Instead of thinking in terms of how much food, think in terms of how many calories.

If each person needs 1500 calories/day (decent number for an adult human) then:

1500 (calories) * 6 people * 6 months * 30 days/month = A lot of calories (you can do the math if you want to) lets call this variable F

Then when you consider you food calculate in:

carbs and protein: 4 calories/gram

fats: 9 calories/gram

Lets say your going with a 4:3:3 ration of carbs:protein:fat

The math would then be

F * .4 = calories of carbs needed, then divide this by 4 for the total grams needed

F * .3 = calories of protein needed, then divide this by 4 for the total grams needed

F * .3 = calories of fat needed, then divide this by 9 for the total grams needed

I think this is correct to know how many total grams of food you need, and how to proportion this ratio is proper balance.

It's important to do this when buying long term storage able survival food as well.

Can an amphibian live on Mars?

No it cannot. Not only do amphibians need liquid water (which Mars does not have), they also need food and oxygen. Mars also has a very thin atmosphere and a very weak magnetosphere, which does not block much of the sun's radiation. That radiation would kill anything on the surface. Mars is also very cold.
