Eating healthy: http://www.fitness.gov/eat-healthy/how-to-eat-healthy/

Eating healthy food is a good goal. Healthy food makes a healthier you!

Eating "clean" - the definition of "clean" is subjective, so you can make up whatever you want. Include bread, don't include bread...doesn't matter. You get to pick.

Oh boy, EVERYONE has a different opinion on this.

Generally speaking, clean eating means eating unprocessed or minimally processed natural foods. Homemade bread would likely be "cleaner" than store bought, but flour is a processed product any way you look at it. White, bleached flour is more processed than unbleached wholemeal flour.

I think it is a fuzzy subject. If you do the same processing at home that others do in a factory, does that make it cleaner? Are potato chips made at home any better than store bought chips whose only ingredients are potatoes, oil and salt?

I once worked in a food factory. It was about 1000% cleaner than any kitchen I've ever been in, lemme tell ya.

Side note: I'm not sure what being southern or Jamaican has to do with anything.

Also, eat the food. Log the food. If you drop the food, abide by the five second rule. Wash your hands. Those are my clean eating rules.

"Clean" is subjective and irrelevant. Eat to your MFP goal and if you like, focus on your macro nutrients to get the most bang for your nutritional buck.

Don't place so much emphasis on eating 'clean', just hit your macros and fibre targets if you have any. If not, just use your common sense. There's no set in stone rules on this that if broken will condemn you to some sort of unclean dietary hell. And if anyone starts any nutritional advice with the words 'You should avoid these foods...', you should probably be wary of them.

Is it clean if it meets the 5 second rule?

It sounds like you put a lot of work into making food the way you like it. I think if that is how you enjoy that is more important than a subjective term

If one were to create a dictionary entry for "eating clean," it'd take up half the book.

And since "eating clean" isn't going to determine weight loss/gain, it's really not important to track. Eating homemade is fine, I do that a lot, but it's all about calories.

Unless it's a wet/sticky food. Then I toss it, because ew.

I ate clean this morning. My grapes got a good scrubbing before they were eaten!

Don't put so much weight into "clean" and "dirty" foods. You will drive yourself up a wall. Focus on cooking more of your own stuff, learning moderation, and fueling your body with what it needs, whether or not it fits the umbrella term for "clean".
