Back to the diet problem
Here’s my most recent solution
Carbohydtrates 3.19 grams
Food selections
yogurt 4
caulwsauce 3
banana 5.23
coffee 2
spinaprsalad 5
chili 0.18
AtkinsShake 0.49
Oatmeal 3
Protein 95
Calories 1800
Calories from fat 220
Note that I’ve added a few foods to select from and I’ve put some limits on how much of certain foods are selected. No more than 4 yogurts, 3 of the cauliflower w/cheese sauce, 2 coffees, 5 salads, and 3 oatmeals.
Foods in the mix that the model does not select are peanut butter w/cracker, tomato juice, and scrambled egg.
I’m still working on adding some foods to the model. Three that come to mind right now are bread, apricots, and maybe a shrimp salad.
The model likes the bread. Adding these three foods gives me a reduction in carbs from 319 g. to 291 grams but it means eating 18 hunks of Italian bread to get there. Limiting bread to 4 servings a day gives a more rational solution.except it calls for eating 28 apricots a day. Sigh.
I have three foods to select form with apricots (the shrimp salad, the spinach salad and the canned apricots). Limiting the combination of those three to a total of five apricots per day gives
Yogurt 4
Cauliflower 3
Banana 5
Coffee 2
Spinach/apricot salad 5
Chili 1.3
Bread 4
With 312 g carbs, less than 95 g. protein, 1800 calories, 220 from fat.
