this was going to be a different post, but i have to step back.

i contacted bulk barn about the nutritional yeast, and they gave me slightly different answers than was at the usda site - and, in truth, largely for the better. i need to update that first, before i look at tweaking the other items.

i weighed a tsp of this stuff and it's about 3-4 g on the scale, which is more than i penciled in. so, the potency of this stuff is actually more than i thought, for everything except the pesky b5, which i wasn't getting anything from this, anyways (and actually went down by removing the breakfast replacement). the b12, in particular, is very high - enough that i hardly need to concern myself with supplemental protein sources. well....let me double check that...this b12 is "not from animal sources". and, i may still find myself concerned about heme-iron - i'm not actually sure.

i initially multiplied the amount by 3/16 to get 3 g, but that seems to be overkill and i've reduced it to 2/16 for both meals, which loses nothing.

i'm also replacing the breakfast essentials with the nutritional yeast, while i'm at it. but, that opens up an interesting question - if the breakfast essentials is just fortified powdered milk, can i not just add fortified powdered milk?

1) it would have to be non-fat at these volumes or it's a non-starter.

2) fortified milk seems to be low in b1, broadly. i'd need to add 180+ g of it, everything else equal, which would introduce huge amounts of lactose and roughly 600 calories. yikes.

3) it's even lower in b3, and i'd need 300 g for that. so, that's over a 1000 calories, just in dried milk. 

the answer, then, is "no.". well, unless i can find super fortified powdered milk, which i'll keep an eye out for, i guess. but, they'd call that "breakfast replacement" and boost the price. right? it's kind of a shame, because i could otherwise use it as a major source of b5 and a major source of choline, as well. as it is, that's something to think about regarding plugging that b5 hole - maybe i could add a pinch of powdered milk.

the soy powder is more or less the same issue, and may provide more or less the same value.

lastly, i've added a line to the top that says raison d'etre, which is why this item exists in the diet. this will help me prune it down a little, which is coming. that yeast is powerful shit, so i don't need empty calories...

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.
