It was explained to you wrong. Plain and simple. Can't even give
the advice credit for trying. It's wrong. It's interpreting a dog's
needs through the filter of human physiology. It doesn't work that
way.

Egad. It's no wonder she's a poor eater. You're barely feeding her
any appropriate food! Of what you list (and such a list it is) only
the mince and the egg are the least bit useful. Are you feeding any
bone at all?

She needs (NEEDS) animal protein and animal fats. Meat, edible bone,
organs. That's it. EVERYthing else is an astonishing
misinterpretation of nature. Dietary carbohydrates are not part of a
dog's nutrition pyramid.

Dogs in England are the same (except for, perhaps, their accents) as
dogs in the US and Canada and South America and China and anywhere
else on this planet. They are domesticated carnivorous gray wolves.
If your friend has been feeding this way for years, for years she has
been shortchanging her dogs. Please reconsider allowing her to
shortchange yours.
