What is your idea of clean eating?

missylectro

And do you follow it?

Here is mine:
-no wheat - I find this hard to do because so many things contain wheat
-no pop - easily done
-lots of veggies - easy! I love veggies!
-no sweets except for dark chocolate - hard, especially around Christmas time

Lots of lean meats, tons of veg and lots of greens, good carbs (oat bran, quinoa, sweet potatoes, brown rice), high fiber. Occasional treats and occasional "cheat" meals to keep myself from feeling deprived.

I find peanut and celery help the up and down hungry. Also, radishes with lemon. Anything sour helpd the sweet tooth.

You must be from the Great Lakes area to use the term Pop.

That there is no clear cut definition of it because everyone's version is some what different... Although the bulk of my eating consists of lean meats, veggies, fruits, and wholes grains, I don't demonize any food groups and if I want it and it fits then I eat it.... Best of Luck

My version of clean eating is making meals from scratch. I hardly consume processed foods nowadays.

Cooking the majority of my own food and avoiding as much overly processed food as I possibly can within my budget.

I am also lucky that I have chickens, a vegetable patch and fruit trees in my backyard.

Edit - Will now sit back and wait for the inevitable.

To me, clean eating means hitting my macros as closely as possible and trying to stay in my calorie limit. It's a struggle!

Why do you think there will be a fight? Someone is asking for people's definition of clean. They aren't telling people what clean IS. Rather refreshing I think!

Im not sure how this relates to "clean eating"?


Everyone has a completely different view/definition of "clean eating". I don't say I "eat clean". I choose to predominantly eat foods that promote good health in the body. I eat mainly fresh produce, stuff without ingredient labels - the majority of my meals is based around protein, good fats and vegetables. Most of the food I eat with a label is minimally processed and could be homemade from fresh ingredients. I buy and eat the best quality I can. I feel better eating this way.
I still enjoy other food, but it has to be good quality.....example, I'll eat an amazing chocolate cake made by a really good cake maker, but not a chocolate cake from the supermarket.

Just info to read. Didn't think it'd hurt anyone. Sorry if the extra knowledge offended you :flowerforyou:

Well I will admit that this is refreshing but most anytime anyone mentions Clean Eatting there is a fight and Gifs and entertainment abounds.
