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

    (1) Spinach
    (2) Yogurt
    (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.

    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.

    Great point!
    Now, let's see...

    (1) Spinach - Every other day! Love spinach with eggs :)
    (2) Yogurt - Haven't in a long time... dairy intolerant :(
    (3) Tomatoes - Only if cooked or in sauce.. raw freaks me out!
    (4) Carrots - YES! With hummus, please? Or in a kimchee stew?
    (5) Blueberries - Just made some paleo pastries with these guys! Frozen with dark chocolate drizzled on top is fabulous as well.
    (6) Black Beans - No, too calorically dense for me.
    (7) Walnuts - I keep hearing these are the super nuts, and one of the best for you. High ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids.
    (8) Oats - I love oats a few times a week!

    Every personal opinion will vary, but I don't think there is any food item that should be consumed every day except water. I like variety so I can keep my meals interesting. If I get bored with what I'm eating I tend to wander into the snack aisle and let my sweet tooth go crazy.

    (1) Spinach - fairly regularly
    (2) Yogurt - off and on. Will go weeks eating every day, and weeks w/o eating yogurt. Real Greek yogurt only now, Fage or Chobani depending on cost.
    (3) Tomatoes - almost daily (salads)
    (4) Carrots - almost daily (salads)
    (5) Blueberries - only when in season.
    (6) Black Beans - couple times a week
    (7) Walnuts - almost never (only if someone sneaks them into brownies or cookies)
    (8) Oats - couple times a week.

    Fat free plain greek yogurt has 18g of protein and 7g of sugar (lactose) per 100 cals. I don't think that's too much sugar!

    Black beans are my new favorite food! Use them instead of meat to make tacos and enchiladas. They are also great in soup, chili, egg rolls, etc. You can find a million recipes online for black beans.
