That doesn't sound bad. I think it possible to go overboard on dietary strictness. The main thing that I notice as a problem is over complication. Years ago, in my late 20s, I read Herbert Shelton's book on food combining and tried to practice it. Indigestion went way down, health went up. When I'd go home for Thanksgiving dinner, hard to say no to Mom and the family, I would eat a bunch of stuff topped by pie and ice cream. That night I would notice hellacious stink in my arm pits. Supposedly the by products of food putrifying inwardly from bad combinations hampering digestion will be expelled, in part through the lymph system.

One thing I'm looking at more and more is the Omega 3 vs Omega 6 thing. One nutritionist, Mark Hyman, got me off peanut butter. Claims it's not a good staple item. Has a really high 6 to 3 ratio. Almond butter much better, if more spendy, Most foods are higher in 6, supposedly one should try to keep the ratio fairly low. Sardines are really good for that. Also the seaweed snack thingies (Korean style) are becoming more and more popular, also high in 3s.
