    What is your age and height? You need to be eating more food.

    I'm sorry but that looks like the most miserable and depressing diet I have ever seen. If you genuinely enjoy those foods - great. But if not, add in the stuff you like, make those foods fit your calorific goals.


    Also, as RodaRose points out - eat more. This menu looks like just about 900 to 1000 calories!

    I think you might want to consider adding in some vegetables somewhere. Your plan is almost entirely lean protein and dairy.

    This - No leafy greens. No orange or red vegetables. It is a very white diet and you may be missing nutrients.

    Not seeing real varied foods nor macros in this list. Protein is there, but veggies? Where are all the veggies? Veggies at every meal! Complex carbs? Whole grains? Again, what is your calorie intake? What are your goals? About 2 weeks after that list - I would certainly give up. The title states, Food Prep..... Now, there is a subject I can get in to. I'm a big food prep person for the week - keeps me on track and makes for easy meals when the hangries have me wanting to binge.

    What everyone else said about vegetables. This diet would cause me terrible constipation. You need more fiber to keep things moving.

    This is about half of my meal plan for the day, with another 3 meals on top of it. Add some fruit and veggies, some complex carbs. Maybe change up your protein sources occasionally. I don't eat a lot of calories in a day, but it's a LOT of food (at least for me).
