i started meal prepping, so throughout my day i eat fruits for breakfast, my first meal which is broccoli white rice and grilled chicken, and then once more again for dinner, but apparently that's not enough calories for one day

    How many calories does it say you are eating? My guess is if you are asking this question, the answer is probably yes. It depends on portion sizes, but that doesn't sound like a whole lot of food. Could easily be less than 1000 calories, which would definitely be too low

    How long can you sustain such a limited diet? For me, I wouldn't last a week eating the same food over and over again. I've tried and it just doesn't work. Eating a varied diet that fills you and satisfies your taste buds works a lot better over the long haul. And losing weight really is a question of looking at the long haul. You can lose weight on very low calories, but most people won't keep it off.

    Don’t limit yourself on what you can eat. If you wanna eat clean and healthy work your way into it so you’re not bingeing or falling off the wagon.

    Limiting your diet to chicken, broccoli, rice, and fruit isn't especially healthy. Nothing unhealthy about, for example, fish, asparagus, barley, and nuts.

    Yeah you need more in your diet, you’ll eventually get tired of the same diet and regress.

    You should not assume that. Some people are perfectly happy eating the same food every single day for extended periods of time. I am not one of them but they exist. A few of them have posted here.

    I think it is a bad idea to get most of your nutrition from very limited sources. It is one of the reasons I don't recommend replacement shakes like slimfast. I believe variety is important so I always make it a priority in my weekly planning.

    Okay fair enough, MOST people will regress from eating the same meal over and over again without getting all the nutrition you need.
