Big part of the problem is no one agrees. And there are a zillion diets.

Its probably easier to define the functional purpose of the selection 
rather than get into a complexity too far (Like the Christopher Robin 
Wednesday Diet).

For instance, Keto diets do need to know the proportions of protein, 
carbohydrates & fats in each common food. AND, for managing that diet, some 
indicator of the vitamins and minerals of each common food (but those don't 
need to be exact, just indicative).

Other diets, like the Carbohydrate Specific Diet (for those with celiac 
disease) need something quite different.

Unless you are pitching for "The All For Every Wo/Man Award" I'd go for 
your own focus of interest.

Heats the urn.
