This calculator is arithmetic on a table, not a live mixer. Enter quantities from your own Eat Everything In A Grocery Store session. It will not click the shop.
Material planner
Food Index remaining
Subtract the foods you have already tasted from the official 175-food Food Index. Change the index size only if the current in-game index shows a different total.
Required total = materials per upgrade × number of upgrades. Missing = max(required total − materials already owned, 0).
The official description says the Food Index has 175 foods. Enter how many distinct foods you have already tasted. Missing entries equal index size times entries-per-food, minus foods tasted. Leave entries-per-food at 1 and the size at 175 unless the live index shows a different count. This form does not read your in-game index.
