Ultimate Nutrition: Potassium In Food & Drink

In my other health related website, I have a list of high potassium foods. This is far from the ultimate nutrition charts I will use here, but it is a good first step for people wishing to reduce potassium intake. A visitor has just responded [edited for key points]:

“I am on a modified kidney diet and I have to limit my potassium. I am looking for any info on all foods that I eat. I was looking for potassium levels for all foods not just the high levels, so I am looking everywhere. There is not enough potassium information out there to be accessed, so anywhere I can get it will be a help.”

2012 is the year I commit to completing the food diary project, and this is a timely reminder of why I need to get on with it. I also have personal reasons for needing a food diary right now, so I am going to redouble my efforts. I have restarted the food diary project, so expect more news each week from now.

Ultimate Nutrition Chart

There is a tremendous amount of data required for this project. Fortunately, whilst my data input and presentation routines are nowhere near ready, the raw data is based on the USDA nutrition database. You can use this data in my Foodary Nutrition Spreadsheet. This includes PRAL and potassium values as well as most common nutrients. My aim is to provide you the ultimate nutrition data to help you plan and improve your diet, no matter what your personal needs are.

I will provide full support here for using that spreadsheet, pending release of a working online food diary. support is by way of comments at the moment, but expect a better forum facility for your questions very soon.
