There are a few tools out there that do this for you. One is called NutritionData and has a nutrient search tool.

The other is MyFoodData which has made the input easier. I did the search for selenium, per calories, here….

So I changed my setting for Vit A to a daily target of 2333 IUs. Don't know if that is right; with that setting I am way over on Vit A! I do have some symptom of Vit A deficiency (itchy and dry skin, very dry eyes for which I use a liquid tear eyedrop).

A plant based diet is adundant in Vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, which is the healthier form. It would be very difficult to be low in it. However, the problem is, cronometer tracks like 74 nutrients, many foods report only a few nutrients, like 10, 15. 20, 35 etc,

Today when logging in (have to log in twice now), got a message saying I had exceeded the # of logins and had to answer the Captcha questions. Why? Logging in mostly daily is too much? I'll stay off for a couple of days and see.
