How Many of These Superfoods Are You Eating?

Teliooo

Everything except eggs - sorry, but people trying to lose weight need to wait until they reach their goals before going back to eggs. Too fattening.

I don't really agree with that. You just incorate them into your goals. 5 grams of fat and 2 saturated is not to much at all. I have had no trouble losing weight eating eggs. Yeah if you go overboard but that can be said for many foods.

Don't even try to convince him... He believes no healthy diet could EVER include whole eggs. He is very passionate about the topic and firmly believes that fat people must not eat eggs if they are serious about weight loss. According to his vast expertise, at a whopping 75 calories each they are just "too fattening". It's not his opinion... according to him it's "fact".

Wow, so we are not allowed to eat fish either?

Nope, fish is fine, it's just the whole eggs that are too fattening. At first I thought he just thought that they were bad because of the cholesterol, but apparently according to him there is something inherently evil about an egg yolk that prevents weight loss and any scientific studies that contradict his opinion are just "junk science"

That is amazing. I am not even gonna begin to try and work that out.

1. Whole Eggs. I have eggs for breakfast sometimes, but I usually use one whole egg and two egg whites. My favorite breakfast sandwich is the egg mixture on a toasted 100 calorie deli thin with red onion, tomatoe, and salsa

2. Fish Oil. My husband is trying to add this in to my vitamins, but I think it makes my breath stink.

3. Wild Salmon. We have salmon about 3 times a month.

4. Berries. Just about every day, if its not fresh I put them in a smoothie

5. Yogurt. Daily, in smoothies, for breakfast with granola and berries on top. Heaven.

6. Flax Seeds. I can't eat much flax seed. It gives me bathroom issues.

7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil....A little every day.

8. Mixed Nuts. Sone has a tree nut allergy, but when he's not out with me I sometimes have almonds.

9. Red Meat. Protein, about 2-3 times a week. I stick mostly to turkey fish and chicken though.

10. Broccoli. a couple times a week

11. Spinach. a couple times a week on sandwiches instead of lettuce

12. Turkey. About once a day on sandwiches

13. Quinoa. I don't like it, so never.

14. Oats. I use them when I cook. Like in turkey meatloaf and in burgers.

15. Tomatoes. About 4-5 times a week on sandwiches or with cottage cheese for a snack

16. Oranges. I eat grapefruit, but not usually oranges.

17. Apples. usually have daily.

18. Carrots. Usually have daily

19. Water. Everyday

20. Green Tea. Never, but I like black tea a lot if that counts at all.

The doc at CWMC recommended I eat an egg or two with my cereal for the protein.

I eat most of those in my daily health shake. The rest I get on their own. So I think I'm pretty up on this list

I have to question any list that includes red meat as a superfood and feels the need to include water at all (because, you know, you sort of can't survive for more than a few days without that). Still, I'm willing to play along.

1. Whole Eggs - rarely
2. Fish Oil - no, I eat fish
3. Wild Salmon - on and off (I choose my fish by what's on sale, although I always eat wild)
4. Berries - rarely, as I don't like them much (although, when my dad grew them briefly, I was rarely allowed in the field)
5. Yogurt - daily, and Greek
6. Flax Seeds - almost daily, in my oatmeal
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - no, but I have kalamata olives in my lunch every workday
8. Mixed Nuts - almost daily
9. Red Meat - I think I would literally puke if I ate any of that at this point
10. Broccoli - not as much as I used to
11. Spinach - again, not as much as I used to
12. Turkey - fun fact: attempted some at Thanksgiving to appease my aunt; almost puked from the taste alone
13. Quinoa - I trade back and forth between this and brown rice for part of my dinners
14. Oats - almost daily
15. Tomatoes - in my lunch every workday
16. Oranges - daily
17. Apples - daily (I did grow up in an apple orchard, after all)
18. Carrots - in my lunch every workday
19. Water - why is this even on here?
20. Green Tea - rarely, as I prefer black and coffee

Tuna is actually also one of the best sources of omega-3s.

saving this to read after i take my kiddos to school..Thanks for posting!

Everything except
salmon (too expensive normally :ohwell: )
flax seeds
oranges (too messy & takes me forever to get all the bits out of my teeth )
turkey: too expensive here. Chicken/fish/kangaroo are my main protein sources.
oh & I use coconut oil not olive oil

I didn't see pop tarts on the list? WTF? :indifferent:

Occasionally: Fish oil, flax seeds, turkey, quinoa, green tea
Never: Red meat

I guess I'm not doing too badly.

NeedANewFocus

some but not all. definitely have a better idea now.

1. Whole egg---> 1 a day is fine, and more then that depends on body fat and physique. (Weight gaining, gym activity and daily required intake)

I myself eat 2 whole eggs of egg white, no yolk. Cholesterol is very subject to climb when eating alot of eggs. Trust me. I was on a breakfast ZONE for 3 months, smashing 8-12 eggs a day lol! My blood Cholesterol went to 375. When i chopped out the yolk and just ate whites, i dropped it to 145 in 3 months.

2. Fish Oil---> A definite must! mg intake again, depends on height, weight, etc. Every body is different and requires amounts based on that. Otherwise, you get the fish burps all the time lol! Garlic breath is bad enough, imagine fish breath lol!!

3. Salmon is great, if you can afford to eat it that much! Very expensive cost if eaten regularly.

4. Berries- I don’t eat them, unless they just happen to be laying around on occasion and there is no other snack to eat

5. Yogurt- Not a fan!

6. Flax Seeds- Is a commonly found ingredient in whole wheat bread. Eat your whole wheat bread, and you wont need to eat flax seed raw or ground up. I eat between 7-8 slices of whole wheat bread a week.
The rest of my carbs come from other foods.

7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil- Great to take straight, or use in cooking! Definite great flavor on foods, especially when baking sweet potato!

8. Mixed Nuts- Eat 2 tbsp of peanut butter instead. Has less sodium and is good on toast with breakfast!

9. Red Meat- Good if you can afford it also. I eat alot of chicken, drumsticks mainly. At least 12-16 ounces (6-8 drumsticks) a day!

10. Broccoli- No, unless it has hot cheddar on it lol, and that does nto work in my eating so, X-O for no!

11. Spinach- Nope

12.Turkey- Not unless its Thanksgiving, and just a slice is all :-P

13. Quinoa- No?

14. Oats- On occasion if no bread, or brown rice is to be found

15. Tomatoes- Not at all

16. Oranges- No

17. Apples- On occasion if no carbs are near

18. Carrots- No

19. Water- At least 1 gallon-1.5 gallons a day

20. Green Tea-Dont drink much

lemonadem

Good list.

All but the Salmon, I cannot stomach the taste of anything fishy
