so, the question i need to ask myself with the bran is how much i need to get enough betaine, and in the process i found a conversion factor error with the pasta - it should say 10.34, not 103.4. so, i need to do a comprehensive review of the data entries to make sure i'm sure that everything is right. i'm also not clear what the right answer for the pasta bowl is, as that puts me back in the orange. i've done a few of these self-reviews, and i'm sure i'll do a few more. it's a part of the process.

right now, i need to know how much i need in my fruit bowl, and the answer is:

165 - (.136 + .3 + 1.05 + .375 + 2.048 + 1.034 + 45.2925 + .217) = 114.5475

so, i need 125 mg or so in the fruit bowl.

the usda survey of choline suggests that the brand i bought (kellog's all bran original) has 360 mg of betaine per 100 g of cereal.

that is about on par with the 320-410 mg/100g data presented here:

360x = 125 <---> x = 125/360 = 0.34722222222

so, 35 g should be sufficient. as it is, the serving size is 36 g. i'll just stick with that.

i am going to prepare this meal now - i'm a little behind from running around the last few days. but, in that 36 g i'll also get:

60% b1
10% b2
25% b3
8% b5
10% b6
10% b9
0% c, d & e

while i clearly will still need the vector, i may be able to reduce the amount of some ingredients, with this.

for the first meal, at least, i'm going to throw it in and then get to adding everything up. i will do my review of the data as i enter in the bran, so the next update should be triple-checked, for the fruit bowl, at least. i'll do a similar review for the past bowl when i enter in the sunflower seed data.

how much betaine do i need for the pasta bowl, now?

165 - (.2 + 10.34 + .42 + .44 + 106+ .088) = 47.512

360x = 50 <---> x= 50/360 = 0.13888888888. so, i'd need 15 g of all bran in the pasta bowl...

it's an idea i should consider.

for now, i need to make some cereal.
