recommended approach
The food and meal lists in this report have been tailored to help she get more of the nutrients that she is not currently getting a lot of while also helping her to meet her goal of fat loss with a low insulin load diet and being paleo.

|---|---|---|---|
| therapeutic ketosis | > 140 | > 7.8 | |
| 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 | |
| most nutrient dense | < 97 | < 5.4 | |
| nutrient dense maintenance | < 97 | < 5.4 | |
| lean bulking | < 97 | < 5.4 | |
| athletic performance | < 97 | < 5.4 |
micronutrient profile
The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by her diet as a proportion of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for each nutrient (including supplements).
supplements
The supplements listed below will provide she with the nutrients that she is not getting enough of until she is able to improve the nutrient density of her 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.
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. For more details about micronutrient ratios check out article.
nutrients to prioritise
Going forward, we want to prioritise the micronutrients that her 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: hypertension, inflammation.
| nutrient | % DRI | prioritize |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 6% | |
| Vitamin D | 10% | |
| Folate | 18% | |
| Vitamin E | 23% | |
| Calcium | 30% | |
| Thiamin (B1) | 33% | |

macronutrients
The macronutrient split of her diet is shown in the chart below.
macro targets
While her 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) | 85 | 190 |
| fat (g) | 20 | 85 |
| carbs (g) | 0 | 55 |
| energy (calories) | 1350 |
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 her food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. her most nutrient dense day is October 23 2018 while her least nutrient-dense day is October 24 2018.
