We have been following the 801010 menus for a week doing the best we could, using the winter ones because it is too early here for real strawberries. We had to make several substitutions since persimmons are over and there is not a papaya to be found. We had apples (from our garden) and mangoes instead.
As could have been foreseen, we could not eat the quantities recommended.
I carefully weighed all that I ate and logged the info into cronometer.
nutrients lacking this week:
omega 3 (23% covered)
protein (72%) (not really worried about this)
calcium (40%)
zinc (56%)
vitamin E (67%)
vitamin B12 0%
Would certain foods be better than others to even things out?
0 B12 and calcium concern me the most.

Is there a guide other than varying and eating in season for balancing over the week?

Thank you for providing this discussion board.
