🧠 What This Table Is (and Isn’t)
This IS:
-
A decision aid
-
A conversation starter
-
A way to explain why meals exist
This is NOT:
-
A calorie chart
-
A rigid rulebook
-
A moral judgment of food
Context always matters.
🔑 Key Insight (This Is Important)
A Gold meal is not “all 5s.”
A Gold meal is:
-
Balanced for the goal
-
Gentle on the shortfall
-
Supportive of recovery
Example:
-
High circulation foods can harm a depleted nervous system if overused.
-
High recovery foods without digestion support can stagnate.
This table lets you see that.
