Any open diaries - clean eating

Mkneedtogetfit

Hello clean eaters, are any of you happy to share diaries so that I can get some clean meal ideas? Thanks

Do you want random meal ideas, as long as they are presented as "clean", or ideas for nutritious meals?

As clean eating isn't really a thing, just a buzz phrase, you'll need to define what you mean by it.

Wonderful to hear! I don't use my food diary anymore, but you wouldn't have gotten anything meaningful out of it anyway, so the best ideas for nutritious meals I have, is just this:
learn about food groups (fruit, vegetables, protein foods, dairy, starches, nuts&seeds, fats&oils);
base your meals on protein, fat and vegetables, and then add on throughout the day so that you eat something from each food group every day;
vary your food choices;
try new foods occasionally;
eat regular meals and avoid eating between meals;
don't demonize any foods, food groups or nutrients;
eat food you like;
free yourself from recipes and learn to cook.

The original definition of clean eating is eating whole foods only. No processed, refines or handled.
So the original concept really means 'Raw Vegan' and that's difficult to follow.
It was only after marketing got a hold of the concept that they started turning clean eating into really anything they wanted it to mean. from adding meat to protein shakes, it all became fair game.

I unfortunately, do not keep a diary. I only use it if I want to get an idea of the calories for a specific food group or meal.
But I can give you an idea.

Breakfast usually goes:
Apples - Apples, 1 medium apple 80
Supermarket - Banana, 2 banana 210
Total Calories: 290

My usual lunches include:
Indian - Rice Sona Masoori, 1 cup (cooked) 160
Beans - Black, cooked, boiled, with salt, 1 cup 227
Generic - Mung Bean Sprouts, 1 cup 26
Tomato - Tomato - Jt, 1 Large (182 g) 33
Green - Beans, 1 cup 40
Salad - Spring Mix, 2 cups 10
Brocolette, 82 grams (about 8 stalks) 35
Watercress, raw, 1 cup, chopped 4
Arugula, raw, 1 cup 5
Total Calories: 645

Dinner goes:
Tomato -, 1 Large (182 g) 33
Beans - Black, cooked, boiled, with salt, 1 cup 227
Indian - Rice Sona Masoori, 1 cup (cooked) 160
Generic - Mung Bean Sprouts, 1 cup 26
Generic - Spinash, Raw, 30 g (1Cup) 7
Yellow - Onion, 1 each 40
Ortaggi E Verdure - Cavolo Nero (Kale), 80 g 19
Each - Mushrooms, 2 Large 10
Eggplant, raw, 3 cup, cubes 62
Total Cal: 584

Snack:
Sci-mx - Pro V-gain Protein (Chocolate), 45 g 160 (When needed)


That is A LOT OF FOOD. It's hard to eat it all. Less than 1500 cals if I don't put in a protein shake which I only use if DOMS sets in after a hard workout.
I workout 7 days a week with no rest day and I never worry about macros. Forget protein, carbs, fat etc.
If you're not working to compete, having a rainbow of colors on your plate will ensure not only macros are met, but also fiber, vitamins, minerals etc.

Hope this helps:)
