Notes:

For most values, I used the following websites: http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/interactiveDRI/index.php and http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

The suggested Omega-6 (aka Linoleic Acid) was 12g. However, after reading the wiki on Omega-6 I opted to reduce the Omega-6 value. The wiki stated that the needed intake of omega-6 was overestimated by 5-15 times and that the important value is the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3. A good ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is between 1:1 and 4:1. (With more Omega-3 than Omega-6 being idea, but not practical). If possible, don't use more than 4 times Omega-6 than the Omega-3 daily intake. Omega-6 Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-6

There isn't an RDA for Sulfur, though there are Sulfur deficiency issues. Reading the following articles left me thinking that 0.8g-1.0g of Sulfur daily would be plenty and that I would need to go out of my way to get too much.

The maximum dose of Magnesium from supplements for females is supposed to be 350mg. With no upper limit for Magnesium found in food. I increased mine because the overdose of Magnesium effects are not severe (or at least they are readily obvious), only apply to supplements, and I don't want to see red on my recipe. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/
