Breh If you believe your body processes meat, and dairy the same way, then I don't know what else to tell you.
Facebook is debating on whether or not this is a healthy meal

Do you cook?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 talkbut if you want to be a food snob do you
You can make reasonable assumptions if you’ve made this stuff before.
The fish doesn’t look fried to me. It looks baked, but the color looks like some sort of oil or fat was used to cook it. Otherwise, there’s a crap load of seasoning on it to give it that color. The sauce on top of it could only be made that consistency and color with cream/butter or cornstarch/flour. The sour cream and cheese on the potato is obvious. There is at least cheese in the broccoli, but if it was made in the same pot/pan (like it normally is) that type of rice is usually cooked/simmered with water and butter/oil. See foods like rice a roni. And it’s probably processed cheese sauce.
Furthermore there are three servings of carbs on the plate. Potatoes, cheesy rice and the rice under the fish and shrimp. Just that amount of rice without the cheese and sauces would probably be about 300-400 calories. I know because sometimes I eat prepackaged steamed rice and I pay close attention to the calories. And then there’s another close to 200 calories in just the baked potato and butter without the sour cream and cheese. You’re looking at pretty much a full meal of just starches. That’s before you add the cheese in the rice, the shrimp, the fish and the sour cream and cheese on the potato.
It’s not a healthy meal because there is no balance as it’s too starch and fat heavy. Remove the cheesy broccoli rice and just add some steamed green vegetables. Remove the sour cream and cheese from the potato. Eat the fish OR the shrimp (even with sauce). Then it’s a probably a healthy meal
All the sauces, creams, and extra shyt just killed any “healthy” part about it…
No the healthiest way is to make food yourself. Make your marinara sauce, make your own sour cream it’s only heavy cream and lemon juice, make your own butter milk once again milk and lemon juice some of these aren’t hard but you are conditioned to think these things have to be bought because if consumerism. It’s all to sell sell sell from the bottom all the way up and you have zero control of the salt and sugar levels in anything.
I made condensed milk the other day it was reduced milk and sugar that’s it instead of spending x amount of money in the shops.
Cook with your children, my little cousin is 10 and made a cake for the first time with me last year, he’s eaten cake so many times and never made it. He didn’t even know you could lick the bowl, brute walked off after we were done mixing. It brings him a lot of joy when he can put the raw ingredients together and it turns into a meal, he’s not a chicken nuggets kind of kid, he doesn’t consider it a meal because he knows it’s not real food. Break the cycle with your kids, take the time to teach them and you yourself can learn as you go along, they will remember it forever. No one is telling you to be an expert either.
Lol didn’t mean to turn this post into a rant about consumerism. But you get where I’m going.

This the type of food that will have you gulping down water/soda after every bite cause of the crazy sodium.
And that broccoli was cooked to death.

NOPE
Too much starch and sodium.
Get rid of the potato and cut back on the Lowry's and it's ok.

It’s drenched in cream and butter, plus 2 sides of rice, and a potato which are starches and carbs.

FACTS!!!!!
I make the majority of the things I eat.
Got a Bread Machine, a Tortilla Press, Stand Mixer, Food Processor etc...
I also make sauces from scratch, and no longer eat "Fast Food".
Making food from scratch, you can CONTROL the shyt that goes in it, Sodium, Carbs, Fiber etc...
Exactly the fact that people don’t realise this is unhealthy, is the issue. If a dish is beige when it doesn’t have to be it lacks anti oxidant and nutrients.

It's unhealthy for most people. Most people don't have the metabolism or active lifestyle to burn that off and make use of the calories, so it would just become fat and then sugar which obviously is not desired.

VOTE!!!
My body hurts lookin at all that starch
What’s next ngga you touch starved?
If someone actually wanted to convert to a healthy lifestyle the teaching moment would be:
Throw away the cheesy rice.
Get the broccoli and mix it in with the other rice…brown rice
Toss the potato toppings, sub the baked potato for a sweet potato.
Cut way down on thr sauce
You’d still have a bomb ass meal. Black folk just got years of ‘food trauma’ and now spending too much time on these hood chef IG’s
You're right, but let's be real breh, the overwhelming majority of the people who post plates online used premade seasoning blends that are in sodium.
But to take the bait from the OP, nah, this ain't healthy. Way too much dairy with the cream and cheese sauces, along with the butter and sour cream in the baked potato, super heavy on the starches with a baked potato and rice (assuming the upper right corner is just cheesy broccoli, not cheesy rice with broccoli), likely too much sodium, considering there's bacon in the baked potato, the extra salt needed to season the sauces, and whatever was used on the fish filets and shrimp. And on top of that, the plate probably doesn't need two filets, AND shrimp.
