micronutrient profile

The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by Beth’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 Beth’s diet is shown in the chart below.

macro targets

While Beth’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 80
carbs (g) 0 65
energy (calories) 1400

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 Beth’s food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. Beth’s most nutrient dense day is May 15 2019 while her least nutrient-dense day is May 14 2019.
