Notes:

This profile reflects current DRIs.

Macronutrient values reflect the least permissive limits when evaluating the minimum and maximum recommended DRIs for the percentage of calories one should receive from each category with respect to a 2000 calorie diet; or the RDA (if it's less permissive). Protein doesn't have an upper limit strongly supported by science, so the upper limit reflects the advice of researchers to avoid consuming more than twice what is necessary.

The profile reflects a 2:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Since the DRI maximum amount of omega 3 is less than 1/4 of the minimum amount of omega 6, the DRI has a certain conflict with recent wisdom regarding these fatty acids. This profile resolves this by allowing for a greater amount of omega 3. A side effect is that only a very narrow range is allowed in this profile for omega 3/6. You'll probably wrestle with this balance if you intend to use this profile.
