Hi and welcome back!!
Good luck with your EE, if you do decide to do a red day or two, I used to make the same meals for me and OH but give him potatoes/pasta whereas I just had veg with my meal. I made a curry and made me a bed of beansprouts and mushrooms instead of rice which I gave him, I had a bowl of bolognese and had boiled carrot batons and green beans instead of pasta, and gave him pasta, roast dinner and had butternut squash and gavehim spuds.
It wasn't two different meals, it was just one extra side dish and really helped. xx
