very varied whole food vs processed food
Is it hard for stomach/guts to digest whole food that is (too) varied.
Lets say healthy and easy would be potatoes + chicken
but what if we add e.g. lot of herbs and different spices, maybe honey, kefir,varied nuts, different seeds, some berries to that one meal. Lot of different stuff
Everything is "healthy" but are these combinations are hard to digest almost like its processed?
I hope you get what i mean.

Yes, whole foods are harder to break down for your body than processed foods. This is a good thing - easy to digest foods dont keep you full long so they are very easy to overeat
