    Yes-def aiming for 80-90% wholesome foods with some slip ups here and there. But no matter what, staying w/in daily cals.

    Shoot when I saw the topic I thought we were going to talk about the quality of a fresh croissant with homemade preserves versus eating a box frozen pop tart.

    I'll take pop-tarts

    Yup, I try and cook wherever possible but I have my fill of junk at times... and alcohol. I'm losing inches at the min so it must be ok? x

    Here lately I have been trying not to restrict what foods that I want to eat. I have done this in the past and then failed miserably. Presently I am really working on portion control and counting calories. So if I want the chocolate then I will go ahead and eat it as long as I stay within portion control and I can fit it into my calories.

    My green smoothie:

    Protein powder
    Org. Greek Yogurt
    Organic baby spinach
    Organic Wheat Grass Power
    Banana or Avocado
    Frozen Mango

    AMAZING! :flowerforyou:

    Or all veggiefruit green smoothie:

    Peeled cucumber
    Avocado
    Spinach
    Romaine
    Banana
    Chia Seeds

    Yumm Yumm Yumm!

    ... of course dilute with filtered water as necessary! :drinker:
