I used this calculator[1] to sum the nutrition in that diet, and here's what I got: http://i.imgur.com/xdQftNY.png

Serving Size 4358 g Amount Per Serving Calories 7,890 Calories from Fat 774 Total Fat 86.0g 132% Saturated Fat 19.2g 96% Trans Fat 0.0g Cholesterol 1330mg 443% Sodium 1835mg 76% Potassium 10461mg 299% Total Carbohydrates 1165.3g 388% Dietary Fiber 55.4g 222% Sugars 44.7g Protein 570.8g Vitamin A 165% Vitamin C 486% Calcium 92% Iron 504% Nutrition Grade A-

I noticed this doesn't include the 60g protein and the 32oz gatorade in the notes at the bottom of his diet.

There's not really anything special in there either, it's basically Meat + Rice/Potato + Vegetable - which is the diet I grew up with and what I would consider typical American diet (although maybe I lived in a bubble).

Ha that calculator was amusing to play with. Evidently my dinner last night (stir fry that I cooked at home) was 1250ish calories. Good thing I don't need to worry about scurvy!
