Nutrition is always going to be a challenge for me on a diet. My focus on diets is almost always the calorie math problem. So far at least I haven't had any chronic medical conditions that have required a specific construction of meals (in that I'm very lucky). So without specific concerns related to cholesterol, blood pressure, digestive reactions or anything else I've been largely free to focus on the math problem. I do have a couple minor issues (I try and eat a lot of fiber to head off hemorrhoids for example), but specific nutritional goals have generally escaped me.
Lately I've started taking some multivitamins with fish oil to at least give me a nutrient framework. In particular it helps on those days when the foods I eat are a little lacking (for example, today). I've certainly looked at other meal plans, but the need to make the diet something I want to eat rather than something to suffer through tends to defeat a hunt for the perfect diet. All in all I keep focusing on the long term goal. Hopefully it keeps working out.
