Everyone say a lot is bad for you. What tends to be true is that too much of anything is bad for you and not eating enough of the good stuff is bad for you. Eating the same shit every day is bad for you. Getting a balanced diet is good for you. balance meaning different nutrients sources and a balance of macros.

People in Asia eat a lot of rice but also eat a lot of whole, unprocessed lean foods in overall much smaller portion sizes. You can't point to a single part of their diet that explains why say Japanese people are so thing and healthy. You have to look at the picture as a whole.

This is why nutritional documentaries are such horseshit. You can paint any story you like if you single out a particular food type. This is why we bounce around from "fats are bad" to "carbs are bad" to "sugars are bad" so frequently.

To address the question, eating that much of the same thing every day might just mean you're not getting a balanced and sufficiently mixed diet. It also means you'd have a pretty high level of carbs, and getting in enough protein would be a bit challenging. But I'm sure it could be done.
