    (1) Spinach
    (2) Yogurt
    (3) Tomatoes
    (4) Carrots
    (5) Blueberries
    (6) Black Beans
    (7) Walnuts
    (8) Oats

    Even though all those those food are healthy and I find delicious. I would never eat them everyday. I truly believe that eating the same things isn't healthy (I have no research backing this.) But if you only ate those foods mentioned above every day it would get boring.

    VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.

    I wish people would cite the source for "information" like this. As others have said, if you ate all of this, every day, you wouldn't have much room for variety. But here goes...

    (1) Spinach - About once a week, other days I eat other leafy greens (kale, Chinese broccoli, bok choy) for variety.
    (2) Yogurt - Pretty much never these days, I'm mostly off dairy.
    (3) Tomatoes - A couple of times a week
    (4) Carrots - Every day, give or take.
    (5) Blueberries - Rarely, just not a fan.
    (6) Black Beans - Occasionally, although I eat some bean most days.
    (7) Walnuts - Occasionally, they're on my eat more of list.
    (8) Oats - Probably 4 days a week, in small servings.

    I think it would be easier to try to eat them all at least once during your week

    Not every day but several days a week, yes - though instead of just black beans I eat a variety of different types of beans and lentils. But all of the above are favorite foods, most are pretty versatile and they work for me so I eat them frequently.

    I was reading that the following eight foods should be eaten everyday:

    (3) Tomatoes
    (4) Carrots
    (5) Blueberries
    (6) Black Beans
    (7) Walnuts
    (8) Oats

    Do you incorporate these into your diet? I'm going to slowly add these to mine and see if I can eat them everyday.

    Carrots would be the only thing in that list that I eat just about everyday. I put carrots in almost everything. A good friend keeps telling me my skin is going to turn orange, which she swears can happen.

    I never eat yogurt, but I eat the others occasionally.

    I'm trying to like walnuts. Tomatoes rarely come into the house because my husband can't eat them, and I hate the texture of blueberries. Except the chocolate covered ones. :-D
    Everything else, we don't have daily but several times a week.

    Not daily, but I do eat everything on that list on a regular basis. But I also agree with other posters who have said that they don't believe in having to eat specific foods. If you eat clean & healthy, it doesn't matter......eat whatever fruits, dairy, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats you prefer!

    I don't think I eat any of those every day, but I do eat all of them at least a couple of times a week. Some I'd like to step up a little....I keep reading how great spinach is for you. Something to work on...but I do consciously eat all of those things frequently.

    Never eat spinach and black beans just because I don't know what to do with them really, but eat all the others regularly! I couldn't stick to the same 8 foods every day though personally! X

    Nope, nor do I believe that any specific food is a requirement.

    EDIT: That being said, there's nothing wrong with eating those foods if you enjoy them.


    I agree with this!

    I eat Yogurt, Spinach, Tomatoes, Carrots and some type of bean on most days... no on the blueberries and walnuts. I do eat pistachios at least 3 times per week. And I eat fish at least once a week, even though I hate it.

    Carrots and oats are the only things on that list I ever eat. I don't like any of the other things and don't eat them. And I don't eat oats or carrots daily.
