Eating the right foods daily
« on: January 18, 2015, 05:40:16 am »
Do you think you eat a balanced meal daily, including all of your fruits and veggies for the day?

I will be the first to say that i need to improve my fruit & veggie intake. I unfortunately love my carbs and
sugar.🍕🍤🍰🍇🍒🍫

I don't eat well, doesn't seem like there is enough time.

I love to eat all kinds of foods, both healthy and non. What I have a problem with is portion control. Some of my favorite foods are vegetables, sweetcorn, mash potato, brussel sprouts however I have a problem sticking to one bowl of anything! Admittedly, when I have a baked potato, I can't pass up a heaping of butter also!

For the most part I do.  Couple years ago I started making homemade fruit smoothies for breakfast - which contains 4 servings of fruit - so that covers the fruit half; and dinner I typically have some kind of veggie (broccoli, carrots, corn, beans, etc).  I do let myself indulge a little at holidays when it comes to baking cookies, but my issue isn't the food I eat, it's the lack of exercise due to a joint rehab.  As that joint has been healing and strengthening, I'm looking forward to progressively getting back to my "normal" exercise routines, but it might be another year or 2 until I'm back to full strength.  It's been hard dialing my exercise back, but if I don't, I'll just re-injure the joint and it'll just be that much longer...

We don't eat exactly right but lots better than we used to.  I have a serious sweets problem, especially chocolate.  I quit buying sweets for a while but that wasn't really fair to my husband so I started buying little candy bars for him.  Didn't take long and I was eating most of them myself.  I come by my love of sweets honestly though; my mom was the same way. lol

I'm horrible about eating healthy. I have a blender and i buy fruits and veggies to make smoothies, but with it being so cold, I'd rather have something warm instead of cold, summerlike, to me to drink.

I definitely don't eat a balance meal everyday. I try to eat certain things right, but I also my fill of indulgences I haven't been able to completely break from cycle. It doesn't help when family or friends come by, they always bring something unhealthy and I feel compelled to eat.

I don't always, but I do eat my fruits and vegetables, drink my protein shakes. And then I have the unhealthy foods which are not good.

Some people can't eat green veggies then what do you do? like people on blood thinners! Or Gout.  Vegetable are not good for them because it is the cure that thickens the blood. what do you eat then!
Fruit.. what about people who have allergies , like milk an d peanutes!

I rarely get my 5 servings of fruits and vegetables so I try to add juice to my daily meals.  V8 is a source I count on for nutrition.

Most days I do, but unfortunately I snack too much on the wrong things (chips, candy), especially later at night!

I am trying to eat the right foods, but it is so hard.  But I do love my carbs and that's the problem.
