Actually it is based on my personal tastes...it took me a really long time to find breakfast foods I actually wanted to eat. What is so "unpleasant and random" about it? Is it the lack of sugar? It's based off of more or less meeting the requirements given to me by MFP, eating a mostly vegetarian diet (with meat once a week), reducing sugar, and eating legumes/nuts, vegetables, and whole grains. Soooo basically what most nutritionists say are the cornerstones of a healthy diet.
No, it's not about the sugar. I don't eat added much in the way of added sugars.
Glad you like it. It still seems quite random to me. The dinner seems fine. It's just the rest that seems monotonous and random. But again, if you like it.

I withhold judgement based upon two things: 1) What's your TDEE? 2) Can you eat like this every day? If not, work in some other meals that you could also eat to fight boredom and reduce the risk of blowing calories on something else entirely because you're bored.0

so nothing... you asked why poeple thought it was restrictive... i answered...0 -
OP- why so specific?
Things that are more relevant than talking about your toasted whole-grain bread:
What are the calories? What are the macros? What is your TDEE? What is your goal?0 -

The FDA guidelines.
What is so "random" about it? For breakfast I have a bunch of protein and fat to keep me awake and last me until 10:30 AM or so. For lunch I have some protein and fat but also carbs for fuel. Morning and afternoon snacks are just to keep me from getting hungry between meals (because if I get hungry between meals I WILL go out and buy some overpriced Evo Hemp bar or something sugary).

Some protein and fat, with some carbs...
Snacks to keep from getting hungry.
Much less restrictive.

Currently my recommended calories are 1600. I forgot what my TDEE is...maybe 1800?
I have been eating pretty much like this on and off for the past few weeks and haven't gotten bored yet. Lunch is a little boring but it's basically my only option because my job doesn't have a break room with a refrigerator, so all the stuff I bring has to be nonperishable. We're moving to a new building in a couple of months supposedly that will have a break room.

I'm just confused. I didn't expect such an overwhelmingly negative response. I also didn't expect people to be shaming me based on how "boring" my meals are. I was hoping to get a response along the lines of is this diet HEALTHY or not, not whether you personally would eat it.

Ummmm once again the water is alongside the Cheerios, aka to drink, not on them. I don't like milk on cereal anyway, never have.

You can buy ice packs and freeze them. Then they will be ready to put in your lunch box.0
