Got a new job in a kitchen as head's chef helper typa stuff and i have access to all the food in there in unlimited quantities basically to an extent of course, so i work 5 days a weeks from 8am to 7pm and on my lunch break i have been having this exact thing for the past 3 weeks since when i get home im dead tierd and dont feel like cooking so i just make this huge meal and eat it at works
The only thing that changes on here is sometimes i either add hummus to my bread and i just swap between the main carb source and its one of the following (pasta,couscous,lentils,rice,quinoa or buckwheat) depends how im feeling
I just prepare all this mix into a huge bowl and eat it like that
So the question still stands, i know everyone says we should eat varieties but i feel like this meal has everything no?
On my off days i definitely eat other veggies n stuff but should i try to change and eat different stuff at work maybe and not just this?

No, it looks great. Variety is important for your gut microbiome. You should aim for at least 30 different plants per week (which includes seasoning). If you get variety in the weekend i don’t see a problem at all. You’re lucky to have access to all that nutritious food at work!
Yes of course, this looks great. Rotating carbs is what I would’ve suggested but you’re already doing that. You could throw in different nuts and veggies occasionally, whatever is seasonal, sweet potato, pumpkin etc. how have you been feeling? Three weeks should give good indication of this meals effects on your body.
You’re going to cook the mushrooms, right?
don’t eat mushrooms raw. but everything else is ok
Seems mostly healthy. Probably a bit more flax than is usually recommended and I would switch to whole grains.
It looks great. Perhaps vary with the dark leafy greens a bit.
I would replaced flax with chia (bit healthier, and not a ton of difference in cost), but that is nitpicking.
How are you hitting that much protein? That’s where I’m struggling the most. Barely get 100g a day
