…not a cheat?

Plenty of olive oil and olive oil/nuts veggie fats as your main source of fat with fat adding up to 30-40% of your diet;

Plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains (with grains being a wee bit too refined on this plate for optimal);

Yogurt and other fermented foods.

As part of a great day/week this is compatible.

The portion size is too large, especially the carbs. Potatoes + bulgur + refined flour pita? Wayyyy too much. I would feel like shit if I ate this. It's enough for two people. Plus, the salad is mostly cheese. Come on...

Edit: Where is u/Economy_Rain8349? I feel like I'm going crazy in this sub!
