People are different. Different people need to eat a different diet.
Personaly I need high protien, carbs from corn, plenty of fruit in the
evening.
You seem to need a lot of carbs in general but a lot from grains, and lower
protien.
My wife doesn't feel right unless she get's rice. She eats wheat and it does
nothing for her but produce fat. So she never get's full, but puts on weight
if she tries to get her carbs from wheat. Rice and she feels full and
healthy.
The worse thing anyone can do is look at the "average" diet and try to eat
what they are told. The "pyramid" just doesn't work for everyone.
