What I think of clean eating is to eat 80% healthy nutritious natural home cooked food and 20% whatever you like.

IMO, that's not "clean eating," but the definition of moderation, which gets back to my point about how this discussion is so confusing and seems to be more so by the weird attachment to the "clean eating" term.

Based on what most proponents around here say, I think of "clean eating" as being eliminationist, but never in agreement on what must be eliminated. Since IMO healthy eating is not about eliminating things, but what you do eat, I disagree with the approach. Of course, focusing on getting the balance of your diet from a good mix of nutritious foods that meet your goals (i.e., moderation or the flexible approach) does, of course, result in your diet being mostly that sort of food. I also tend to be picky about the less nutrient-dense/high calorie foods I eat, since why waste calories on something not really worth it.
