Hi Jeff,

The following are your estimations of calories per pound for vegetable-based
foods:

* Fresh Veggies - 100 calories per pound
* Fresh Fruits - 250-300 calories per pound
* Starchy Veggies/ Intact Whole Grains - 450-500 calories per pound
* Legumes - 550-600 calories per pound
* Processed Whole Grains - 1200-1500 calories per pound
* Nuts/Seeds - 2800 calories per pound
* Oils - 4000 calories per pound

Do you have likewise estimates for any of the following animal products so a
somewhat comparison could be made with the above vegetable-based foods?

* Poultry -
* Beef or Pork -
* Fish -
* Dairy -

Thanks,

Tim
