I am starting a one big meal a day schedule. My day consists of drking cold pressed juices and raw fruits and vegetables as snacks as necessary. I'm looking for ideas on the one big meal a day that will give me the necessary nutrients that the body needs. Ideas please 🙏

    Dr Paul Berryman, chief of Leatherhead Food Research, critically assessed over 4,000 health claims in search of the healthiest way to eat. He distilled them down to a credible 222, then created a three-course meal that packed in all of the nutrition you need.

    So what is the "world's healthiest" three-course supper?

    To start, Dr. Berryman presents a salmon terrine paired with a vibrant mixed leaf salad dressed in extra-virgin olive oil.
    For the main course, Dr. Beryman says a hearty chicken and lentil casserole is the way to go. He accompanies it with an array of mixed veggies, and rather than the traditional potatoes or rice, it's served with a high-fibre multigrain roll.

    And the nutritious meal even includes a dessert – a creamy yoghurt blancmange topped lavishly with walnuts and drizzled with a healthy sugar-free caramel sauce.

    While I don't actually disagree with his meal plan, it's not bad and probably better than 90% of what people in developing nations eat but his evidence is actually not based in real science but observational data, so basically opinion. Like I said people could do a lot worse and his meal plan is a decent one. When someone claims "worlds healthiest meal" standards need to be met, which were not, it's all I'm saying. :)

    I don't think it is very healthy to drink lot of fruit juices! It elevates your blood sugar. It's like using it's sugar to pull you along. Like using pop instead of eating right. When juicing include the whole item to get the fiber. Also, I don't think you can get all the nutrients you need in one meal. Will just set up a deficiency.

    @neanderthin - agreed:)
    i think a healthy, varied diet is best, but if i were to do one meal per day it would probably be something like that meal. Fish, beans, and greens based for the most part.

    I’ve been doing OMAD for a while now, and I’ve never really followed a set meal plan for it. Usually, I just eat whatever my husband cooks, adjusting the portion size to fit my calorie goals.

    Since my daily calorie needs are pretty low, it’s actually easy to fit everything into one meal, though I do have to watch out not to go over. If you’re unsure where to start, figuring out how many calories you need is key. From there, you can use MFP’s generic macros as a baseline to help guide you.

    The real trick is to focus on balanced foods that you genuinely enjoy. If your meal feels satisfying and fits your calorie target, it’s so much easier to stick to OMAD long term. Start simple, keep it tasty, and adjust as you go, it’s all about finding what works for you.
