I know I'm peeing out the vast majority of my Daily Vitamin. I know this. The body can only obsorb, hold, and use so many vitamins and minerals at a time. But after doing tracking and analyzing my food intake for three days for a project in my Nutrition class, I've found my Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Iron, and Potassium are low. I know this is because I currently cannot afford to buy a variety of fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, and green leaf lettuce are always the cheapest so that's all I get) and I can't afford to eat red meat for the iron.
I figured 6 deficiencies were enough warrant a daily vitamin, especially because I'm already eating healthy. If I ate like crap, I'd have no one to blame for lack of nutrients but myself, and would just change my diet. I think the most unhealthy thing I have in my apartment right now is a box of Macaroni and Cheese, and while that is pretty high in sodium and saturated fat, I only eat it about once a month. Currently, my fridge looks like this: Leftover taco meat, leftover pulled pork (yumyumyumyum), bread, eggs, margarine, carrots, salsa, milk, water, jam, lettuce, yogurt, random condiments. That is all very nutritious stuff.

So anyway...
what?
Oh.
Multi-Vitamin.
I don't know if it's a placebo effect, or if getting enough Vitamin A-C-D-E and iron is starting to build it up in my system, but I've been feeling a bit better this week compared to others. I can accept that is due to getting [more than] enough iron, instead of 1/3 of what I should have been getting - Iron carries oxygen in the blood, and the more oxygen in the blood, the more is getting to muscles, and the more sustainable energy I can make.

I'll have to ask my mom to put my fish oil capsules in my next care package. I am low on Omega-3 and -6 as well.

Now I just need to work on not being hungry all the damn time and I'll be set!
