I will be moving to a new city and I need to take care of my health. I won’t have a full apartment since they come at a premium and it’s just a huge pain to find one. So while at home I have been thinking of meals that would require the least amount of effort to prep which are still good for me. So far I have this:

eggs. Boiled/omelette/fried egg rice perhaps. (I do crave chicken about once a week so a good chicken meal here and there when eating out)
oats with non dairy milk, peanut butter, mixed dried fruits, nuts, and seeds, cinnamon etc. Basically variations on this. My choice of fruit, berries, dried stuff, nuts, seeds, flavouring etc.
greek yoghurt bowls similar to oats above with mostly a fruit or 2 and my choice of flavouring
some sort of bean, chickpea, lentil salad/stir-fry with stuff like onions, tomatoes, capsicum, cabbage, and basically few other veggies I can find which are easy to eat raw or stir fry.(for more variety and cheat days, I can always replace the beans and lentils with pasta or noodles or even taco shells or make a nice sandwich or burger with some frozen patties)

So while this does look good to me, i just want to make sure that I am not missing something super obvious in terms of a balanced diet. Like if I follow this, about 80% of the time, I should be fine right? I have tried all these meals and they are very filling, tasty, and easy to make for me with lots of potential for variations so I am happy with this. Added benefits include that since I started testing these meals, no more acid reflux which has been a problem of mine for years. Just wanted some educated opinions on what I think is a decent set of meals for a healthy lifestyle atleast for a start. As I get bored of stuff, I will change, add, and remove stuff.

I get that whey is better than BCAA because it’s already included in the packaging, but could I forgo the nastiness of whey and get EAA instead? Or is it absolutely necessary to have whey for mor efficient gains?

What about clear whey isolates like Seeq or MyProtein? I’m trying to do what’s best for me without buying “scams”, or things that are redundant or unnecessary
