So the thread on the variety of meals for the week got me thinking..
Does it make a difference at the intervals that variety is given?
For example, right now I have chicken, turkey, pork, beef, sardines, salmon, mackrel, and lamb available. Is it better to offer just one or two protein sources as each meal or each day? or can I offer as much variety as I want at each meal?
Like the morning Lily got a chunk of lamb neck, a chicken neck, ground beef, and a little salmon. Then at lunch she got a piece of chicken breast, pork neck, and ground beef. Tonight she gets a chicken back, ground pork, pork neck and salmon. Tomorrow I don't have any more lamb or beef rib but I add in chicken gizzards and turkey necks.
Each meal I measure out how much I am feeding, but instead of getting to the amount by just one or two protein sources, I offer a wider variety of what I have available.
Is there any harm or benefit to when/how the variety is offered in the diet so long as it is given?
