Nutrition Fingerprint

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 blood sugar management with a low insulin load diet.

approach average glucose (mg/dL) average glucose (mmol/L) selected
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).

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, sleep apnea.

nutrient % DRI prioritize
Potassium 45%
Calcium 53%
Iron 56%
Magnesium 61%
Phosphorus 69%
Valine 69%
Leucine 77%
Isoleucine 79%
Methionine 80%
Copper 82%
Lysine 83%
Vitamin K1 89%
Folate 92%

optimal foods for you

The foods listed below will provide she with the nutrients that she is currently not getting in large amounts while also aligning with her goal of diabetes management . The foods are ranked in descending order of priority (from the top of the page to the bottom).

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) 115 260
fat (g) 30 185
carbs (g) 0 100
energy (calories) 2600

Going forward the Nutrient Optimiser Smart Macros will adjust your macros on a weekly basis to ensure you are moving in the right direction.

net carbs, insulin load, insulinogenic calories

Her food diary indicates she is eating 1792 calories per day with an insulin load of 205g/day and with 46% insulinogenic calories.

Insulin load is influenced by the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fibre. Lower levels can stabilise blood sugars. However, a very low insulin load diet can compromise nutrient density.

The table below shows the % insulinogenic and insulin load (based on her average calorie intake) for the Standard American Diet (SAD), the average of all people who have had their Nutrient Optimiser analysis done as well as typical levels for people managing diabetes and therapeutic ketosis.

approach % insulinogenic insulin load (g) net carbs (g)
typical SAD 54% 338 281
average optimiser 29% 165 73
LCHF 25% 156 63
therapeutic keto 15% 94 31
46% 205 160

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 March 29 2019 while her least nutrient-dense day is March 28 2019.

best and worst days

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