Help with my diet

[Haste]

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?

[CosmicFish]

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

[Gary]

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

[Cowardly Clyde]

Lacking veggies also, spinach & brocoli.......are good......unless you hate them of course....then they are bad! But still good!

I try to live cheap. I ain't rolling in the dough!

Try some fish instad of chicken once in a while. Shouldn't cost much.
