Hey guys, so what would be the minimal diet necessary for life? It's what I want to do to lose weight. So far I have:
>chicken for essential amino acids
>eggs and flax seed for essential fats
>mult-vitamin for trace nutrients
Is that it? Anything I'm missing?
See:

>the RDAs can be met with a nine foods (liver, sardines, eggs, whole milk, sunflower seeds, oats, cocoa, spinach and broccoli).
>It's what I want to do to lose weight
Don't be an idiot. Going well below your TDEE will still fuck with you even if you get what is considered the minimum nutrition.
Basically, your body needs protein, fats, carbohydrates, and multiple different vitamins. You body does not give two fucks about where this comes from, as long as you're getting it.
You can get your protein from chicken, fats from almonds, and carbohyrdates from brown rice. For the vitamins you can simply take a multivitamin. Make sure to drink plenty of water (around a gallon a day).
Since the foods I listed are all very high in content of the stuff they provide, I recommend doing this:
- 40% of your daily caloric intake should come from chicken.
- 40% of your daily caloric intake should come from brown rice.
- 20% of your daily caloric intake should come from almonds.

A better (but more complicated) setup would probably be:
- 20% of your daily caloric intake should come from chicken.
- 20% of your daily caloric intake should come from beans.
- 20% of your daily caloric intake should come from brown rice.
- 20% of your daily caloric intake should come from oats.
- 10% of your daily caloric intake should come from almonds.
- 10% of your daily caloric intake should come from peanuts.
- Drink a gallon of water a day.
- Take 1 multivitamin a day.
