I'm going to make a scheduled meal plan and follow it every week/month. I want to know if you think I should add or remove anything. I want to know if anyone can recommend a healthy high fiber cereal and just let me know what you think of the list in general.

Food list

    Any raw sushi because I love it :-P. I am going to remove that from the list shown above. You are right it is a little to general I will choose what kind when I'm making it or buying it.

    looks good to me, may I ask why you are choosing low fat options? Is it because you don't want "bad" fats, if so, the fats found in dairy are actually good for you, and I found when getting low fat stuff, they jack up the sugar/salt content.
    Other than that, looks good :)

    Do you not eat eggs?

    Looks like a great selection of food - with the possible exception of the V8 juice. You'd be better eating the veggies themselves.
    If I had to add something it would probably be olive oil (good fats), almond butter (because it's delicious!), grainy bread (because I like it), natural yoghurt (makes great dressing and topping for meals as well as a snack) and a wide variety of fruit and veg.
    Chick peas and lentils are great too - if you like them.
    And now I think about it, I would probably also add some tinned tomatoes and frozen veg and berries - just for convenience.

    Rubybelle said all I was thinking when I read your list - although I thought of chicken breast and fresh fish to (salmon or cod are good choices and simple to cook).

    I also like having something healthy in my kitchen to munch on if i do get the munchies - like some selection of unsalted nuts or seeds.

    Chia seeds are very good for you and can be added to any smoothie or home made bread or porridge or whatever.

    And finally, as for cereal - Cheerios and Weetabix would probably me my picks for a quick solution. I mostly eat oats though - either cooked or not, with some skimmed milk, maybe a half a banana and a few gojis on top. And some cinnamon, both for the taste and for the bloodsugar control of the day.
