What to have for lunch ?

By consuming the daily requirement, but using exercise to create a caloric surplus, one can achieve weight loss.
Along the way, loss of weight will reduce the BMR, and also metabolism and appetite.
While cardio might be the simplest and easiest form of exercise, weight training can build muscles which increase the BMR. This needs higher protein consumption
Yoga can heal or improve ligament strength, and can also trigger homeostasis, eliminating biological urges during the time that follows the session.
So can one simply eat 1.411 kilos of short grain cooked rice daily to meet the requirement ?
No, that's not enough. We need some of the calories to come from carbohydrates, some from fat and some from proteins.
And we haven't touched upon the topic of minerals , vitamins, and fibre.
Also, monoculture is not your friend, as eating the same diet will blow up any small nutrient deficiencies into disastrously larger ones, at which point you might need intervention in the form of, say, a B12 injection, or large enough diet change to throw off your calculations.
There are also essential nutrients which are found only in certain foods, or have to be supplemented using man-made product.
SCD, and the Taoist diet asks you to avoid grains. Some vegetables are not SCD OK.
Yoga asks you to avoid meat, and preferably spiced, oily foods .
Keto needs you to avoid carbohydrates.
Diabetes avoidance needs you to avoid processed foods, and any with high glycemic index. This includes Ragi.
We will leave vegans alone for now.
It is generally considered good practice to eat fixed meals at fixed times.
Replacing cigarettes in the chain-smoking habit with tea or coffee is also not good.
Some people went without sugar for a month and reported higher levels of energy and mental sharpness.

Relax is underrated. There's a reason the Buddha is seen at every spa or massage parlor.
