The one change

Nothing to change. This glass clears all six meters, so keep it.

Graded on the six meters Gyroscope grades a meal on, for a 165 lb adult on 2,000 calories over three meals: a protein line of 30 g. The Gyroscope app personalizes yours. Grade it for you

The swap

No powder: 7 oz of Greek yogurt in place of the scoop. It grades A, with 34 g of protein in 440 calories.

The priced parts come to $0.43. Coffee, whey, cocoa, oats and spinach have no federal price, so the takeout calculator asks for yours.
