Running this through myfood24, to the best of our ability (some foods such as calling birds (blackbird) or turtle dove were not available); we made some reasonable assumptions. We can see that as the days mount up, the energy and particularly protein and fat content, of the food really racks up.
The truelove may well be advised to provide just one day of provisions at a time! Vegetables are completely missing and so are staples.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the myfood24 team!
