v1.3 Adjusted profile to US government DRI for men, 2000 calories.
Needed to use a lot more muscle milk and soy protein. Riboflavin was the limiting ingredient Lowered cost, now under $3/day
need to find an alternative source of riboflavin Chloride is reaching the upper limit, would like to reduce the amount in future versions
V1.2 Adjusted pricing for bulk ingredients
V1.1 Goals: except for the soybean oil, use only powdered ingredients. Make the macro nutrients easily adjustable to fit everyone's needs (profiles). Have enough flexibility with the micro ingredients to compensate for any changes to the macro ingredients.
Future changes: Muscle Milk is rather expensive compared to other ingredients (per gram), but it is the only powdered source of Chromium I could find that didn't also have excessive amounts of Niacin (i.e. mega-man sport). I'd like to find a cheaper, powered, chromium rich substitute for muscle milk. Vitacost soy protein has the highest concentration of Folate (folic acid) I can find, but it can only be purchased from Vitacost. I would like to find substitute high in folate that can be sourced from multiple sources. Whey Protein seems to always be the most expensive ingredient, but finding a good source for less would be nice (I'm not sure that I trust BFD's Whey Protein). If possible, find a substitute for the Soybean Oil and use only powder in the recipe. Keep lowering the overall cost.
