1. No, the only "bad" thing that might possibly come out of eating salmon is excessive mercury, but compared to eating french fries or a high saturated fat protien source, I'd say the salmon is the right choice.

2. White rice, or any other refined grain is BAD. Always opt for the least processed version you can get, in this case brown rice. It has a lower GI index, more vitamins and minerals, in short it is a balanced food.

3. Skim milk is a good food source and generally you can consume any quantity without any problem. The only possible problem is any added hormones that might have been fed to the cows to increase their milk production, specifically estrogen and some growth hormones or steroids. Try to find organic milk if possible. If not limit the intake to a few 8 oz servings per day or less.

4. whole grain bread is OK in any qauntity as long as you are maintianing your daily macronutrient ratios.

5. not unless you eat more calories than you consume or you completely ruin your macronutrient ratios.
