Methodology

1. Started with Rob's newest recommendation, because it's an excellent baseline, and also taking into account ratios from this fantastic post (https://discourse.soylent.com/t/optimal-micronutrient-ratios/5049)
2. Adjusted calories to 1800, because we're trying to lose weight
3. Incrased min fat to 60% and removed max fat, because very high fat should be enforced
4. Lowered min carbs to 30 g and lowered max carbs to 85.5 g, because min fiber is 30 g and the max should be the higher end of fiber (45 g) plus 9% of calories
5. Lowered min fiber to 30, because there should be a lot of fiber
6. Increased min omega 6 to 2 g and removed the max, because omega 6 should make up at least 1% of daily calories, and on a keto diet we aren't doing a max
7. Increased min omega 3 to 1.6 and removed the max, because the min is the latest DRI, and on a keto diet we aren't doing a max
8. Increased min potassium to 4.7 g and increased max potassium to 9 g, because the latest DRI is 4.7 g and there is no toxicity until 18 g, but we'll cut that in half just to be safe since potassium supplementation in large quantities is considered riskier
9. Increased min sodium to 3 g and increased max sodium to 7 g, because studies have shown this is the safest range and the US DRI is incorrect
10. Decreased min chloride to 2.3 g, because it appears the only reason it was 3.4 g is based on multiplying out a sodium intake of 2.3 g, and research shows the latest DRI only needs to be 2.3 g, even though people are likely to get 1.5x the chloride as sodium since most of it comes from salt
11. Increased min magnesium to 500 mg and set max magnesium at 2.5 g, because the calcium-to-magnesium ratio should be 2:1 but no lower than 1:1, and calcium has a 1 g min with a 2.5 g max
12. Decreased min phosphorus to 700 mg and increased max phosphorus to 1.92 mg, because the latest DRI is 700 mg and the min calcium-to-phosphorus ratio should be 1.3:1
13. Increased max niacin to 500 mg, because the previous max was too low and 500 mg is a more reasonable upper limit
14. Increased min K to 120 mg, because that's the latest DRI
15. Increased min iron to 20 mg, because the min iron-to-copper ratio should be 10:1
16. Increased min zinc to 20 mg, because the min zinc-to-copper ratio should be 10:1
17. Decreased max copper to 4.5 mg, because the min iron-to-copper ratio should be 10:1
18. Increased min D to 1000 UI and increased max D to 7600 IU, because people often don't get enough D and some peopel might want to take up to 6000 IU - make sure you get at least 1000 UI in the form of D3, because D2 doesn't really count - the extra 1600 in the max is to account for D2 in other foods/supplements, if any
19. Increased min B12 to 290 ug, because vegans may be deficient

Description

This is a vegan keto DRI used for weight loss. It has a carb/protein/fat ratio of about 12/61/27. A ketogenic diet induces and/or keeps someone in ketosis, where the body uses fat as the primary energy source instead of carbs.

If you do not need to lose weight and/or do not need to be in ketosis, you should use a different DRI that has more carbs and less fat.
