What's the worse thing you DIDN'T eat pre-MFP

Mine was protein. And I even ate the bare minimum MFP recommends when I started, because I didn't know how beneficial protein is for satiety and health.

Oh, and ice cream. Just because you jerks are always going on about how great it is. :laugh:

    Potatoes!! Oh, yeah!! Those suckas are 100% responsible for me finally packing a lunch. I love to weigh and nuke one in the morning :smile:

    Spinach, would have never occurred to me to put 400g of spinach in a breakfast smoothie.

    Ice cream for me too. I mean, I ate it before, but now I try to eat it every night when I can fit it into my macros. In fact, I pre-log the ice cream and plan around it. Winning!

    Eggs. And maybe gelato... Verdict is still out on that. But yeah, I never ate eggs before, and now they're almost a daily thing. Yum.

    Mine was protein too. I was vegetarian when I started, and my diet must have been 80% carbs.

    Cottage cheese! I had no idea what a great snack it is. Back then I'd snack on various processed carb "snack packs" that were totally devoid of protein and nutrition in general.

    Peanut butter by itself. I used to think the stuff was gross: a last resort for when there was no butter or margarine to put on toast. But now I am addicted to eating it with jam on a sandwich :laugh:

    I probably ate enough protein before I started counting calories (since I generally ate way bigger portions of everything), but I ate way too little protein when I started couting.
    At first, I only looked at the calorie count so I didn't notice really, but then I read a lot about working out and such and realized it'd be a good idea to take a look at how much protein I was eating. It was way too little, so for the past couple of weeks I've tried to eat at least 110g of protein every day and it's going pretty well. :)

    I didn't eat enough protein, but it wasn't a big deal as I wasn't losing weight anyway.

    Definitely wasn't eating as much ice cream though. I blame MFP too for that :laugh:

    Pre-MFP I had the idea that eggs might possibly be terrible for me, so even though I liked them I ate maybe 3 per week. Now I probably eat 7 or so.

    I still eat the same stuff I had in the past. Nothing new.

    I use MFP to help me manage what I shove down my pie hole.

    Im a glutton

    I really didn't eat much protein. And I still don't. Trying. :(

    Salmon & almonds. Hardly ever ate either. Now I eat both up to 4 times a week :heart:

    I was 90% vegetarian before I joined just because I mainly ate veg and carbs. Nuts for protein. Not near enough protein, though.

    Enough protein.

    I also NEVER ate ice cream or something equally delicious without feeling guilty about it. Now I just fit it in my day and enjoy it.

    This is true.

    I eat far more ice cream now that I know I can fit it in.

    LOL

    Eggs! I mean, I ate them, but I always ate them scrambled, with cheese, and lots of butter to keep them from sticking. I've branched out quite a bit now, to include poached, sunny-side-up, and boiled eggs. Also yogurt. I liked it, but I never really ate it. I had no idea it was usable in so many recipes, either!

    Veggies.

    I still have to struggle to eat them sometimes, but I at least try LOL

    I don't think I've added anything to my diet since joining MFP. I have tried a few new recipes I found on here that I love, though. Such as beet and sweet potato hash.

    Avacado and hummas. I didn't think I liked either one. But, now they are both on my weekly shopping list!!

    Not enough veggies.
    Probably not enough protein also, loaded up on white carbs all day every day.
