Thanks for highlighting these, these are both really good points. I really appreciate the thought provoking comments and questions you’ve left generally so thank you!
Regarding point 2: In hindsight, it would have probably been more accurate to weight each meal but their relative ‘animal-content’ e.g. 0.5 for dinner, 0.35 for lunch and 0.15 for breakfast. You’re right in that most people won’t be eating meat for breakfast (except on weekends I imagine) so that should be weighted down. If I used the weights above, it would probably be very similar to the 0.33 I’ve basically assumed in my original model so you’re right in that it probably wouldn’t change much.
Regarding number 1, again it would make some to have some kind of subjective weighting system based on the size of the meals. I did add a little epistemic uncertainty factor to the top of my post of about 70-80% as like you and Ula have pointed out rightly, there’s definitely more factors that I could have included in my analysis but I didn’t for simplicity/time.
