Macronutrient intake ranges Is macronutrient intake within the recommended range important? What are the effects of too much or too little of a macronutrient? What happens if you consistently eat too little protein? What happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few lipids? Fiber intake ranges Does your fiber total meet 100% of the recommendation for you, as calculated at iProfile? Does your diet meet the minimum number of servings of foods from each fiber-containing group? If not, which of the fiber-containing groups--fruits and vegetables--fell short of the recommended intake? Which specific foods provide the most fiber in your meals? Which provide the least?
