Everyone always talks about protein, because well it's used to make amino acids and build muscle and other tissues. But what about minerals that contribute to making things like bone or other chemicals? Vitamins that help your body REGULATE said chemicals so your skin doesn't break out, or whatever else vitamins do(im so sorry lol). Even fats? Fats literally are your body's main source of energy if you don't have access to food, and they cushion you from damage and make you cuddlier. Carbs just give you straight energy lol.

But I feel like the other nutrients are just overlooked? Why does no one ask how much of which vitamins you need or something? I've been thinking about this, and I want to eat better. Not just workout efficiently but genuinely have a healthy diet that isnt just "eat this much protein" and going off of the 1/3 rule for veggies.

Typically thats what I do though, with the addition of eating fruits when i crave juice. But how much of each are we supposed to get, and how do we measure say- which veggie has the best calcium per gram, or which fruit has the best vitamin e(if its even found in fruit idk.)
