In the past I also practiced macrobiotic nutrition. Apparently now the eater is even divided into vegans who reject any intake of food of animal origin, even eggs, milk and consequently all secondary food items like yogurts, pasta etc.
They eat only sprouts, fruit, vegetables and all that even uncooked. There is a sea of books on "healthy" nutrition and theories, foreign and ours and with that different interpretations that quite confuse the user and put him on completely opposite edges of the abyss. One of the books is also by Dr. Susman, a Slovene, who promotes seitan from wheat gluten as protein in counterweight to meat propaganda.
My experience after all this is that there is no written rule that would condition a person with calculated instant meals. If we look at the Chinese division of man into three most common diverse types (constitutions) originating from birth on vata, pitta and kapha basic properties, then we understand that every person is an individual with different feeding requirements and thus characteristic digestion only for himself.
Secondly it holds that food itself does not substantially influence the spiritual level of the individual, as if someone ate only plant food and built his spiritual level with that. For example onion really lowers spiritual energy to the lowest first basic chakra, partly also meat (less game), but onion also has a very protective antiseptic function like disinfection, for vessels, digestion, similar to aspirin. Meat however only acts well on passive untrue (true awake) spiritual state of man, grounds and activates him.
So all food acts in the sense of yin-yang, which interweaves everywhere in the nature of creation. Yang (higher chakras) is more in nuts, rice, legumes, asparagus, lotus root, figs, raisins, forest strawberries, cherries, blackcurrants, algae, crayfish, snails, barley, corn flour, millet, soy flour, venison, freshwater fish, sea fish, sugar cane, ginseng tea, elderberry tea, mint, tahebo tea, basil. Yin however in predominantly vegetables, bread, other fruit, wheat, pork, beef and veal meat, cow milk, cheeses, yogurts, butter, chocolate, water, ground paprika, celery, pepper, most other spices are yang origin (activity). This means that yin nutrition just like yang has equivalent spiritual properties on man and balances him, depending on the current state of man and his essence (one of three) from birth. We ourselves must then feel what will currently help us to better balance of spirit - our inner instinct about food choice, which itself actually with only a small percentage influences the spiritual fine essence of spirit and chakras of man. More for balancing the essential subtle body man can do with correct pure thinking or little of it (wasting energy through senses), correct and just attitude to life and fellow men, drawing spiritual food from nature (water, fire, earth, air, ether, metal), calming and harmony of spirit with help of meditation.
One still most original and real master wrote a book on slimming not based on diets and recipes, but said that the key to obesity is hidden in the subtle spiritual body. Namely, when with meditation we remove blockages in frustrations (anger, personal dissatisfaction, lack of closeness of friend, disappointment, traumas...) on mental (mental) and astral level, consequently the true natural sense for nutrition is also re-established and then you will eat only as much as the body actually needs just for its own existence.
So eat food that intuitively attracts you, that will be the right one.
