Healthy Eating

[Phil]

Do you eat healthy?

Since I've gotten back to college two weeks ago I've been trying to eat a bit healthier so I have had no junk food or fizzy drinks. If you are healthy what sort of breakfast, lunches and dinners do you tend to make? I often find myself just making salads and if I want to snack I have a bit of fruit.

Just interested to see what everyone else eats while keeping health in mind.

on and off, depends when I'm training and stuff

I'm a super fussy eater and don't eat any vegetables at all, so eating clean for me is really hard!

usually however:
breakfast - porridge and green tea
lunch: 2 fruit (usually banana and apple) or cashew nuts, with water
dinner: 2 lean chicken breasts with calorie and sugar free BBQ sauce (http://www.musclefood.com/walden-farms-original-bbq-sauce.html)
post workout: protein shake

any snacks in between will be either banana and apple or cashew nuts

When I'm eating healthy I have oats, plain yoghurt with a bit of honey and berries for breakfast.

A salad with chicken for lunch and then some sort of meat and veg for dinner.

Snacks tend to be blueberries or peppers I stay away from carbs. Then a once a week treat of a panini.

um i just try to eat everything in moderation. i try to have fruit, veg and nuts with every meal e.g an apple with breakfast, nuts with dinner then as much veg as i can with my tea but it's kinda hard to stick with moderation when you're trying to gain weight!!

ive never heard the phrase "mm this salad is so delicious" so why do people eat crusty leaves and call it a meal :/. i eat salad wit some things like jacket potato just 2 fill up the plate and add some texture but i wouldnt eat it on its own.

i eat lots of pears too

[scottish]

from salad I only really like tomatoes and peppers tbh

tomatoes only on a sandwich and peppers alone tbh

i eat tangerines

[Absently]

not really, i used to try but i can't really be bothered anymore. when i get in from work it's half 10, so i normally have my dinner and fill up on crap and goto bed

Yes I'd say it's fairly easily, especially when I live away from my parents. Fizzy drinks have just naturally been removed from my diet as I have no desire to drink them, and I can easily control what I buy in shop. I also don't like to waste money, so I plan my meals up to a week in advance. I'll admit it's been pretty bad the last few days, but that's because I'm not one to turn down free pizza, sweets etc. but come next week my diet will be back to standard. Don't get me wrong, I don't eat amazingly well, just better than average I would say.

ok but recently i have had mcdonalds like 3 times in 2 weeks!!!!!! i can't wait to go uni and do my own shopping whenever my mum does it she might buy pointless unhealthy crap we don't want or need

I used to be really unhealthy and only drink coke, but now I've found a fizzy flavoured water i like. I guess it's only slightly better though.

In terms of food though I'm sooo bad, my mums never home to cook me dinner so I have to either make it myself (which I'm too lazy to do), have a ready meal or eat junky snacks for tea..

At the moment my diet hasn't affected me in terms of weight but it's only a matter of time until it does

I live off mcdonalds & Fanta.
Like close to 5 maccies a week & 2-3 500ml Fanta a day.
I still weigh 9 stone & can't put weight on as hard as I try :L

[Yawn]

i LOVE doing my own shopping and eating healthy

but im always hungry if im eating healthy and rly clean
nothing seems to fill me :'(

My diet is horrific.

When I eat the majority of the time it's healthy, but I only eat when I'm hungry which doesn't happen very often - so I miss out a lot of nutrition.
