Below is a listing of the nutrients in Philip Thrift's
Paleofitness diet, which has been discussed here
before.

This is from the webpage where the diet is described:

------ BEGIN QUOTE ------

Here's an example day's schedule and diet:

- Wake up: drink some green tea.
- Workout: heavy weights -- selected body parts.
- First meal *right* after workout:
           3/4 to 1 lb chicken breast + 1 bananna
- Mid morning meal: 3/4 lb steak + 1 cup spinach.
- Lunch: 1 lb pork loin + 1 cup chopped onions and carrots.
- Dinner: 1 to 1 1/4 lb mix of chicken, steak + 1/2 cup fruit.

This includes at least 4 liters of spring water and an omega-3
fatty acid supplement (fish body oils). Some days I include
more meat or vary the amounts of fruits or veggies depending
on how I feel.

------ END QUOTE --------

The amounts of calcium and omega-3 fats (ALA, EPA, DHA) in the
food are very low. Also, copper and manganese are below RDI. I
notice that you take take omega-3 supplements, Philip.

I have an Excel spreadsheet which shows the nutrients for each
food (chicken, steak, pork loin, spinach, onion, carrot, banana,
fruit).  Email me if you'd like a copy.
