There is an error here.  My average meal size was around a pound to a
pound and a half; not two pounds.  I've had largerer meals than two
pounds, especially when I first started eating beef, but that's not my
average.  I"ve also gone weeks by choice without meat, and at times as
many as ahi six times a week.
