On average, I consumed about what I needed for every nutrient except calcium.

Average Each day Fiber: 46g
I used to be pleased to learn I ate nearly double the quantity of fiber really helpful for ladies every day, which is 21 to 25 grams, in accordance with Mayo Clinic.
Average Each day Potassium: 1,986mg
My potassium intake this week was a bit low, because the National Institutes of Health recommends women get 2,600 mg a day and I ate slightly below 2,000.
Average Each day Vitamin A: 318mg
I used to be eating more vitamin A than I needed, likely from the peppers and eggs I ate almost on a regular basis. The NIH recommends women get 700 micrograms of vitamin A, which is one thousanth of a milligram — meaning I used to be getting 45,000% more of the nutrient than I needed.
Average Each day Vitamin C: 288mg
I again ate far more vitamin C this week than I needed to. The NIH recommends adult women get 75 mg of vitamin C, meaning I consumed greater than 300% of what I needed.
Average Each day Calcium: 48mg
My calcium intake was very low in comparison with the opposite nutrients I recorded. The NIH recommends adult women get 1,200 mg, so I only consumed 4% of what I needed. I could have eaten more dairy and spinach last week to bring my intake up.
Average Each day Iron: 57mg
I ate more iron than I needed to last week — the NIH recommends adult women get 18 mg and I consumed about triple that quantity.
