Manganese

[mission to lose]

I was looking over my nutrition overview for the past two months on Fitday.

I was wondering at what percentage point do I need to add a supplement if we are lacking.

If we are under 50% is it acceptable, 75%? A few items fly off the chart, and some are low.

I am at 35% manganese. When I looked up foods rich in manganese, most were carby things like brown rice, beans, and whole grain rye, except for "cooked spinach". So I can't get it from food at this point.

Should I look for a manganese supplement, and if so, how much do I take? Anyone familiar with this?
The other things I lack in I have at home, such as Vit D, Calcium.


Also, I wonder why when I go to "overview", and "nutrition graph", I can not see the percentage for potassium level. I can only view it on the daily graph.

Thanks

Re: Manganese

well since it helps with the metabolism of fatty acids along with nerve function you might want to get some.

are you eating those green leafy induction legal veggies like kale, chard, romain lettuce mustard greens. collards, summer squash, turnip grrens to go along with your spinach.
you can also as an OWler have some raspberries to get some and if you use poultry seasoning with your chicken you are getting some in the thyme. how about pumpkin pie spices cloves and cinnamon?

do you need more it should be in your vits too

Re: Manganese

calcium and vitamin D are needed for strong bones and and lots of other body functions

are you eating your fresh dairy and your dark green veggies? they have calcium
cod water fish should have D too

you'd be amazed at the things vitamin D helps with so if you are low you should ask your doc if you need more cause we can get it from sun exposure of our skin too.

Thanks 2BIG! You are the best!

Magic word-VITAMIN.. So obvious. I did put the breakdown of my vitamins in my "Custom Foods" months ago, but I rarely add it to my food log. So, when you said Vitamin, I remembered, and I added my daily vitamin to the log for today, and the nutrition looks much much better!!!! Looks like the One a Day takes care of almost everything. I take it daily, but I do not log it into fitday. I will start doing that every day.
