How many grams of protein do you want/need per day? What sources are you using for this determination?
It seems like 0.8 g per kg of human male is the accepted RDI. Harvard Health Blog, verywell fit, healthline
What is your preferred animal:plant protein ration and why? (essential amino acids, environmental)
I don't have a strong preference on what my preferred ratio is, especially because I don't pay too much attention to what I eat. I don't particularly like eating food, and I don't particularly like eating meat, so I think I could go for a more environmentally friendly ratio, because even "overdosing" on some amino acids to hit the rarer ones RDI would be less environmentally impactful than eating more meat.

Cross check the https://www.myfooddata.com (Links to an external site.) essential amino acid values/food with the tables in the slides (Links to an external site.). Do they seem consistent? Provide evidence for you answer.
Well, we used the RDI from an external dataset. The my food data website said that this was the data they used, but the RDI values were somewhat different. However, the values the script comes up with are pretty similar to the website, although our RDI seems to be higher than the website.
Were there any essential amino acids, vitamins, or minerals needs that were challenging to satisfy during your meal planning? What are some foods particularly high in that vitamin or mineral?
Tryptophan and Methionine, which seems to be mostly taken care of by milk and eggs.
