Day 14: 20th April

After the last 2 days body is dehydrated and I'm tired - never again will I do 2 days espresso tasting?

Total Meat, butter & hard cheese for the week 647, OK if combined?

It's becoming even more obvious either I need better carbon data, or we have to make things simpler.

Feel like I'm underestimating salt/sodium, which if I had more meals out  or ready meals would be obliterated?
