LOVE Mark L's posts nails it everytime. MH all of your posts on diet suggest your some kind of diet expert cos you lost so much weight but tbh when your carrying as much as you were its a simple calorie deficit thats needed quality of calories is far less relevent than it is for an athelete looking for improved performance and a body composition change when they already have an "average" BMI. Just spouting NHS guidelines is useless, the guys who write these things just regurgitate information developed years ago and the economy does have an influence on this. Most of this stuff was written after the war and has only been tweaked slightly since. Find the research that backs it vs the research that supports high protein, high anti-oxidant and healthy fat diets with a smaller level of carb intake and more emphasis on fibrous carbs as opposed to starchy carbs.
