What are your most frequent foods? Are you proud of them?

Mine are all healthy because they are the fixings for my morning smoothie. It's not really indicative of the way I eat all day, but I'll take it!

nevermind i found it!

these are mine:

Quinoa, Cooked - Cooked , Plain
Almond - Nuts - Almond - Raw
super chocolate protein overnight oats
Fruit - Banana Small (6"-7")(101g)
Avocado - Fresh Plain Avocado
Generic - Fresh Ground Almond Butter
Spinach - Raw
Whole Foods - Fresh Ground Peanut Butter (2 Tbsp/33g)

1. Cucumber
2. Lettuce
3. Tomatoes
4. Green Peppers
5. Eggs
6. Onions
7. Strawberries
8. Blueberries
9. Cabbage
10. Tuna Fish

I don't think anyone would guess I eat a low carb, high fat diet based on this list. :laugh: I not unhappy with them and I do eat those things a lot but I wonder how the list is populated? Butter, heavy cream, and beef are just a few things that come to mind that I know I eat more frequently than say strawberries and tuna fish.

I am too dumb to find the most frequent foods list. I can pull up the frequent foods by meal but they're just alphabetized, not in order or frequency. Help a sister out?

I eat a lot of fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds. Love my dark leafy greens. Flax oats, lean protein. Occasional treats. Lots of water, green tea...and one bug mug of coffee in the morning...which I earn by drinking 24 ounces of water first. I'm pretty proud!!

Pretty sure based on my own list and diary that it is simply based on how often it - the specific item listed, including brand / description - appears in your diary; nothing to do with actual calories, nor with "food groupings" -- i.e., I eat me some Yoplait light yogurt most mornings, but vary the flavors. If I recorded them as "Yoplait light yogurt" it'd be my top item for sure (well . . . maybe tequila would be a challenger), but because they are listed as "Yoplait - Peach" and "Yoplait - Strawberry" etc. they don't all appear.

Your "beef" might be different cuts / types of beef in your diary? My daily vitamin, my butter substitute, my coffee creamer, and my tequila are always the exact same brand / name with just the amount varying on a daily basis, so they appear just about every day and make up a very boring "10 most frequent foods" list. Well, except for the tequila

In a morning smoothie;

100% whey protein powder.
Water
1 banana
chia seeds
goji berries
frozen berries.

During the week;
Avocados
Fish
Chicken
Cherry tomatoes & red onion
Rocket/spinach lettuce mix
Lebanese bread
Plain Greek yoghurt
All bran & skimmed milk

All washed down with a nice shiraz & a few beers!!lol

Yeah, this looks to me like the way the list is generated, which leads to mine being dominated by foods that don't come in brands and flavors, because I tend to go with a lot of variation and only have a few products (such as peanut butter) where I have strong brand loyalty. Of all the items that were ever in my top 25 most frequent, the one that really made me proud was tortilla chips, because I'd only had one bag in the house since I'd been using MFP, which meant that instead of eating the bag in two sittings, which would have been pretty typical in the past, I managed to eat much smaller amounts at any one time, so it was more like 7 or 8 separate entries in my diary.

My current top 10 list:

Coffee, brewed from grounds (about the only thing I have as an entry almost every day)
Salt
Banana
Apple, raw with skin
Diet Coke
Nature's Promise organic 1% milk
Vegetable - tomato, whole, fresh
Add - potassium
Lemon juice, raw
Blue Diamond - Coffee Almonds - roasted coffee flavor

Mine are:
Tea with semi skimmed milk
Butter (ha)
Special K Original
Olive oil
Semi-skimmed milk
Fat free raspberry yoghurt (Danone Activia)
Northeast stottie
Pure squeezed orange juice
Onions
Carrots

The tea and butter are what I expected. I cannot figure out how the Special K and semi-skimmed milk got separated by olive oil, as the milk always goes on the Special K! I do a lot of cooking from scratch, so the rest of the list tends to be raw veg ingredients. The only one on the list that isn't so great is the stottie - a bread from the North-East made with lard! But it's my favourite treat

Here are mine - #4 makes me laugh...
And I often eat a salad of raw spinach, crumbled goat cheese, raspberries, and that dressing, so that's the reason for 1/2 the list!

Banana
Oil - Olive
Blueberries - Raw
White Wine - Sauvignon Blanc
Panera Bread - Raspberry Vinaigrette Fat-Free Salad Dressing
Generic - Hardboiled Egg
Watermelon - Raw
365 - Crunchy Peanut Butter
Organic Spinach - Raw
Trader Joe's - Crumbled Goat Cheese
