Clarification

I’m sure some of my vast readership (HA!) is wondering how eating clam chowder that has bacon in it and risotto made with chicken stock works into my whole plan.  At the beginning of me trying this, I decided I didn’t want to make it too hard for my wife (who does most of the cooking) to make food, and I didn’t want to make the plan so complicated that I wouldn’t stick to it.  So, my rules are flexible.  There’s only 4 oz of bacon in the whole pot of clam chowder (probably 12 servings), so I don’t worry about it.  And the meat and poultry rules are defined as actual meat, so stock doesn’t count.  I’m not trying to be vegetarian, just cut down on the amount of meat I eat.
