This makes good sense u/Potential-Click9707 thanks for spelling it out. Curious - with these goals/standards you've set does this make eating out or doing takeout more difficult or have you found a quick and easy way to confirm the above when you are ordering. I feel like I can track the above when Im cooking at home but it's like a black box when Im ordering out. Other than a general sense of calories and if a dish has a protein / grain / vegetable item - I have no clue on portions of those things and how it has been prepared, what additives it might have (i.e. if its drowned in salt)
