I think it's better to use portions of food groups rather than specific foods for your diet plan, because variety does 2 things: 1) Keeps you sane; 2) Ensures that you get a better overall nutritional profile. So, it may be more suitable to be a bit generic and go with something like:
Breakfast: 2-3 serves whole grain, 1 serve fruit and 1 serve dairy.
Morning tea: 1 serve fruit and 1 serve nuts.
Lunch: 1 serve meat, 2 serves vegetables (notice I've just upped your vegetable consumption here; I'll also say that it's better to have a different vegetable for each serve than to have 5 carrots a day and nothing else), optional 1 serve grain, optional 1 serve dairy.
Afternoon tea: 1 serve dairy, 1 serve fruit, 1 serve grain or nuts.
Dinner: 1-2 serves meat, 3+ serves vegetables.

When you say healthy- What is your health goal as this sounds ok in terms of the foods but are you looking for something in particular like- weight loss, muscle mass etc?
That's true, what's the goal?
Good thread, I always like them.
