micronutrient profile
The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by Dawn’s diet as a proportion of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for each nutrient (including supplements).
supplements
The supplements listed below will provide Dawn 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.

macronutrients
The macronutrient split of Dawn’s diet is shown in the chart below.
macro targets
While Dawn’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) | 115 | 170 |
| fat (g) | 20 | 75 |
| carbs (g) | 0 | 60 |
| 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 Dawn’s food log based on the harder to find 50% of the essential nutrients. Dawn’s most nutrient dense day is April 22 2024 while her least nutrient-dense day is January 28 2024.
best and worst days
Dawn’s food diary for the best and worst days are shown below for comparison. Dawn 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.
