Sometimes you just need to print out and hold on to information… I get it.
To help you out, I’ve created several printable resources to go along with Genetic Lifehacks articles.

Cronometer is a great online and phone app for tracking your nutrient intake, weight, and activity. Often, I explain in articles how genetic variants can increase your need for certain nutrients (e.g., choline or folate). But how can you know what you’re already getting each day? Tracking what you eat using Cronometer for a week or two will give you a good baseline of how much folate/iron/vitamin B12 you are already getting via your regular diet.

NutritionData from self.com is a great tool for determining which foods are high in a specific nutrient. It is a vast database of nutrient information, and you can sort by either 100-g or 200-calorie servings. When you’ve used Cronometer for a week and know you need more B12, head to NutritionData, and find the foods that are highest in B12.
