Have i done enough?

Rice and pasta are not used for nutrition, they are used to fill you up. Same for bread, potatoes, corn and any other of the basic grains. Maize is not a vegetable, it is a grain.

In fact, bread is about the most useless food you can put in your mouth. That was why it was never rationed during WW2 and they tried to stuff a portion of the "national loaf" into every meal.

Using a high nutrition ration and filling up on the carbs you stretch your expensive and nutritious food longer.

Beans become the best of both worlds. They provide both nutrition and carb intake.
