TrueScale - Diet & Water Weight Insights

Analyze your Cronometer data for fat loss, water weight estimates, and advanced insights.

2.33*update- Bug Fixes* See the real fat loss behind your scale. TrueScale turns your Cronometer diary into water-weight and body-composition insights. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Your scale mixes fat, water, glycogen and last night's dinner into one number. TrueScale pulls them apart. TrueScale reads your Cronometer diary and shows how much body fat you actually lost, how much of today's weigh-in is temporary water, and what to expect on the scale tomorrow morning. Every formula is backed by published research you can check yourself, right inside the extension. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHY THE SCALE LIES TO YOU ══════════════════════════════════════════ You nailed your calories all week, then the scale jumps 2.5 lbs overnight. Or one restaurant meal "adds" 3 lbs. Gaining 3 lbs of body fat in a day would take roughly 12,800 calories above maintenance. What you're seeing is almost always water and food weight: • Glycogen water: every gram of stored carbohydrate (glycogen) is held with about 3 grams of water, so a carb-heavy day can add pounds that disappear a day or two later. • Sodium: a salty meal can hold extra fluid until your body clears it. • Training swelling: hard or unfamiliar lifting causes muscle swelling that can linger for days. • Food in transit: yesterday's meals are still in your digestive tract this morning. TrueScale models each of these from your own logs, so one bad weigh-in stops ruining a good week. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.3 ══════════════════════════════════════════ ★ Redesigned report, answer first. Your Bottom-Line Summary now opens with a plain "Yes, you lost X lbs of body fat", followed by this week, your diet journey and your core numbers. ★ Alerts where you'll see them. Whoosh Incoming (now free for everyone) tells you when water is hiding real fat loss. Anchor Warning flags a starting weigh-in taken on an unusual day. ★ Five new Deep Science widgets: – Energy Availability: the fuel left after training per kg of lean mass, the metric the IOC uses for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) – Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI): your lean mass scaled to your height, with research reference lines – Glycogen Tank: how full your carb stores are and how much water they're holding – Trend Confidence: "Is this real, or is it noise?" A statistical trend line with a 95% confidence interval on your weekly rate – Cunningham BMR: a lean-mass BMR equation you can apply in one click ★ Smarter TDEE Calibrator that now works in a surplus and at maintenance, not just while dieting. ★ Rebuilt Peer-Reviewed Literature page: 22 entries, each with DOI links, the exact formula TrueScale uses and honest notes on its limits. ★ Rewritten User Guide, smarter caching that saves your Cronometer syncs, keyboard-friendly navigation, and a long list of bug fixes and polish throughout. ══════════════════════════════════════════ FREE FOR EVERYONE ══════════════════════════════════════════ ⚖️ True Estimated Weight vs. Physical Scale Reading, with a breakdown of the gap between them 🔥 Fat Change: body fat burned or gained, calculated at 9,400 kcal per kg of fat instead of the outdated 3,500-calorie rule 💧 Water Weight Shift measured against your own baseline 🎯 Bottom-Line Summary in plain English 💦 Whoosh Incoming and ⚓ Anchor Warning alerts 🧂 Nutrient badges for protein, sodium, carbs and cycle phase 📌 Deficit streak badge and a sticky summary bar 🔄 One-click Cronometer sync with a 60-day local cache 📏 lbs, kg or stone, and AM or PM weigh-ins ══════════════════════════════════════════ PREMIUM: $15.99 ONE-TIME, LIFETIME ACCESS ══════════════════════════════════════════ 🔬 The full Deep Science tab: Energy Availability, FFMI, Glycogen Tank, Trend Confidence, Cunningham BMR, the Weight Trajectory chart with a 7-day rolling average, Biokinetic Attribution and the Daily Water Retention chart 💪 Composition Change: estimated fat vs. muscle, adjusted for your training 🌅 Tomorrow's Prediction: tomorrow morning's expected scale reading from today's food and training 🧭 Current Week, week-by-week history and your Diet Journey Summary 🔄 Strategic Refeed Advisor and True TDEE Calibrator 🧪 Scale Impact Simulator: see how sodium, carbs and potassium could move tomorrow's weigh-in 🏋️ Workout & Variables: training calendar, RIR intensity logging, workout swelling and menstrual-cycle fluid tracking 📐 US Navy tape body fat calculator, custom BMR override and custom date ranges 🎯 Weekly fat-loss goal tracker, CSV export and print/PDF reports ✨ NO SUBSCRIPTIONS: pay once and own it forever. ✨ EARLY ADOPTER GUARANTEE: Purchasing Lifetime Access today automatically grandfathers you into free lifetime access for the upcoming standalone Android mobile app at no extra charge. ══════════════════════════════════════════ BUILT ON PUBLISHED RESEARCH ══════════════════════════════════════════ TrueScale's models draw on work by Forbes, Hall and colleagues, Alpert, Loucks & Thuma, the 2023 IOC consensus on REDs, Kouri, Cunningham and more. The in-app literature page lists every source with DOI links and says plainly where TrueScale uses its own estimates. TrueScale is an educational self-tracking tool, not a medical device. ══════════════════════════════════════════ YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS ══════════════════════════════════════════ 🔒 TrueScale reads your diary from your own logged-in Cronometer session and stores it only in your browser (chrome.storage.local). It runs no servers of its own and never sends your nutrition or body data anywhere. Premium purchases are handled securely by ExtensionPay. ══════════════════════════════════════════ HOW IT WORKS ══════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Install TrueScale and log in to Cronometer in another tab. 2. Open Settings & Sync and enter your height, weight, age and biological sex. 3. Click Save & Continue, then View Insights Report.
