The Ultimate Meal

The following recipe will meet 100% of the RDAs for a woman age 44 (which is what I am) at only 1202.1 calories. By adding in four 16.9 oz bottles of water for the day, I can then say that I’ve met all daily requirements with this one meal without supplementing with any vitamins in any way.

Of note, if sodium needs to be reduced, then simply use 1/4 tsp rather than 1/2 tsp. Some sodium is necessary every day, and without some salt added, it may be possible with 4 bottles of water that hyponatremia could occur.

CRON-O-Meter

I’m adding the images from cronometer to show the breakdown. Because chromium, biotin and other values are oftentimes not in the databases, I’ve supplemented their data with food analysis charts from Food Composition and Nutrition Tables, 7th Edition by Souci, Bachmann, and Kraut.
