Oh, kill me now. If I choose veggies only because I do love them esp grilled peppers and onions, after a couple days I want to gnaw on my arm. I know I probably won't make it past 4 days

Meat only
Vegetables only ?
Fruit only
Cereal/grains only
Fish only
Eggs only

Today is Tell An Old Joke Day. What’s the oldest joke you know? I'm not so sure this is a joke but my brother used to go around asking if his unsuspecting punching bags at the time wanted a Hertz donut.
The glutton and curiosity got the better of us when we replied in the affirmative. After the punch to the arm or leg, he'd then ask, "hurts, don't it?"

McDonalds - Sunday morning - a sausage biscuit and that icy cherry drink that's like a slurpee to eat and drink at the Lake where I planned to review my bird/critter photos taken earlier in the morning and die of the heat/humidity.

Sent one the day after my wedding to thank the parents. It's the only one I ever sent. Never received one.

Uh-oh. I don't remember jokes. Let's see if I can ruin this one. You will only get it if you are old like me.

Once there was a minor league baseball pitcher in Wisconsin named Mel Fayme. He was a decent pitcher in his day but he was on his way down and he knew it. The fastball was just not there anymore. Mel's team was the visiting team at one crucial game in the playoff series. When he would go into the dugout after he pitched an inning Mel would drink beer and stack the cans like a pyramid in front of the dugout.

The score was tied in the 9th inning and Mel was pretty drunk but the manager had no one in the bullpen that he could put in the game so it was Mel or nobody. The first batter got a single, then he walked two more batters to load the bases. His teammates were screaming words of encouragement but Mel was practically falling off the pitcher's mound. "Ball One," screamed the umpire. The crowd who was rooting for the other team roared their approval. "Ball Two!" "Ball Three!" yelled the umpire. Mel then managed two strikes. There was hope. The manager and catcher went out to talk to Mel. Mel told them he could use another beer. But he pulled himself together, spit a little, scratched himself and waited for the sign from his catcher. He stared at the batter with determination and a burning hate in his eyes. The crowd held its breath. Mel reared back and threw the hardest fast ball he could...and it sailed right over the batter's head and into the stands for Ball Four. The player on third skipped to home plate and the home team ran on the field to hug and kiss each other (which is apparently what ballplayers do when they win) . As the winning team was coming off the field one of the winning players pointed to the cans in front of the dugout and said, "That's the beer that made Mel Fayme walk us."

See, this is why I am not a comedian.

Cereal / grains. I need fiber. Vegetables would be a close second. Fruit third.

I would not consider the other choices, nutrition or not.
