Mixed Martial Arts,Diet,Cross Training and Workout?

Alright first off let me thank you in advance for reading my question.
Ok, I am a 14 year old male, weighing 135 and my height is 5,7-5,9. I’m going to a Martial Art gym to practice Muay Thai and Judo, I would also like to take up Boxing and Brazilian jujitsu and when I begin H.S im going to take up wrestling.
So my main styles consist of Muay Thai,Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu. while my supporting styles are Boxing and Wrestling. I want to know if combing these style’s are affective, and/or too much for me to handle.
I would also like to know what would be a good diet, I would like one that is very tasty,healthy and will keep me full for quite awhile. I would also appreciate if you could give me THREE work outs. One with out weights or equipment,one with weights and equipment and one with a heavy bag,speed bag, sparring gear and a sparring partner.(I’m also go to a gym)
If I train and eat regularly would I be able to get an amature match when I become old enough.
Thank You So much!

    k firstly 14 is grand age
    height and weight can be changed and you are near my height and im 16/17

    you are doing WAY to many just an eg BJJ has enough to learn to keep you going for 5years minimum same with judo but to about 3-4 years. (obviously you can never reach a peak with martial art you can always learn thats the beauty of it)

    i wouln’t reccomend cross training if you are going to do MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) see the problem is though they only teach basics of each style and you don’t learn the philosophical/history of the art (its important at first i thought not but it does help every day life)

    by learning all at once you will get SO confused and mess up everything and just its not worth it trust me

    a good diet simple avoid white bread eat fruit/veg eat a good breakfast a snack dinner and have something before bed so an eg
    10-11 bfast
    2-3 lunch
    6-7 dinner
    8.30 snack
    10-12 bed

    eat bulky foods like brown bread and fruit to avoid sugar craving (google foods for better info then me)

    eh just go to gym talk to a trainer tell him your story easy for weights
    2)improve your knuckles for striking first learn to punch properly though
    3) get the basics in the bag to the point where you can do them easy enough and then apply with a partner to just get used to attacking a live person

    and lastly yes if you train 3 times a week even for 10 mins just going over patterns or light spar with a partner it all helps.
    you have plenty of time to grow and mature in martial arts so take your time and do it right

    better doing it right and be patient by having it proper in 4 years then doing it wrong and being impatient in 1 year

    overall search for a good club (not a mcdojo)
    practice
    spar and get patterns etc right
    do 2 MAX
    and never give up

    and avoid a fight at all costs its the first thing you will learn
    at first i was like deadly i will know how to kick as* but now that instinct is gone.
    if somebody disrespects me its in one ear out the other and if they go for me their mistake
