My NUT says that variety is GREAT as long as it follows the requirements of the 2 P's: 1. Protein 2. Produce If there is any room left after, fruit. Keep carbs LOW. That's what I've been told. I think I will probably eat the same breakfast every morning (or drink). I like protein shakes. I am going to find variety for breakfast and supper, but will probably keep very routing for breakfast and snacks.
