    Your body needs consistent nutrition so you need to balance your meals with everything every meal.

    Also, I am a vegan and tofu makes me extremely sick so I can't really add anything to my salads.

    This seems overly restrictive then. Where are you getting your protein? How about nuts or eggs?

    Or beans and rice.....beans & chickpeas are great on salad.

    Eat whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as you weigh it and you are meeting your caloric deficit :)

    Life is to short to needlessly have such a restricted diet! Like acheben said, if it works for you, great. But if it doesn't, don't be afraid to tweak things!

    This.

    I am thankful to ones one who aren't rude on here. For those who have helpful information, thank you so much. To those just being rude and saying I'm setting my body up for disaster, it's actually better than I have been eating. I'm in the process of eating disorder recovery, they are helping me but it is hard. Also, I am a vegan and tofu makes me extremely sick so I can't really add anything to my salads.

    You don't need tofu to add things to your salad. Vegan sources of protein include beans, seitan, and grains -- all of which can be added to salads easily. If it isn't about soy and it's just tofu, you can also consider adding tempeh to your salads.

    Vegans wouldn't eat eggs, but there are still many options for protein including beans, grains, and seitan. If tofu (not soy) is the issue, then tempeh could also be used.

    Also, seitan would be a good source of protein if you can tolerate gluten. And as mentioned, you should be discussing your diet with your recovery team; to me, it still seems overly restrictive, which they may be concerned with.

    I don't think they are trying to hurt your feelings, just keep you from jumping into something most people can't sustain. You should try adding chai seeds to a vinaigrette dressing on your salad, or chopped walnuts and dried berries, or raw sunflower seeds. I agree with others that you may be lacking fats and proteins in this plan. Maybe you could try adding coconut oil to your coffee for a little more fat in the morning, I have heard some folks saying they do that. Good luck!
