Vitamin K Levels: Seafood
The amounts listed in these tables are certainly more than would be recommended for a particular meal. For instance, it is unlikely that you would eat 10 rice cakes at a sitting. The amount listed is a guide to an amount that you could eat in a particular day and get a consistent level of vitamin K.
Please note that there are items on this list that I don’t feel have any place in a healthy diet. I try not to tell people that they cannot eat what they want – this is your choice. That said, doughnuts, for instance, have little to redeem them. They are a combination of flour, sugar and lard that has been deep fried. It's your choice to eat them and I provide the information on vitamin K content for you—but you would be better off without them (especially three of them!).
