in Food and Nutrition
I try my best to eat clean most of the time, but think I would be really motivated if I could have "friends" that did this, too. Lots of veggies (high fiber), proteins, and very limited processed foods. My biggest downfall is my soy consumption (in my coffee creamer), and weekends. Feel free to add me -- I lift heavy, and eat about 1500-2500 on most days. It varies depending on my hunger. I worry more about my nutrients vs. calories. I also normally burn 3000 or more calories 5-6 days a week (total expenditure via my bodymedia fit arm band) so this is a plus if you have a huge daily deficit. If you fit into this, please add me. I want more nutrition minded folks vs. fitness friends at this time. :)

    Feel free to add me old friend. While i do eat pretty clean (read as little processed foods as I can) I don't log much anymore so I'm not likely to be very helpful.

    Please show the universally accepted definition of "clean eating".

    What in the world is the big deal? I follow Tosca Reno's "clean eating". Healthy wholesome, natural foods. Mostly unprocessed. That's why I said 90-100% b/c I'm not perfect but strive to eat as clean as possible as much as possible, but I also still eat fast food (a few times a month), and get myself a treat at a coffee shop here and there. If you want my definition, read up on Tosca. Universally, I can't do that. I just do what works best for me and enjoy connecting with others to see what works for them.

    It isn't a big deal. You say the words "clean eating" around here and people go bat**** crazy. I know what you meant - whole foods, healthy stuff like lean meats, veggies, fruits ect. Some people just like to nitpick and go off topic, and never contribute to the topic of the thread itself. Topic here was basically "looking for friends with similar eating habits" NOT "what is the definition of clean eating" :laugh:

    Anyway. I'm a "dirty eater" I guess so you wouldn't want me, lol!! I do try to fit some healthy food choices in though on a regular basis in addition to my naughty foods. But to each their own, congrats on your 100 pound loss!! You have obviously found something that works for you.

    I don't think there was a big deal. Perhaps you should have just went with "Looking for people that follow Tosca Reno's clean eating".

    She said exactly what she believes the definition to be and what she is looking for in the first post. "Lots of veggies (high fiber), proteins, and very limited processed foods".

    She isn't trying to convert anyone and she isn't saying it's the only way. Don't turn this into another one of those.

    This is maybe a bit off track of what you were asking but I was just wondering what kind of weights you use when you say you lift heavy?

    I've started doing weights not so long ago and im interested :D x

    I think that my daily food intake is at least 90%.
    One of my goals was to limit process food.
    I was a big coffee lover,but rarely drink it now.
    I have my meals open to the public. Look at it and see if it meets what your are requiring

    Agreed. There are as many definitions of "clean eating" as there are stars in the sky. Or so it seems. Just thought maybe you have come across the universally accepted definition. But nope. You are using Tosca Reno's. No bid deal. Suite yourself.

    Dude, maybe you ought to go have a poptart or an ice cream cone or something and reduce that toxic reactive stress level.

    I'm a vegetarian and not as active as you, but I do eat "clean" focusing on produce, legumes, nuts/seeds, and a little dairy with as little processed as I can. Add me if you want :happy:

    I'm a pretty "clean" eater but do enjoy my not-so clean snacks at the end of the day. Feel free to add me if you'd like - I'm a regular logger. :)
