    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.

    Agree with above poster...

    Why are you so restrictive in your diet?

    Agree with pauli. Plus one staring omission is that your diet is very low in fats (which is bad).

    It seems very low in fats and protein! Plus getting all your amino acids from one source of protein is never a good idea.
