The food and meal lists in this report have been tailored to help Eric get more of the nutrients that he is not currently getting a lot of while also helping him to meet his goal of fat loss with a low insulin load diet.

diabetes management | 108 to 140 | 6.8 to 7.8 | |
weight loss & blood sugar control | 100 to 108 | 5.4 to 6.0 | |
weight loss | < 97 | < 5.4 | |

The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by Eric’s diet as a proportion of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for each nutrient (including supplements).
The supplements listed below will provide Eric with the nutrients that he is not getting enough of until he is able to improve the nutrient density of his diet.
Most people do not meet the recommended intake vitamin D from their food so ensuring adequate sun exposure and vitamin D supplementation is important.
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. For more details about micronutrient ratios check out article.
Going forward, we want to prioritise the micronutrients that Eric’s is not getting a lot of. These are highlighted in the table below. We also want to prioritise nutrients that are below 500% DRI for your specific condition: asthma, fatigue.

The foods listed below will provide Eric with the nutrients that he is currently not getting in large amounts while also aligning with his goal of weight loss & blood sugar control . The foods are ranked in descending order of priority (from the top of the page to the bottom).

The macronutrient split of Eric’s diet is shown in the chart below.
While Eric’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) | 105 | 200 |
fat (g) | 25 | 90 |
carbs (g) | 0 | 55 |
energy (calories) | 1450 |
Going forward the Nutrient Optimiser Smart Macros will adjust your macros on a weekly basis to ensure you are moving in the right direction.
The chart below shows a comparison of the nutrient density of Eric’s food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. Eric’s most nutrient dense day is December 20 2018 while his least nutrient-dense day is December 21 2018.
Eric’s food diary for the best and worst days are shown below for comparison. Eric 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.
