How about

Capt: "This is the MINIMUM amount of fuel I think we should take, do you think we should be taking any extra on top of that?"
At the end of the day, the captain isn't going to get airborne with less fuel than they want (quite right!) so how about giving the FO the lower limit and letting them work up if they want (And if you're willing)?
