The dietician interpreted that she gained 3 lb during pregnancy with no iron or nutrient deficiency and she lacks vitamin D as she wears sunscreen whenever going outside. Person L also ensures to combine plant sources of protein, usually dried beans and grains in her diet. A detailed dietary analysis was then performed on her. Her average caloric intake is 2237 kcal and her nutrient intake levels were 71 g protein, 15.2 g linoleic acid, 0.54 g α-linolenic acid, 2.1 mcg Vitamin B12, 3 mcg vitamin D, and 15 mg zinc.
