients — the nutritional dimensions calorie counters ignore.
Cronometer is the gold standard for micronutrient tracking. But if you want your nutrition data connected to sleep, HRV, and training — or a modern mobile experience — here are the best alternatives.
MacroFactor's adaptive algorithm is best-in-class for macro coaching. But if you want micronutrients, meal quality, or wearable-connected insights, here are the alternatives worth considering.
MyFitnessPal counts calories. These alternatives track meal quality, micronutrients, and how your diet affects sleep, recovery, and training. Here's what to switch to.
Calorie counting is table stakes. Omnio validates your logs against government nutrition databases, scores meal quality, tracks 35 micronutrients and polyphenols, classifies your dietary pattern, and connects what you eat to how you sleep, recover, and train.
Most calorie calculators give you a number based on a formula from the 1990s and call it a day. Omnio watches what you actually eat, how your body actually responds, and learns your real metabolic fingerprint over time.
