i select my food before eating...but i don't limit myself to essentially nuts and eggs with salad...i eat a variety of foods that provide a well-rounded diet (and yes that includes cookies and candy if it fits my macros for the day)
define clean food? define healthy? because they are typically undefinable as everyone has a different perception of what they are?2 -

You are right I should mention about all the other informations in the first place excuse me It is my first time writing on a blog. I already have been doing this plan for 6 months
, I feel more healthy and I am happy with that. Thanks for your time and advice.
You've eaten that same food every single day for 6 months? Every.Single.Day????? If you have, then you really do need to seek help, that is simply not normal. Do you never go out for a meal with friends? Have a bit of cake? Gosh that sounds utterly miserable and would indicate you have some problems to deal with.4 -

Yes we can define what is healthy and what is not. Can you categorize fast food as healthy food ? No, because it is not. If the plant was grown with pesticides then it is not a clean or healthy because it is contaminated by chemicals. Sugar ! you have to have 20 cups of sugar beets to extract 1 cup of sugar. Is it the natural way of eating ? Can you eat 20 pounds of sugar beets in one sitting ? Of course not but you are eating same amount of sugar as you eat 20 pounds of sugar beets has and without the beets vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber which makes your body absorb sugar slowly and safely ? No. If you consider these things as healthy you need to educate yourself.5 -

Being a "clean eater" made me the unhealthiest I have ever been in my life, both physically and mentally.
There is more to health than what you put in your mouth.
Variety in a diet is important for micronutritional adequacy.7 -
There is a big difference between simply not being interested in food and being overly obsessed with nutrients. I know a few people like who only eat because they have to, no negative associations or faulty relationship with food, they are just naturally less interested in it and don't care about the type or the variety of food they eat. I assumed this was the case for you where you got heavier than you would rather be from being naturally uninterested in food and grabbing whatever is easiest to reach for to stop being hungry which is why I supported your position with very little judgement to just want to lose the weight with as little thought as possible put into food without completely sacrificing your health. Being overly obsessed with nutrients, pesticides, and whatnot is the opposite of healthy. It creates unnecessary stress on the body, mind, and social relations, all of which are integral to health.1

Yes I have been eating same food everyday for 6 months and will but It doesn't mean that I didn't add different veggies or fruits someday. So do you think you despise me for saying that I have problems to solve ? It is just a dumb manipulation that only children do. And if you search you will see that I am not the only person who eats same thing every day including athletes and celebs, Do you want to know why It is same ? Because I have a balanced healthy diet, I can keep my calories balanced, I do not think in the evening what to cook and eat after the busy day as you do, I do not have sugar crush or food cravings in the middle of my day. No, I do not eat bit of cake because It is a garbage and I have one life and one body to live. Do you want to know who is miserable one ? It is the one who can't control himself/herself and be slave to his/her lust.4 -

No, I am not who you think I am. My goal is not losing weight or putting something to my mouth to stop my hunger. I just use my balanced diet to stay healthy and losing fat is one benefit . And I am not overly obsessed of anything I just select my food before eat which what people should do. And I didn't say that I am not interested in food either I just said my food does't have to be delicious. Does that mean to you I don't like foods ?0 -

We don't know how extreme you were. I do eat variety of fruits and veggies. I do know the importance of micronutrients.0 -
Is there a language barrier? "Is X amount of Y food too much?" and "rate my meal plan" are generally invitations for opinions, not to tell others how superior one's meal plan is.
I am, like the others, worried about the deep incongruity between seemingly no interest in food, taste and eating, and the obsession with nutrients and "chemicals". Your knowledge is based on fear, tidbits, myths. Good health goes way beyond a healthy diet (not to say your diet is healthy in the first place). Google "nutritionism".6 -

I do train and cardio couple of days and do yoga but I don't think we talk about "Good Health" or "Is being healthy all about diet nothing else". Yes everything is created from some chemicals and I do think what I eat as pills and I expected someone to say something like you may add or remove this with a logical explanation. I do have variety but all you say is variety is good and you are obsessive. Saying "average is always better" doesn't mean anything. I do know about nutrition thanks for your advice.0 -

Haha, that's hilarious. Why would you say I despise you? I don't even know you. I neither like or dislike you, I am simply commenting on your food intake. How old are you? I very much doubt that any successful athlete eats exactly the same food every day for six months. As for celebrities, who knows with some of their fad diets, doesn't mean it's a good idea! And cake is not garbage, it's a delicious item that fits perfectly into my calorie allowance, it makes me happy, not miserable, I can control myself perfectly well thank you and am not a "slave to my lust" due to choosing to eat lots of different foods with a variety of nutritional benefits, some good for the body, some for the soul!
Not really sure why you chose to post since you seem to know better than everyone on here. You carry on eating how you like and good luck to you and I shall continue to eat all the delicious food in as wide a variety as I can!5 -
Doing things that make you happy don't mean you're "a slave to your lusts". Being happy and wanting nice things is perfectly okay and is part of the human condition. If you want to explain everything that way, your constant obsession with nutrients makes you feel good about your choices, so you're a slave to your desire to feel you've made superior choices - aka, slave to your desires, too. That's the rabbit hole you jump into with these kinds of statements.7

Not sure if you are agreeing with me or not, can't really tell... If you are agreeing and saying that the best athletes know variety is the best thing to fuel life with, including treats then a big thumbs up to what you are saying. If not, then you've misread what I was saying.

I read it as agreeing, and further validating.
Usain Bolt lived off MacDonald's at one of the Olympics didn't he? (I'm sure he ate it as it was familiar, unlike the cuisine of the country he was in)

So OP asked for people to rate their meal plan and then dismissed and criticized everyone who responded? Cool.
OP, I don't think it's healthy to eat the exact same thing every day for months at a time. I also think eating all those eggs everyday would make me nauseous. So I give your plan 3 out 5 stars.0 -
I have a couple of observations. The foods listed by @oss33 will provide all the protein he wants, provide an excellent ratio of Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids, and provide an abundance of fiber and vitamins A, C, D, and K, for sure. Since he hasn't specifically quantified the variety of his fruits and vegetables, there may be deficiencies of some nutrients as understood by up-to-date science, and it must be noted that current science is still liable to be ignorant of all human nutritional needs.
OP, you can have great confidence that you've assembled a nutritionally excellent eating plan based on the current science using the fewest possible ingredients.
There's no need to assign moral value to that. It is a way of eating just as any other.
You'll need to carefully read all new nutritional publications to stay abreast of current science as it changes. Change is certainly what Science has been doing throughout my life.
FYI, my breakfast smoothie includes fruits, vegetables, and hemp seeds, things I chose for the same reason you did. The point 'we' seem to be making is that there's nothing wrong with my breakfast smoothie for breakfast, but drinking the same smoothie 4 times daily and consuming nothing else, for 6 months, and defending it as morally superior to all others, is peculiar. Not provably harmful, but peculiar.1
