1. I am picking up Mexican from a local favorite when I get off of work.

So, 2 chili rellenos, a tamale and a steak street taco. My wife is having the enchilades verdes and steak flautas. Of course, with chips and salsa and my favorite beer.

Nobody feels like cooking tonight. And there's always leftovers for later!!

3. Dunno. my veggie deficit is 2.9 cups and my meat deficit is 2.8 ounces at this moment

I have a quota, which i never quite meet of 2.5 cups vegetables per day (or more is better), per something from FDA or somesuch,
and 4 ounces (a quarter pound) of meat per day (goal is no more and no less).

If I did not eat any more veggies or meat today, I would start tomorrow with a 5.4 cup veggie deficit and 6.8 ounce meat deficit.

I keep track of each: deficit (or rare surplus) at the beginning of the day, the amount consumed during the day, less the amount I'm supposed to consume in a day, and that's the deficit for the beginning of the next day.

For example I started the day with a 4.9 cup veggie deficit and have had 2.0 cups today so far. If I have no more, the beginning-of-tomorrow deficit will be:
-4.9 plus 2.0 consumed minus 2.5 quota = -5.4. (cups)

I also write down what fruit I have, but so far I don't have a quota or try to cumulatively track. I should [1]

Also for the main starch, I rotate between potatoes, rice, potatoes, pasta, potatoes, beans, potatoes, rice etc.

I favor potatoes over rice (full of arsenic) and pasta (processed food).

It looks like pasta night YEAH! (usually lasts a couple or 3 days)

Also depends on what's on the FRWL too (Food Rot Watch List). Got some slow-cooked chicken in the fridge.

By the time I figure all this out, its nap time!
