weight loss & blood sugar control 100 to 108 5.4 to 6.0
weight loss < 97 < 5.4
most nutrient dense < 97 < 5.4

athletic performance < 97 < 5.4

micronutrient profile

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

supplements

The supplements listed below will provide José 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.

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 José’s diet is shown in the chart below.

macro targets

While José’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) 110 230
fat (g) 30 160
carbs (g) 0 0
energy (calories) 2250

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 José’s food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. José’s most nutrient dense day is February 26 2020 while his least nutrient-dense day is February 10 2020.

best and worst days

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