Sep 5, 2018 at 21:20 comment added JohnP I think you are underestimating both the calories you need and the calories you consume. For example, a 30 year old man who is 5'4" and 135 lbs needs 1500 calories just to breathe in and out and do nothing else all day.

Aug 13, 2018 at 9:06 comment added JoeDough @Count Iblis according to this nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/… 1 kg of potatoes would provide only 10% of RDI of calcium and over 800 calories.That doesn't seem enough.What's with all the people recommending oranges and brocolli when they are incredibly poor sources of calcium?
Aug 12, 2018 at 17:46 comment added Count Iblis Eat 500 grams of vegetables and 500 grams of fruits every day. Eat 1 kg of boiled potatoes instead of 500 grams floating in oil. If you leave the oil out, you can eat more potatoes or pasta and you'll want to add more vegetables to such a meal. As a bonus, you'll find that such meals also provide you with a fair share of the RDA of protein, so you need to eat less meat.

Aug 6, 2018 at 15:09 comment added Jan Naah, it's a single database and if you learn how to narrow down the search, it's really useful. Here's the original database from USDA.gov: in this one you can search by food or by a nutrient or by a combination of nutrients. Or you can find some big nutrition site that lists nutrients and has tables of foods high in them.
Aug 6, 2018 at 15:02 comment added JoeDough Maybe not misinformation but to be honest most people would think that they are really getting nutrients from something once they read that (and all other "this has x" when it has insignificant amounts of it). @Jan I've found these sites only recently, however finding articles listing foods is much easier than examining a database of thousands of products.Besides, there's a problem I've mentioned, looking for only certain nutrients will leave you without other nutrients.
Aug 6, 2018 at 15:01 comment added Jan You can use a single source, such as NutritionData, for most foods and judge yourself what's rich.
Aug 6, 2018 at 14:29 comment added Carey Gregory Why do you think it's misinformation?
