<h2>CRON-O-Meter</h2>
</div>
<p>
CRON-O-Meter is <b>free</b>, <b>open source</b>, and <b>cross-platform</b>
dieting software.
<p>
CR (Calorie Reduced) diets require a lot of information to perform optimally.
In order to restrict caloric intake, but remain healthy, users of the diet must
track their vitamin, mineral, and protein intakes with great care.
<p>
We aim to provide a complete solution to the CR dieter. Current open-source diet-tracking
applications fall short in some vital respects. Either they are not detailed enough,
or they suffer from critical usability flaws. We believe that a diet tracker must be
effortless to operate for the activity for which it will be used most of the time,
keeping track of the foods eaten in a particular meal.
<p>
To this end, we are developing CRON-O-Meter, an application that will take into account
good usability design and dense functionality. It will provide diet advice, track
consumption and exercise, and generally assist in all aspects of a CR diet.
<h3>Features</h3>

<li>Includes nutritional information on over 8000 foods from the latest USDA datasources.</li>
<li>Food editor for creating custom foods.</li>
<li>Recipe editor to create new foods built from sets of other foods</li>
<li>Import and export foods and recipes to share with other users</li>

<h3>Feedback</h3>
This software is made by an all-volunteer effort. If you want to chip in and
lend a hand there are lots of things you can do to improve the program. Besides
programmers, we could use:
