micronutrient profile

The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by David’s diet as a proportion of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for each nutrient (including supplements).

nutrient ratios

The graphs below show the key micronutrient ratios in your diet. The Nutrient Optimiser uses the micronutrient ratios as a safety check to make sure that you’re emphasising foods or meals that might worsen these micronutrient imbalances.

macronutrients

The macronutrient split of David’s diet is shown in the chart below.

macro targets

While David’s primary focus should be on nutrient density, the table below shows the macro ranges required to achieve a reasonable level of nutrition. These ranges can be entered in Cronometer as a guide.

macros lower limit upper limit
protein (g) 100 215
fat (g) 25 100
carbs (g) 0 65
energy (calories) 1550

Going forward the Nutrient Optimiser Smart Macros will adjust your macros on a weekly basis to ensure you are moving in the right direction.

daily nutrient score

The chart below shows a comparison of the nutrient density of David’s food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. David’s most nutrient dense day is September 17 2019 while his least nutrient-dense day is September 16 2019.

best and worst days

David’s food diary for the best and worst days are shown below for comparison. David should try to eat more of the foods towards the top and less of the ones towards the bottom of these tables.

Note: If you don't see worst and best days please upload your servings.csv file from Cronometer. Cronometer API doesn't allow individual foods to be imported.
