M0VE vs. Cronometer
Cronometer is a nutrition tracker designed for accuracy. It tracks calories, macros and more than 95 vitamins and minerals, and is trusted by dietitians, athletes and health professionals. When you exercise, the energy you burn above your normal activity is added to that day's target. M0VE is built for endurance athletes. It plans your day around the training you have coming up, and plans your carbs per hour for the session itself.
In short. Cronometer is the pick for the detail of every nutrient. M0VE is for athletes who want their targets and session fuel planned around their training.

Every nutrient, or every session
Cronometer's depth is real. It tracks more than 95 vitamins and minerals from the food you log, and dietitians and health professionals use it with their clients.
M0VE tracks micronutrients too, with iron, vitamin D, magnesium, B12, sodium and thirty more against a target, but its focus is your training. Your calories, carbs, protein and fat are set every morning from your planned sessions.
Fuel for the session itself
A carbs per hour target for during a session is not listed for Cronometer. M0VE sets one for every session from its duration, power and sport, adds fluid and sodium per hour, and has gels, chews, bars and drinks built in, so you tap what you will carry into your session fuel.
Burned energy, or planned training
Cronometer adds the energy you burn above your baseline activity, from logged or synced exercise, to that day's target, and Gold lets you schedule different macros by weekday. Syncing planned sessions is not listed. M0VE reads your planned and finished sessions from your platforms and devices, so your targets are set from the training you have coming up.
