Here is what I eat; Brown Long Grain Rice, Chicken, Peas, Raw Carrots, Bananas, Apples, Cheese sauce (for a rice hot dish). Now, what am I missing? Or is this a complete diet that is fine? P.S.- When I said "Here is what I eat", I mean LITERALLY. As in that's all. -Haste
It seems very low in fats and protein! Plus getting all your amino acids from one source of protein is never a good idea.
Lacking veggies also, spinach & brocoli.......are good......unless you hate them of course....then they are bad! But still good!
