What's for Dinner, Sun., April 28, 2024

3. Dunno. my veggie deficit is 2.9 cups and my meat deficit is 2.8 ounces at this moment

I have a quota, which i never quite meet of 2.5 cups vegetables per day (or more is better), per something from FDA or somesuch,
and 4 ounces (a quarter pound) of meat per day (goal is no more and no less).

If I did not eat any more veggies or meat today, I would start tomorrow with a 5.4 cup veggie deficit and 6.8 ounce meat deficit.

I keep track of each: deficit (or rare surplus) at the beginning of the day, the amount consumed during the day, less the amount I'm supposed to consume in a day, and that's the deficit for the beginning of the next day.

For example I started the day with a 4.9 cup veggie deficit and have had 2.0 cups today so far. If I have no more, the beginning-of-tomorrow deficit will be:
-4.9 plus 2.0 consumed minus 2.5 quota = -5.4. (cups)

I also write down what fruit I have, but so far I don't have a quota or try to cumulatively track. I should [1]

Also for the main starch, I rotate between potatoes, rice, potatoes, pasta, potatoes, beans, potatoes, rice etc.

I favor potatoes over rice (full of arsenic) and pasta (processed food).

It looks like pasta night YEAH! (usually lasts a couple or 3 days)

Also depends on what's on the FRWL too (Food Rot Watch List). Got some slow-cooked chicken in the fridge.

By the time I figure all this out, its nap time!
