Hi,

    Why so much protein and no vegetables? Or is fusilli a vegetable thing? It's not familiar to me.

    That's about double the protein I eat at that calorie level, and I eat a lot of vegetables too.

    Your diet is just what you eat. You meal plan in order to get in good nutrition and food you like, at times that fits in with your schedule. You need a range of nutrients every day, and you probably want balance and variety, so can eat anything you like. I too think the protein number is high, and fat is low, and mum tells you to eat your vegetables.

    Fusilli is a spiral-shaped pasta, although these sound like they're lentil-based, rather than wheat-based, or possibly a mix of regular wheat pasta and lentils. But yeah, overall, not much veg there.

    I'm no expert in nutrition, but my two cents: your dinner is a protein based food near to another protein based food. Usually on planning a meal I plan it around one item, that is usually either carb based or protein based. So if I'm building around prontein I will add vegetables, some fat (condiments) and maybe some carbs (such as bread), but not combine two food with the same nutritional values. A balanced diet is varied, usually. You'll need carbs, protein and fats, yes, but also fibers and vitamins, which are in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and for example there are different vitamins in different vegetables, so eating different kinds is good for general health.

    You're not going to eat that every day... right? I can't imagine that would work long term.

    More veggies, don't need as much protein, and 61g of fat is a bit low for 2200 calories.

    Also, your entries are not specific enough. What size of eggs? Is the chicken cooked or not?
