It can be a lot easier if you focus on longer periods, eating healthy over 2 days is much less effort than trying to pick ideal meals you could have unlimited quantities of.

Try unusual things regularly. If you find yourself really enjoying the taste of something odd, it's probably because your missing out on a nutrient it has.

EX: If you eat animals don't just eat fat and meat, liver pate for example can be a really good dip.

As delicious as it is, you really shouldn't have liver regularly because it has very high amounts of Vitamin A, which is toxic. Liver from certain animals, like Polar Bears, has enough Vitamin A to kill you in a single meal.

Carnivorous livers such as polar bears' have dangerous levels. Omnivore/herbivore livers aren't very dangerous at all, you'd have to eat many many kilograms in a single setting to approach acute toxicity. Or eat like a pound a week for perhaps months to years.
