If Cedars-Sinai's list of magnesium levels in foods[1] is accurate, it seems to me that it'd be kind of hard not to be deficient a majority of days (sources I'm seeing say you need between 300-400mg/day). Add in trying to get enough of all the other things you're supposed to get such-and-such mg/day of and trying to save time/money by not having to cook with 100 different ingredients every week[2] and you're really in trouble if you want to consistently get enough of all this stuff solely from food sources.
