  1. I've finally put the first 125 days of a fully recorded diet into a
    program to calculate the nutrition of what I'm actually eating.
    Here's the result:

    nutr %RDA
    A 91
    B1 190
    B2 200
    B3 184
    B5 189
    B6 216
    B8 149
    B12 452
    C 364
    D 35
    E 68
    K 183
    LZ 49
    SF ( 39)
    MU 57
    O6 ( 22)
    O3 105
    CH ( 41)
    FB 146
    Ca 73
    Fe 185
    Mg 117
    P 206
    K 242
    Na ( 41)
    Zn 62
    Cu 116
    Mn 239
    Se 213
    I 145
    PR 123
    Tr 144
    Th 111
    Is 133
    Le 105
    Ly 94
    m+c 108
    p+t 139
    Va 123
    FL 496

    As you can see, there are shortfalls of a few things, but plenty of
    almost everything else. The values in () are maxima, which should be
    less than 100% - they all are. My RDA choices are listed at
    http://sankey.ws/dietref.html

    Of course, I asked the program to calculate the optimal changes to my
    current diet:

    food change
    chard 8
    cod,liver,oil 3
    collard 4
    kale 10
    salmon,pink,ca 1
    spinach,fresh 8
    spinach,frozen 6
    zucchini 2

    So, I need a lot more dark greens (especially for lutein), some cod
    liver oil for Vitamin A & D, and a touch more seafood.

    All in all, pretty good for a first try at 1500 calories/day of
    almost totally natural foods that I like to eat, I'd say.
