first, note that i've altered the matrix to remove the margarine from the necessary requirements list as much as possible, because i don't want to rely on cooking oil. so, that reasserts the importance of cheese with the eggs. for now...

also note that, now that i've correctly weighed the amount of strawberries at 150 g rather than 75 g, the strawberries outperform the (single) kiwi across the table, including on vitamin c - but that it's no longer a fair comparison. so, should i go to 300 g of strawberries then? not for the price, no - the kiwis are still better gram-for-gram, it's just that there's too much k. unlike most other berries (on the market in canada), strawberries at least have enough c, and come in large enough containers at a reasonable enough price, that you can scale them up a little. that same weight of blueberries or raspberries would be an entire container. they even help with the b5 enough that boosting the soy milk would get me back to 110 - if i thought it was worth it. and, it's maybe worthwhile to stop to realize that if the banana was a little bigger, and the kiwi was a little bigger, which is true as a matter of fact, and etc, then i'd get to the 110% amount - just as it is worthwhile to realize that that number is an average, and i could very well be consuming more than that on most days based on what i've already compiled.

the thing is that i'm trying to lowball and overestimate, to make sure i'm getting there, even with the worst batch of fruit. i wanted to wait until i had better data on strawberries before i reacted further, and the fact is that i'm still scraping together to get to the base level with the b5. so, what do i do?

i really don't want to rely on two bananas every day, that's sort of crazy. and, a third avocado is going to be pushing it for calories - they're remarkably healthy, but you can overdo it, too. so, should i add more soy? well, i just boosted the price, and the new source is less efficient on omega-6s, too. i actually want to keep the sunflower seed oil down, at least until i can figure out a better replacement for the so good, or find a continuing supplier. 

...and, now that i've received a response to my email, it does seem as though i'm out of luck. i'll have to get used to the natura. it's not that different, really - i'm nitpicking. but, i'm extremely disappointed, too. the difference may be marginal, but i'm trying to be specific, and the substitution is inferior (if required.) across the board. this sucks :(.

so, what are my potential sources of supplemental b5 & choline? let's list them and put the list aside until the end.

0) yes -  i could just add a little more soy milk. let me work that out, when i'm done.

1) egg concentrates or egg replacement powders should be high in b5 & high in choline but also high in omega-6s - but maybe not high in omega-6s, too. i may also get a dose of b12. some shopping is required. this is probably ideal. i don't want to cook an egg every morning and am not comfortable consuming them raw, but if i can find a tbsp of something to add, i might.

2) dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

3) dried milk is something to look at, but it's hard to say what's actually in it without checking and, according to the usda, the whey beats it on the things i'm interested in right now - b5, choline. it's better for d & b12, but i think i'm ok for both.

4) a dash of instant tea is an interesting thought, as it could get me 10% of the b5 (about what i need) with almost no fat. plus, it has caffeine :). specific brands of hot chocolate may be useful, too. i wouldn't want to commit until i've seen a label.

so, i'm going to put this aside for now.

the following options are also possible for the pasta meal:

5) sunflower seeds are high in b5 & high in e, with small amounts of choline but high amounts of omega-6. it doesn't really add up here, but may be better in the pasta bowl (after i work out the yogurt).

6) rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

this is a very minor update then, largely below the chart.

pseudo-b8 is for real next.

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.
