HPW + Calcium question - 09/02/09 07:29 PM
Ok, I've been doing a LOT of work on diet stuff for my kids. I have the nutritional analysis of HPW and HPW by itself is only a 1.29:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus, when added with the balanced fruits and veggies it becomes 1.8:1. I have been doing lots of math today trying to figure out the best way to get the HPW to be a balanced 2:1 ratio. I think I've got it, but I need input and people to check my math for me.
HPW Per serving (1.5 teaspoons)
Calcium-5.92mg
Phosphorus-4.56mg
Ratio-1.29:1
Ok, I changed the Per Serving values into for the entire batch.
-One batch=5 cups
-1 cup=16 tablespoons
-1 tablespoon=3 teaspoons
So in theory there are 160 servings per batch.
5.92*160=947.2mg
4.56*160=729.6mg
Ok moving to the Babyfood Apple Juice with Calcium
One serving is 186g
Per serving
Calcium-240mg
Phosphorus-15mg
Ratio-16:1
Ok, next I added the Calcium from the Babyfood Apple Juice to the HPW mix 240+947.2=1187.2mg, and then added the phosphorus 15+729.6=744.6. This brings the ratio up to a 1.59:1
Next I broke it back down to per serving.
Calcium 1187.2/160=7.42mg
Phosphorus 744.6/160=4.65mg
Calcium would go up by 1.5mg per serving
Phosphorus would go up by .09 per serving
The Nutritional Analysis of the HPW also gave the amounts of the HPW diet as a whole (served with balanced fruits and veggies)
Calcium-11.22
Phosphorus-6.2
I then added the difference of 1.5 to the calcium, because thats how much the calcium would go up, 11.22+1.5=12.7mg per serving.
I then added the difference of .09 to the phosphorus, because thats how much the phosphorus would go up, 6.2+.09=6.29.
The new ratio became 2.01:1
Anyone have any input on this? Is it a good thing? Did I do my math right? Would it be beneficial to use?
Please No one change their HPW diets based off this
