Don't stress so much over the diet. It is really pretty easy. I've eaten pretty much everything you've mentioned including chicken of all kinds.(I wouldn't eat the liver; Yech!) Most meat is fine as long as it is fresh. Grains, coconut, mayo are all fine. Most of the tyramine reactions are caused by aged chesse. Here is an article you may find interestig. It is dated but MAOIs have been around for almost 50 years.
Don't stress, you'll be fine.
