I have a dietician-issued food plan, but she really sucks at giving me realistic meal ideas. Help?

She wants me to stay under 1800 calories, but this food plan is so vague for me that I end up just eating whatever.

Here it is:

Breakfast: 2 grain 2 protein 1 fat 1 vegetable 1 fruit 1 dairy

AM Snack: 1 fruit 1 protein

Lunch: 2 grain 2 vegetable 2 protein 1 fat

PM Snack: 1 fruit 1 protein

Dinner: 2 grain 2 vegetable 1 dairy 2 protein 1 fat

Every day I eat an apple with peanut butter as an am or pm snack. It’s my favorite. However, it’s literally the only thing I can stick to. I hate disjointed meals. I’m struggling.

Can someone help me with meal ideas or a meal planish that will help me follow the guidelines and stay in my calories? I’ve asked my dietician multiple times for help and she never suggests anything meaningful or actually within the calories she has mapped out for me.

Thank you.

Sorry for how disjointed this is. I’m desperate. I had a hard night. I have the big sad
