so, i'm finishing up b2 info and concluding that there really isn't a "real meat" source that can get me enough b2. b2, like b1, comes in plant sources, too, and i'm not really concerned about my ability to absorb b2 that is enriched via fortification. so, if i can find a soy source with 70% b1 & 50% b2, that's actually substantively better than the 10-15% i'm going to get from a hunk of chicken meat.

high concentration animal sources of b2 seem to be relegated to organ meat, and gross.

the only other option is mushrooms, and i need to ask - is the high b2 content of mushrooms with or without the shit? i was taken to a mushroom farm when i was a kid, and it left me with a rather unpleasant view of them as a food source. i'll keep it at the back of my mind, but i don't really want to rely on them as a source of anything. i'm not picky, actually - it's one of the very few things i avoid, as a rule. and, if i end up bringing them in, it will likely be in the form of a sauce on (fake) meat, rather than alone.

so, i've added a spot for a meat substitute and i hope i find a good one.

that said, the other thing i'm doing is adding in the coffee and the nutritional value of coffee is surprising me; it may help to mitigate low levels of a few things if i can't find enough of them in a reasonable source in my egg meal, specifically, but also overall. the coffee/soy combo gets me into the yellow for b2, into the orange for b5 & d (getting me over 100 for each) and more comfortably into the orange for choline, as well. it really mitigates b2 issues around the eggs.

data for coffee is here:

https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/beverages/3898/2

...except biotin. like kiwis, i just can't find it. but, like kiwis, i expect it to be relatively high. this is really particularly unimportant, at this point.

data for soy either came from the carton or was recalculated from the same source as previously (in truth, reproportioned from the table).

should i worry about absorbing vitamins with coffee? or coffee's effects on cholesterol levels? i wouldn't, really - that seems to be a myth, pushed potentially by religious groups railing against caffeine consumption. you need to be careful about stuff like that, as the bias is hard to undo. coffee should lower the ph of your stomach, which should increase absorption, in theory, even if you'd be hard-pressed to find science backing that up. most of what people are calling "antinutrients" appear to have little measurable effect in your actual stomach. and, coffee is high in plant phytosterols that should be beneficial, overall.

the other thing is i tend to sip coffee over a long period rather than chug it, so i'm only taking in small amounts at a time. i'm drinking 700 ml a day, but that's, like, 30 ml/hour (i don't sleep much). how much of an effect could such small concentrations have on anything at all?

that said, i'm going to make an attempt to stop taking my hormones with coffee, directly, and start taking them with a sip of juice, instead. it could only help.

if you're worried about it, don't drink coffee with your meal - and i usually don't, i drink water or juice. and, get tons of c, too, which i'm very militant about.

the proof is in the measurement, and i need to refer you to my extremely low cholesterol levels. if the coffee is having some effect on my iron, i've never measured it, and i can only try to overpower it and see what happens.

disclaimer:
i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.
