    I guess I don't *get* what this definition of clean eating is. I cook/prepare about 75% of my own food.

    Thank for your replies everyone, I will check out your diaries :smile:
    Thanks for the vegeterian pryamid too!

    I'm aware oats, tofu etc isn't 100% clean but to me clean is more focused on non junk type foods and added sugar, unhealthy fats etc.

    You can check out my diary. I eat pretty clean too. Most processed foods I eat are usually protein powder and cottage cheese.

    I'm aware oats, tofu etc isn't 100% clean but to me clean is more focused on non junk type foods and added sugar, unhealthy fats etc.

    Rolled oats or steel cut oats are clean because they are whole foods. Only porridge oats are processed.

    I've been trying to incorporate more clean/whole foods into my diet lately. I'm also mostly eating plant based (e.g. vegan). I use some non-dairy milk, non-dairy and dairy yoghurts and eat some chocolate (but try to go for the healthier options e.g. raw artisan chocolate bars etc.) and a few things like breakfast cereals every now and then.

    A good "clean" day for me would be something like this:

    Breakfast: overnight oats (rolled jumbo oats, non-dairy milk, fruit, chia seeds - prepared the night before and kept in the fridge overnight)
    Lunch: homemade green smoothie (berries, banana, raw hemp protein powder, a couple of handfuls of spinach, non-dairy milk or organic coconut water)
    Dinner: homemade veggie stew/chilli or curry (beans or lentils and veg) with quinoa (with minimal oil used in cooking e.g. 1 tsp of olive oil)
    Snacks: fresh and dried (no added sugar or anything artificial) fruit, raw veggies, nuts and/or seeds, yoghurt or non-dairy yoghurt topped with sunflower seeds or hemp seeds, homemade vegan baked or no-bake goodies like no-bake oat bars or brownies/blondies made with chickpeas (instead of flour), apple sauce (instead of egg) and peanut butter (as the fat).

    sunflower seeds
    pistachios
    apple

    Coconut oil, the oil used to make the dressing, and cream are all processed. it's highly likely the chia, sunflower seeds and coffee were also processed
