What do you struggle to eat?

Vegetables, especially if they are boiled but with salad I could eat the whole bowl

I bought blue cheese to try crumbled in my salads. It smells like baby spitup and doesn't taste much better I wouldn't think.

Light beer -- I was served one yesterday by mistake.

Iron level seems to be a difficult one for me to hit regardless of all those lovely dark leafy green vegetables I eat. I get turned away from giving blood quite frequently because I'm usually a point or two below the recommended.

Chia seed puddings are a thing I struggle to eat. These food bloggers make them sound so tasty but to me it's like eating frog spawn.

Though it's gotten easier, I struggle to meet my protein goal without relying on a supplement. I'm a much bigger fan of carbs and fats, so I've had to change up my portion proportions a bit.

I have the same problem! Carbs and sugars are my weaknesses I've found it easier to portion out everything by using these 21 Day Fix containers. It's easier for me than counting calories since I naturally suck at math.

I'm baffled that that makes you prefer 21 day fix, as you would have to count the containers, while MFP does the math for you.

I LOVE the 21 Day Fix! I feel it's a much more accurate depiction of what I should be eating rather than counting calories. Plus, it teaches me how to "eyeball" my portions when I'm not home. MFP is great for accountability and support.

I think it's interesting and I don't have anything against 21 day fix per se, just think of it as unnecessary (restricting, and extra dishwashing). Lots of us are visual, but we prefer slightly different methods. I like to use a spreadsheet and putting color coded foods into virtual boxes. Saves dishes

Fibre - I changed my diet to incorporate more fat and protein, but as a result now struggle to eat as many vegetables as I used to. I don't often eat fruit at all now and it used to make up at least 60% of my diet. I make a point of incorporating fibre rich foods, but still rarely hit my MFP target.
That said though, it hasn't caused me any problems so far.

Protein for me as well. I'm allergic to eggs so I can't have them often and I don't like meat unless it's attached to a day's worth of fat and carbs. I tolerate chicken and fish, but "tolerate" is the keyword. Not somethig I would enjoy having often. I like beans and dairy but they would need to make 100% of my diet to hit anywhere close to my preferred protein goal. Solution: I don't sweat it. I eat protein when I can and don't when I can't. Losing weight is more important than fussing and stressing over grams of of protein.

On the flip side, my diet is very rich in fiber, leafy greens, various grains and grain products, various fruits, and all kinds of vegetables cooked and raw (plus lots and lots of tomatoes).

sugars from any source particularly in more liquid forms ( smoothies/ fruit juices etc ) cos medical condition

other than that i try and eat a varied diet, i like my meat and veg dinners, love my salads and have a weak spot for pasta dishes i just make sure to properly portion my pasta, yes it can be a little sad looking on the plate but ill deal

I struggle to get in fruit, some days I don't eat any. Since it doesn't fill me up I would rather spend those calories on something else, like laughing cow cheese, or a few nuts.

The only struggle I have with food is not to eat it.

I don't love veggies and would rather eat something else most of the time, but I like not being hungry all the time more.

I'm not big on seafood. I make an effort to work it into my diet occasionally but it's not something I really enjoy... unless it's batter dipped and deep fried and I don't do that anymore.

I struggle to eat boring and poorly made food.
If you have something unusual to offer me that was made with passion and zest, I say bring it on!

Vegetables. I usually drown them in sauce to make them palatable. Or mash them like baby food. And I still hate them. But they are easier to eat that way.

Fruits/Vegetables. I have improved on this, but I am picky and only like certain fruits/vegetables. Mostly it is a texture thing, I am trying to expand my palate though.

I struggle to get enough fiber from any source. 25g is actually a lot when you're averaging <1450 calories / day, and worse trying not to cook multiple meals and living with people who are actively against vegetables.

Try adding in Greek yogurt or quinoa. They are great sources of non-meat protein.

OK, there's one: brussel sprouts, I won't buy that again though. Even as soup, the bitter flavor persists.

I really struggle to eat enough protein too, no matter how hard I try! I guess I don't really like cooking with meat, which doesn't help, but it's still hard even when I do and no matter how many other 'high protein' foods I eat.
