To think it is so difficult to eat healthy?

I have been trying to eat healthy since leaving home 7 years ago, but I am finding it impossible.

For example when living at home I used to eat for breakfast coco pops with full fat milk, white toast with butter and a cup of hot Blackcurrant squash. That was my breaskast from a toddler up until the age of 25!! when left home I started to eat 2 slices of wholemeal toast with sunflower spread and a glass of pure apple juice. About a year ago I discovered bread was "bad" and the same with juice. So I changed to porridge with raisins and a herbal tea. Now apparently raisins have bad sugar and cows milk is not great. So am now eating porridge with soya milk and fresh berries. Now hsve seen porridge is not great as it is not natural for humans. Dame with soya milk it's not a natural product. Do I have to eat veg for breakfast to be healthy????

Breakfast: protein shake with soya milk, two egg whites cooked in 1 calorie olive oil spray occasionally add some cooked salmon

Lunch: salmon cooked or mackerel tin or cooked chicken or any other protein food with salad or hummus with carrot sticks

Dinner: stir fry chicken or seafood or fish or lean meat with kale/ other veg spices plus add some quinoa or lentils

Snacks: controlled number of nuts, plain yogurt, controlled number of fruits

Drinks: water with squash

This is what I eat when I'm trying to lose weight lost about 2 stone doing this yes it's boring but it works I occasionally will have coffee or supplements just before I use gym. Exercise for me is HIT at Bootcamp 30mins 5 x week and running
