Notes:

Based on the U.S. government's DRI standards, with a few exceptions.

The extremely low level of salt in the DRI is correlated with an increased risk of mortality. ( Citation: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2816%2930467-6/abstract ) I've also increased the chloride rda by a roughly similar amount.

The DRI sets no guidelines regarding sulfur intake, because the body breaks down amino acids into the sulfur it needs. As a result these guidelines require a full compliment of amino acids.

The DRI sets no explicit upper limit on magnesium intake, but sets an upper limit of 350mg for magnesium intake from supplements. This profile's upper limit has been established by just adding 350mg to the RDA.

The min and maximum proteins have been roughly set for a 220lb man.

Vitamin D intake has been increased, as studies suggest that between 1,000 and 4,000 IU is the amount required to have sufficient blood serum vitamin D.
