I'm using Myfitnesspal and logging all the foods I eat but never really got to grips with all the other stuff on there until the other day when I found that under "Reports" there is a drop down menu, under "Weight" that calculates your Potassium, Cholesterol, Vitamin A, C, etc. and I was shocked to learn that even taking a Multivitamin every day I am way below the daily guidelines for everything I thought I was eating healthily with all the meat, eggs, fish, yogurts and vegetables and no junk food so where am I going wrong?
Do I need to be taking more supplements? Can anyone advise please? I've got a lousy cold at the moment that won't seem to shift after over a weak and if my body is depleted in all these essentials then it's probably not surprising. I've trawled the internet for foods that supply what I seem to be lacking but I'm already eating the stuff that they advise, or I don't like it
My Potassium levels seem to be practically non existent according to MFP. Even Avocados don't seem to make much difference to the readings.
I really need some advice please as I'm worried that I'm not getting the vital nutrients.
