Clean Diary question
So, today was my first day really eating clean and I had huge trouble eating enough calories. We just finished dinner and I'm full. I'm planning to have a chocolate protein shake later (while I watch the season premiere of Downton Abbey) just so I can hit 1300 calories. Would anyone mind looking at my diary for today and…

New here
Hello, I'm so glad that there's a group like this on MFP! I have been a believer in clean eating (although I never knew there was a name for it until today) for a long time. I certainly haven't practiced it as consistently as I'd like in the recent past. I was a vegetarian for a long time in my younger days and have only…

Eating clean when the rest of the family doesn't

Emergency restaurant List
I'm aware the easiest way to eat clean is to make your own meals. But you know those days where you would just rather go to some fast food place and pick up food ? Or your christmas party is at a "not so clean" restaurant? I'm proposing that we compile a list!! For example, the cleanest fast food you could eat, the…

Am I just a weirdo?
I have always considered my way of eating “clean” but when I look at food journals of my clean eating friends, I see packaged and processed foods, low fat foods, and basically a list of things that I would not eat. Not saying in any way that they are wrong and my way is right!! Just saying it’s different from what I eat. I…

Are Kashi granola bars or red/green powder drinks "clean"???
Hi, I'm new to this group. I know I eat really healthy, at least I think I do.... Would Kashi crunchy granola bars be considered clean eating? They are, I believe the lowest in sugar and even call it "evaporated cane juice." They are a major part of my diet. Also do things like red and green powders count as "clean" or is…

Clean eating and caffeine

Clean eater, I think
Hi all. I'm new to the group. I started loosing weight in January of this year by going high protein and as close to no carb as possible (not even good carbs). In September, I started doing the South Beach plan but noticed I was still gaining if I ate any processed carbs (bread of any kind, etc.) so I stopped eating them.…

Tell me about lamb, please?
Short form: I was a vegetarian for 20+ years and now I'm not. I started eating meat about 5 weeks ago and I saw improvements in my health and well-being, so I am sticking with it. I am only eating pastured meats which are raised humanely; it's the least I can do, and also the best I can do right now (when I finish college…
