Tomatoes!

Well, I guess I'm addicted to tomatoes. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, as a snack and for dinner. Anytime :) I love them more than candy or icecream (I don't like sweets too much anyway, but some I do like, and I'd prefer tomatoes over them, too).

From my logs I can see that I eat about 1-1.5 kgs every day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Is that OK, or unhealthy? I know that too much of a good thing can be bad. Any ideas?

Two or three pounds of tomatoes is probably stretching 'too much of a good thing' to a point.  They're healthy & delicious but there are other things you could eat as well.  In any diet it's really important to get a broad a variety of foods as possible.

Yep that last sentence about sums it up.

I do eat a lot of other vegetables / salads, too, ... which means that I eat large quantities of food. Not good.
