just looks like slop covered in different creams and sauces. Not a big cream, cheese, and sauce guy at all so I’d pass on this

How do you know that meal is high in saturated fat and sodium
It might be high in sodium but you can't tell that from looking. And since there's no red meat it's probably not high in saturated fat. If anything the carbs are probably the biggest issue. You're just being self-righteous to be honest, there's nothing inherently bad about potatoes, chicken, and shrimp.
See...I knew you were just talking to talk...
The fish is deep fat fried.
The baked potato has sour cream, cheese and bacon
and the sauce is made of HEAVY CREAM.
The broccoli has has cheese, and probably butter in it
ALL THOSE ITEMS ARE HIGH IN SATURATED FAT.
Now go sit your ass down somewhere.
It may be better to explain it this way:
You have the raw product fresh out the ground/ off the tree, anything you do to it is a process; boil, steamed, fried, blended, blanched, baked whatever. That’s a stage 1 process. Canned or frozen is a storage/ preservation method not a processing method.
If you then take that same ingredient then, boil, steam, fry stuff it into something else, coat in bread crumbs, add any other ingredients etc is a stage 2 process and so on and so forth. The further you get away from the raw natural ingredient is a higher and higher process.
Something like frankfurters for example is so far away from the original ingredient it is completely unrecognisable to the original product, it’s not a shoulder, breast, wing, thigh, snout, tail, hoof it isn’t even the same animal. That’s the highest level of processing.
So that broccoli and rice with cheese,
The rice is processed because it was dried, the husk and germ removed, then if it’s from a packet like minute rice etc and other ingredients pre packaged rice it has been processed through; pre cooking then dehydrating, or seasoning, pre cooking adding a preservative and vacuum sealing
That fish fillet was probably frozen, and defrosted, then seasoned breaded and deep fried if done at home.
Prawns were probably also frozen and defrosted, even if you bought them fresh in a store they were frozen for shipment
The least processed item on the plate is the potato.
That broccoli doesn’t even count as a vegetable at this point.
That’s why items are so expensive it has been processed in different ways before you even get it.
Grated cheese is the worst,
It is grated, coating in an anti caking agent, vacuum sealed then sold at a higher price to the end user. It would have been cheaper to buy the cheese and grate it yourself.
Rule of thumb; if you can’t tell the oh ingredient it’s been processed. If you can’t avoid processed items, try and limit them. Make things from scratch as much as you can. It’s a mentality thing and lack of education that causes the obesity crisis the west is experiencing.
Just because you poured a bunch of stuff from a can and packets and put them together doesn’t mean it’s from scratch if it’s already been processed before you get it.

That's not the argument. This is why you see guys who do OMAD eat stuff like Steak, and Fattier cuts of chicken to break their fast, because they are much more nutrient dense than fish. Not only that someone doing OMAD is going to have a literal produce farm on their plate. The point of OMAD is to pack as many nutrient dense, and quality foods into one meal...

And how do you know the fish is deep fat fried? Or what the sauce is made of? Or the broccoli has butter? None of that is apparent from the picture.
Unless they send you nutrition facts you're just talking to talk
but if you want to be a food snob do you 
If you can’t eat a meal consistently and it still be good for you, then it’s not healthy. If you eat that meal twice a day for a couple months, you’ll gain 15-30 pounds and you’ll have terrible numbers at the doctor.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that meal had over 1000 calories with all that dairy/oil in it.

So by this standard the healthiest way to consume is a raw food diet?

Because I have eyes, and can literally see the greasy ass coating on the fish. That's basic packaged broccoli and cheese...It requires butter to prepare it. That's a cream sauce...which is usually made out of HEAVY CREAM. You're just arguing to pass time and don't have the slightest clue of what you're talking about.And how do you know the fish is deep fat fried? Or what the sauce is made of?

Cheese and bacon is high in sodium and trans fats, and thats just the beginning. A meal like this is easily 1800 calories.
Some form of activity that's causing your heart rate to increase. I personally hit the gym three days a week and eat three meals a day. Not necessarily what's in the picture, but it's not going to kill you, particularly if you're not just sedentary day in and day out not burning off what you're eating. That's what be getting people out here.
That's not to say just because you're exercising and things that you can eat McDonald's three times a day or whatever. Everything has to be in moderation and within reason.
The picture in the OP is just a singe meal. No real context as to what the person activity level is like or what else they eat within the day. And I personally doubt whoever took that picture is really putting all that down in one sitting. It's quite a bit.

Bro fatty steak and chicken are essentially substituted with the diary. All are essentially saturated fats at the end of the day. If you added a green smoothie of blended leafy green vegetables you have the perfect OMAD meal.
