the e is coming, but i ran out to get some groceries today and i need to get that data in, first. i'm starting with the pasta bowl because that's what i'm eating first, and these updates should really get me over the hump.

i need to get the yogurt in to finish the meal, but, in the process of searching for soy milk earlier in the month, i bought an obscure brand on an impulse buy. so, i've been eating my pasta with that since i ran out of casear, and it's not awful, if a little watery. i don't want to throw it out, so it'll have to do for a few weeks. and, i mean, it's not a bad sub for yogurt, nutritionally - it's got some b12, even if it's low on d.

rather, the first thing i picked up were beets, & explicitly for the betaine. so, that's what this update is about.

data from the usda, unless specified.

vitamin a: 1.64 μg

918.5 + 314 + 1.14583333333 + 1.64 = 1235.28583333

1235.28583333/900 = 137%, still

vitamin: b1: .025 mg

.108 + .0174 + .0726 + .025 + .1275 = 0.3505

.3505/1.2 = 29%

so, that's an increase of 2%

vitamin b2: .033 mg

.17 + .2568 + .0638 + .033 + .0285 = 0.5521

0.5521/1.3 = 0.42469230769---->42%

so, that's +2%

vitamin b3: .274 mg

1.958 + .0354 + 1.0813 + .274 + 0.92 = 4.2687

4.2687/16 = 0.26679375----> 26.5%

so, that's a 1.5% boost

vitamin b4:?. 

i can't find this on google, and i'm past the rdi. you'd think that gene content of beets is not that different than carrots, which would be low.

vitamin b5: .127 mg

(.634 + .23705 + .246 +.3003 + .127 + .056)/5 = 0.32007--->32%

so, that's +3%.

vitamin b6: .055 mg

(.582 + .0781+ .0396 + .1518 + .055 + .06)/1.7 = 0.56852941176----->57%

so, that's +3.5%.

vitmain b7: ~0

this site claims trace amounts:

http://apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data4h.html

vitamin b8: .12*82 = 9.84 mg

source: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a4fe/6e428501f09d5bf283459527b87dbf432aa3.pdf

(114 + 41.25 + 5.4 + 13.2 + 9.84 +  14.85)/1000 = 0.19854--->20%

(note that i corrected the number for pasta by doing the calculation in one step rather than two)

i've added a lime for inositol and that will update this morning as well.

vitamin b9: 89.4

(92 + 16.2 + 20.9 + 89.4 + 1.1)/400 = .549--->55%

that's a 22.5% boost that actually allows beets to take over for carrots as a b9 source. it also takes folate over 300%, total.

b12, b13 & b14 are not present in beets.

vitamin b15: 106 mg

(.2 + 103.4 + .42 + .44 + 106)/550 = 0.38265454545--->38%

this completes the requirements for this meal, and presents pasta & beet, together, as sufficient requirements for b15.

vitamin b16: 4.92 mg

(11.2 + 8.25 + 9.9 + 9.68 + 4.92 + 12.3)/550 = 0.10227272727--->10%

so, that's +1%.

vitamin b20: .02*.161*.82 = 0.0026404 mg ~ 0 mg

source:  https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5481&context=utk_graddiss

that link disappeared rather quickly (it seems to have been some kind of backdoor, as a few of these links have been, so i apologize if they disappear; i'll do a final review in the end and see if i can collect some of these sources more formally...although it came back as quickly as it disappeared), hopefully this one is more stable:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/eaf9/e6a5c2ce0b99ee4442a3cf9ac74a39f896d0.pdf

the data is about the same, with the second link presenting .0195 instead of .02. note that the second link will let me enter in data for strawberries & coffee as 0, as well; the first lets me zero out soy.

vitamin c: 4.02 mg

(255.4 + 6.49 + 4.02 + 0.05)/90 = 2.95511111111--->295.5%. 

so, that's +4.5%.

there is no vitamin d in beets.

as mentioned, the next add is the lime.

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.

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- vector cereal

- selection brand pasta [metro/food basics]

- dempster's whole grain double flax bread

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- natura chocolate soy milk

- no specific brand or type of coffee

diet options:

daily:

1) bran/fibre option for the fruit bowl will boost betaine a lot

 2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- yogurt is high in b5 and b8 and b12 and choline and d.

- beets good for betaine

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- lemon/lime (probably for phytonutrients) 

- garlic cloves (probably for phytonutrients)
- oregano & pepper (probably for phytonutrients)

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- 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). b15/dmg.

- 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.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in 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) eggs:
- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

- soy meat () <----only choice, really

- orange juice (1 cup) (15% b1, 4% b2, 5% b3, 5% b5, 5% b6, 19% b9, 207% c, added e?)

- grapefruit juice is high in inositol

- cranberry juice (unsweetened. need added c, has e)

- tomato juice

need: 6% b1, 75% b3, 45% b4, 65% b5, 15% b6, 25% b8, 55% b9, 60% b12, 10% k

other molecules required for proper metabolic functions:

2) coQ10
3) lipoic acid
4) glutathione precursors
5) ergothioneine  (cannot synthesize)   <-----mushrooms

9) betaine 

10) creatine? (avoidance? creatine increases muscle mass (which is bad.) but also improves brain function (which is good). careful.) 

glucose:
i'm more concerned about diabetes than weight gain, so...
the glycemic index is:
running total...

fiber:
i don't need many different types, i just need some. i'm not worrying about this.

& water
