Lunch--- Always a large romain salad with cucumbers and cabage and some sort of chicken, and another cup of soy milk

    Yeh I suggest you eat different things, thats boring as hell and a sure fire way to fail is to eat the same thing over and over and over.

    Also why not eat egg yolks thats where all the nutrients are.

    You don't have much fat in what is above. A lot of your vitamins are fat soluble so they are not going to absorb with out fat. Maybe cheeses, adding a good olive oil to your salad, avocado is a great choice. What about nuts many have a good balance to add to your diet. Quest bars also seems to be good when you need something quick.

    You live in the US. There are more foods available I'm sure. You have some decent meals but they need to be changed so that you have a variety .. I noticed you have ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY (160) friends, maybe look at their food diary's for some suggestions or better yet ask them, after all they post to you daily !!! Good luck !!

    This sounds like a horrifically boring diet. My advice is eat different stuff. If you have faves then eat them everyday but otherwise variety is the spice of life.

    I like beef pork chicken and salad so the salads fine and I don't get the beef as grilled its always in some sort of pasta and is very bland so I stick to what I know I enjoy right now it's the salad I mostly asked cause it feels in my head like I am missing out on nutrition by eating the same thing every day and was hoping someone would shed light on it.

    I can add cheese to my eggs in the morning on toast would you suggest white cheese or the craft singles yellow cheese? Also the soy milk I belive has a lot of fat i will have to check and get back to you.

    When given the choice between a natural food and a processed food, the answer should pretty much always be the natural food. I have a piece of sharp cheese almost every morning. It gives me a good kick start and I almost never feel hungry before 10:30 (when it's time for my morning fruit break).

    Can you get your hands on some peanut butter? You do seem to be missing fat.

    It seems like your options are really limited. Kraft Singles melt really nicely on toast and are good with eggs. Do that. It will be yummy.

    Being deployed, your choices are limited.

    Try and add colors, maybe. Fruit and veg of different colors to try and mix up the vitamins you're getting as well as add some difference.

    Depending on where you are in the universe, local fruits can be fantastic. I'm just going to go out on a limb as guess Afghanistan since that's where most our service men and women end up -

    Grapes, apricots, almonds (high fat, nutrient rich), should be in ready supply. I think Apples and ... pomegranate? I can't remember.

    Thank you for your service

    Thanks or serving!!

    If Kraft cheese is your option I would probably not add that.

    Try to add a variety of fruit and veggies when it is an option.

    Send us an address!! Lets see if MPF can add some variety!
