That's basically my diet lately. I just hodgepodge things together that are within my calories and macros and eat them. My diet consists mostly of whole foods and vegetables so I don't really end up lacking in any vitamins or minerals. Really haven't been hungry despite the low calories, I feel like I am eating a lot of food just due to the frequent meals. I find eating more in the morning helps me stay full all day and I have less desire to eat more in the afternoon/evening then. I am always hungry in the morning so this works best for me for sure.
Other times i have eaten my first 3 meals before 12:30 or so, then I just skip meal 4 and eat an extra big meal 5. I am then very full after meal 5, but it is a nice mental break to feel like I ate a big meal.
