I don’t know if this is terrible, but we rarely do this in-depth of a calculation on a meal anymore. Our meals are also much less elaborate but Samson also will rarely eat a predetermined portion of anything. So it’s all eyeballing and guesstimation. I have wondered if explaining Fermian estimation might be useful for some with Type 1 – I find I’m using those skills a lot in different form.
By the way, welcome back! Hope the move went well.
