Low histamine

By mechanism, not by list: fermented, cured, aged, and the fish that spoil fast. Leftovers are the part no food record can see, so the tool asks which meals are, and says how much they add.

covers 22 of 29 · short on vitamin d, epa + dha, calcium

Breakfast has 4.5 mg of plant iron and almost no vitamin C (15 mg) or meat alongside it. Absorption will sit at the low end. Peppers, citrus, strawberries or broccoli in the same meal change this materially. Also in Snack.

Breakfast puts 343 mg of calcium alongside its iron, and calcium blunts iron absorption. Moving milk, 2% to a different meal costs nothing. Also in Dinner.

Phytate-to-zinc molar ratio is about 12 — moderate. Zinc absorption sits near the middle of its range.

Nearly all of today's omega-3 is ALA from plants (0.24 g of 2.92 g is EPA or DHA). Conversion runs at a few percent, so this target reads as met while the long-chain fats the body uses are barely covered. Oily fish or an algal source is the only real fix.

Histamine is a property of age and handling as much as of the food. Leftovers of any protein food climb with every day in the fridge, a fish's count depends on the hours since it was caught, and banana, tomato and avocado rise with ripeness. Heat does not destroy it. None of that is visible here, so a day that reads clean is clean only if it is eaten fresh.
