HELP?!?!
Okay here is my plan for tomorrow....Obviously posting because I want some feed back. I know I am getting the hang of this, but feedback is awesome. After all that is why we blog, right??
Meal Plan:
Breakfast:
1 cup egg whites with roasted corn and green pea mixture I made. Teaspoon of flax oil. Tablespoon of salsa.
Snacks (through out the day in no order):
1/4 cup of almonds
Dannon Light and Fit yogurt (plain)
Mega Muffin
Lunch: Faithful Cabbage Soup
Dinner: Turkey cutlets with cooked spinach (flax oil) and boiled green peas
Here's the nutritional crunch:
calories: 1519 (Aprils up suggestion)
fat: 36%
protein: 32%
carbs: 31%
Okay so low on carbs, but from what I understand not a bad thing, but maybe high in fat? Here is the fat break down;
Omega 3: 708%
Omega 6: 73%
Saturated: 40%
Cholesterol: 46%
So the fat is high, but it's the good fat, right? or no?
Here is the vitamins and mineral in general:
Vitamins: 99%
Minerals: 98%
Forgot to add earlier that I am adding 2 calcium chews per day. That is the only "supplement".
So not too bad, but here are the details;
B12 is low at 83%
Iron 91%
Potassium 86%
Everything else is high, but not too high (not in the red!)
What is close to being in the RED is Sodium, Vitamin A and Vitamin K.
So can anyone sum this up for. I see where I am lacking and have played with this quite a bit trying to get things to even out. I do not think I am that far off, but would love to know if anyone here sees anything to get worried about or any easy "fix it's".
Thanks so much again for everyone's support!!!

Carolyn..Looks awesome to me. You've got so much figured out. Your vitamins are coming from natural sources which seems to me to be a good thing. I won't presume to comment..since I don't have enough of the CRON experience. I will say, that from my own experience..in the mornings I need to add the Trader Joe's low-carb tortilla to that egg white mixture. From what I understand, our glucose is pretty depleted in the morning and for brain power alone..a few more carbs early on will not hurt. Just a thought. Everyday is a little experiment which makes it so interesting.

Looks great to me! I suggest eating some of your snack almonds with the yogurt, because I find light&fit is mostly carbs, and the fat from the almonds will keep you full for longer.
31% fat is DEFINITELY not too much fat - I understand that 30% is about the minimum! I personally feel better on even higher fat.
Don't worry about super high vitamin K - I've been assured that it won't hurt you. Take a look at A in the cronometer. If it's coming from beta carotene, it's from veggies and it's totally fine; high beta carotene is why MR is slightly orange. It is very bad to get too much retinol, but that's from animal sources - and I can see from your food that you don't have too much retinol.
Hey girls! Thanks for taking a look. Sometimes I feel like I know what I am doing, or do I? So your reassurance helps!
They're right.
I think that either brewers yeast or mushrooms will fix your B12 problem, but I'd have to plug it into the software to be sure which does what B vitamins.
I end up getting some potassium from my Half-Salt, which is cut with potassium chloride.
Good job! Thanks for adding some calories... now I can sleep at night. :) You are much taller than I am, and therefore will always need to eat more.
