The portions of non-meats in my example above is on the order of
a cup.

I would not see going from NeanderThin to Anchell -- I just eat
some eggplant instead of potato, squash instead of rice. I wouldn't
see how the reverse substitution would be an improvement -- just the
opposite in fact.

Anchell sounds a bit like Atkins to me.
