This is a work in progress, in which I've mostly filled in the values from US DRI for postmenopausal female 50-70. They don't provide advice on sulfur; I'm ignoring it, assuming the protein inputs will cover me adequately. Potassium figure borrowed from QuidNYC. Things to think about which may need further study: fiber (amount and type), fats profile, revisit potassium issue? The suggested US govt. upper limit for magnesium is 350 mg from supplements and additives (no worries, apparently, about the amount naturally occurring in your food ingredients).
I have set the calories for this nutrient profile absurdly low not because I intend to eat so little or think you should either, but because I want to practice "intuitive eating" which is guided by physiological cues of hunger rather than some external metric. If you're not very hungry one day, you'll still get your fundamental needs met by a recipe based on this rather skimpy formula. On the average day, though, you'd probably want to consume lots more macroingredients. After I've eaten all of one day's basic recipe (over two or three meals), if I'm still hungry (or hungry again) I mix up another batch of just the macros.
