Adjust as needed please

I know this has been covered but I'm gonna give you guys the diet plan that I plan on switching to and I want yalls opinion. I'm gonna be feeding them twice a day as usual but with RAW it will be as follows:

Morning: 1 chicken quarter with 1cup of raw previous frozen veggies(peas, carrots)
Night: 1.5lbs of beef liver with 1cup of raw previous frozen veggies(peas, carrots

NEXT DAY

Morning: 1.5lbs of fish with one cup of raw veggies(peas, carrots)
Night: 1 chicken quarter with 1 cup of raw veggies(peas, carrots)

and feed 1 raw egg as a treat every other day...................then repeat


After doing careful research I've found that RAW can be served in many ways but I just wanted to know if there was anything obvious I'm leaving out because I'm a noob.

***EDIT*** : How much should I expect to spend monthly on this new diet? Guesstimate please.

most dogs need to have the veggies pureed to digest them.. before you jump into a raw diet you should do some research...

I'm guessing I'm going in the wrong direction. Out of all the research I've done that's what I've come up with. What else could be missing because I thought I had everything covered down to the portion to weight ratio? Any personal suggestions would be appreciated.

Organ meat is missing from that diet

Organ meat is missing from that diet
I have liver included in the OP and plan. I was thinking maybe twice a week is too much. Not sure though.
