" google the zinc and copper contents of foods"
There's a really good app that can tell you all the zinc and copper you had in one day.
I saw an RD last year, and she told me about cronometer.com
This is the best written software I have seen in 20 years.
You enter everything you eat and it gives you the totals for more than 60 minerals and vitamins.
It's free, but if you pay $50/year, you get a couple of enhancements. I like the fact I can give
it a URL and it will download the complete recipe so you don't have to type it in.
You can turn your camera on and read the bar code for an item such as a quart of ice cream,
and it has thousands of bar codes so it knows all the ingredients.
I have more than 50 custom recipes.
It will tell you total protein, carbs, and fat for the day.
When you type in an item such as Boston Butt, it gives you eight choices, etc.
If you type in chicken pot pie, it lists more 60 choices: homemade, Marie Callender,
Trader Joes, Stauffer, Banquet, etc.
You can log all the exercise you do every day.
You can enter your weight every day and show your doctor a six month graph proving you are
gaining or losing weight.
Download the free version and use it for a week.
