Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything?

Currently I’m in the process of figuring out if I actually need extra vitamins. I’m using a food tracking app that also includes vitamins and minerals, not just fats and carbs like most apps do. It’s a lot of work, but I’m not planning to do this forever.

I made my own app, and tracked calories, carbs, fiber, and potassium. I used data from USDA. What I found was that it was almost impossible to get the recommended amount of potassium unless you ate nothing but green leafy vegetables, or massively over-eat.

Just took a look at my 7 day average, and it seems that potassium isn’t really a problem in my case. I’m getting plenty from mushrooms, barley, prunes and peanuts.
I also looked up what I would need to eat in order to get the missing vitamins. The answer is carrots for A and some margarine for D.
