i thought i was getting enough b12 because:

- a cup of soy milk has 50% of the rdi. that was constant, every day, for breakfast. i was also eating ice cream every morning.
- i was eating lots of cheese. you're looking at another 30%/day.
- i was getting the rest from salami in the pasta and with the eggs, and from the eggs themselves.
- and, i'd get a burger or some bacon or whatever once in a while when i was out.

i might have been on the lowish side, granted, but it should have added up. but, it's seeming like it might have been on the lowish side of low, even - around 130ish - and it could have very well been a part of the problem. i don't know for sure, i wasn't tested....

i've since added nutritional yeast and yogurt to the breakfast, i've tripled my soy intake, i've added (and removed) fortified yogurt and added (and kept) nutritional yeast to the salad, and i'm eating eggs every day, too.

so, i've gone from 120% to 1200%.

the nutritional yeast is working, it seems.
