About Us
NutrientsFromDiet.com is a website designed to help you make smart nutrition decisions by giving you the power of knowledge in tracking vital nutrients contained in the foods you consume every day. The first step to a healthy body is knowing exactly what you are missing nutritionally.Do you have any idea how much potassium your body needs? Although it is one of the most abundant and important minerals in your body, many people rarely get enough. According to the RDAs, an adult value per day is 4,700 mg. One banana will give you only 465 mg. If consuming 10 bananas per day is not an option, then take the quiz and find out how you rate and what additional foods you should focus on.
Making sure you get the nutrients your body needs can be confusing unless you have an easy way to make these calculations. Whether your goal is weight loss, longevity or creating a healthier body, evaluating the nutrients from food is the foundation of health. In fact, without a knowledge of where you stand nutrient-wise, everything becomes a good guess.
Simply enter what you would eat in a given day with the appropriate amounts and let the program and our Health Coaches do the rest. Your information will be evaluated from a large food-nutrient database, giving you an accurate report with educational graphs displaying missing nutrients. The report will also give you the key foods you should consume to match these deficiencies in the correct amounts. Additionally, you will also get recommendations of whole-food supplementation, if you choose to enhance your diet, making sure you get everything you need.
We eat plenty of calories but not enough nutrients. Lots of attention has been put on macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein), yet very little attention has been given to the micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids).
As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. Many of us think we are getting all that we need from the refined and processed foods with added fortification and enrichment. With one-quarter of Americans eating at fast-food restaurants each day, we are overfed and undernourished.
Our site increases awareness not only of what is missing, but of what nutrient-dense foods you should be consuming, with options provided for whole-food supplements, since it can be difficult to continually get all the right nutrients.
The more nutrients we get from food, the healthier we can become. If you are what you eat, then it is important to know WHAT and HOW MANY nutrients to eat to create a healthier body.
