Apologies, but the answer I already gave is the correct one. These quantities already appear in the profile header, there is no need to add them. They are listed in the default profile_columns.list for completeness, but should not be uncommented there (else an error will result):

! the first few lines of the profile contain general info about the model.
! for completeness, those items are described here.

   !  initial mass and Z
      !  initial_mass
      !  initial_z
   ! general properties of the current state
      ! model_number
      ! num_zones
      ! star_age
      ! time_step
   ! properties at the photosphere
      ! Teff
      ! photosphere_L
      ! photosphere_r
   ! properties at the outermost zone of the model
      ! log_surface_L
      ! log_surface_radius
      ! log_surface_temp
   ! properties near the center of the model
      ! log_center_temp
      ! log_center_density
      ! log_center_P
      ! center_eta
   ! abundances near the center
      ! center_h1
      ! center_he3
      ! center_he4
      ! center_c12
      ! center_n14
      ! center_o16
      ! center_ne20
   ! information about total mass
      ! star_mass
      ! star_mdot
      ! star_mass_h1
      ! star_mass_he3
      ! star_mass_he4
      ! star_mass_c12
      ! star_mass_n14
      ! star_mass_o16
      ! star_mass_ne20
   ! locations of abundance transitions
      ! he_core_mass
      ! c_core_mass
      ! o_core_mass
      ! si_core_mass
      ! fe_core_mass
   ! location of optical depths 10 and 100
      ! tau10_mass
      ! tau10_radius
      ! tau100_mass
      ! tau100_radius
   ! time scales
      ! dynamic_time
      ! kh_timescale
      ! nuc_timescale
   ! various kinds of total power
      ! power_nuc_burn
      ! power_h_burn
      ! power_he_burn
      ! power_neu
   ! a few control parameter values
      ! h1_boundary_limit
      ! he4_boundary_limit
      ! c12_boundary_limit
      ! burn_min1
      ! burn_min2
