1) we're back to one kiwi.
2) i'm adding 2 tsps of grnd flax seed to offset the avocado. data here:
so, is that the perfect breakfast?
if all i cared about was vitamins & 6:3 ratios, sure. i think total fats are going to be low when i work them out. and, am i getting enough minerals?
that leaves sugar to ponder about as i move forward.
the breakfast thing is a potential downside for sugar, but it's not like it's horrible, either. the bananas are almost as bad. eyeballing it, 17*2 + 1 + 7 + 9 + 22 + 21 + 11 = 105 g. if you follow the government recommendations, this would be very bad, but they root their argument in this naturalistic fallacy that "added sugar" is worse than "natural sugar", and i can't for the life of me figure out why your body would care if sugar was natural or added. sugar is sugar. well, ok, carbs are different than simple sugars, but your body shouldn't care if you're eating an apple or drinking a glass of pop. all these various -oses are really more or less the same thing, it's just a question of how much energy it takes to process it - and how much energy you're expending. remember the conservation law, which is the fundamental basis of physics. rather, that seems to be a facile rule of thumb presented for stupid people to measure calorie indices, mostly for bourgeois people concerned about weight gain (which i'm not concerned about at all). but, that means that what they're saying is you can eat as many strawberries as you want, but you should only eat a spoonful of strawberry jam, and that's just not going to be right - you should, in fact, not survive on strawberries, either. as it is, what i'm interested in is actually diabetes, not weight gain - i couldn't gain weight when i tried. but, the government would only count the last four, which is 63 g, even though much of the sugar in the soy comes from whole beans and more than half of the sugar in the ice cream is from the milk. i think it's clear that i don't think that what the government is telling you here is very useful...even if i realize that this breakfast thing is a potential problem....
in fact, the government would tell you the banana is not a problem, but the cereal is - despite the banana having far more sugar and the cereal having far more fiber. that hardly makes sense.
again: i'm not diabetic. but, i'd like to keep it that way.
i really wish they'd just tell you how much total simple sugar to consume in the form of an rdi and let me figure out how i want to spend it, rather than try to trick me into eating more fruit (and, in fact, i've been mostly eating fruit for years).
as it is, i'm mostly concluding, at this point, that information regarding healthy total sugar intake is not readily available on the internet, and i'm going to have to delve a little deeper to get a reasonable analysis of things that are actually substantive. i don't want to separate between "natural" and "added" sugar, i want a total maximum amount. i'll do that later...
what i can point out is that the fact that there's also a lot of fiber in this breakfast is probably more important than the sugar content, if you're concerned about your stomach fat (so long as you're not sedentary - and i should be clear that this diet would be terrible for couch potatoes). as i say, i'm more concerned about glycemic loads.
and, as far as i can tell, these are all low glycemic index foods, including the premium ice cream (gi: 38) - except the rice in the cereal. but, the cereal also has whole grain wheat, roasted soybeans & whole grain oats, which should be far better than the rice. again: i wish they fortified the special k, so i wasn't forced to eat vector to get a sufficient amount of vitamins. i mean, what kind of shitty choice is that - you can be diabetic, or nutrient deficient. pick your poison? as it is, i don't actually think this is going to be that bad, even if it's the component of my diet with the highest glycemic load.
the breakfast replacement is likewise confusing as, while it has introduced sugar, it's also essentially powdered skim milk, which is 50% natural occurring sugar (largely lactose, i presume) and has a very low gi of 27. so, if this 40 g packet is 80+% plain powdered skim milk, 17 or more of those 21 g are "natural" and the bit of added sugar, as preservative, shouldn't be so bad for glycemic loads. but, i don't really know - that's something i can ask about when i get there. for now, i'll just be clear: these packages appear to essentially be fortified powdered skim milk with added preservatives. that sugar count may be misleading.
what about calories? 2*121 + 322 + 47 + 100 + 224 + 150 + 217 + 30 = 1332 calories, which is going to be about half to a third of the amount consumed in a healthy diet. by that calculation, the breakfast is about 30% simple sugar, which is a little high; but, i think that the other meals will have less simple sugar, and we'll see how it balances out.
so, those are my caveats - there's a fair amount of calories and a fair amount of total sugar, here, but i'm less concerned about this than the vitamins. this is a diet for a healthy, active person that burns a lot of energy and needs a lot of vitamins, not for a video game addict. and, i will calculate these concerns as best as i can when i have all of my vitamin needs worked out.
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.
