Though it's gotten easier, I struggle to meet my protein goal without relying on a supplement. I'm a much bigger fan of carbs and fats, so I've had to change up my portion proportions a bit.0

use to be eating enough greens/veggies everyday. i still cannot eat enough of them so i bought a nutra blender and now end up throwing like 75% of them into the blender, add some unsweeten vanilla almond milk, pineapple juice, frozen banana chips and some hemp hearts and drink my daily veggies plus some of my other daily needs..it isactually a decent late day meal really.0

I prefered my vegan one. Your tastes change over time. Also about 24 days in I stopped eating as much because I was no longer...hungry or obsessed with jawing food. Dr Fuhrman would say that I was nourished enough from all the vegetables that my toxic hunger went away. Additionally at some point we need to WO-man up and do things for our body such as eat for life and not for taste.

I'm baffled that that makes you prefer 21 day fix, as you would have to count the containers, while MFP does the math for you.

I LOVE the 21 Day Fix! I feel it's a much more accurate depiction of what I should be eating rather than counting calories. Plus, it teaches me how to "eyeball" my portions when I'm not home. MFP is great for accountability and support.0 -
I don't eat enough fruit and veggies cuz I'm picky and only like specific ones. I naturally just don't seem to eat them. I don't like peanuts but I like peanut butter. I don't like bananas unless they are a specific texture. I don't eat romaine lettuce in salads..I have to have lettuce instead cuz I don't like the taste of the dark leaves. I think they taste too bitter.0

Anything green I'm like a little kid, fruits are okay but veggies are my biggest struggle. I've just had to find healthy recipes for them that I enjoy but ultimately Onions and mushrooms can go *kitten* themselves0

I don't like cooked leafy greens. I love them raw or in smoothies, but I just can't get past the texture of them cooked. Makes me gag.
I struggle with protein, too. I don't eat much meat, and even with daily servings of greek yogurt, kefir, beans, peas, and a protein shake, I'm still usually 40-60 grams under. I just accept it and move on. I feel fine, so I figure that I am fine.0 -
Vegetables, especially if they are boiled but with salad I could eat the whole bowl

I bought blue cheese to try crumbled in my salads. It smells like baby spitup and doesn't taste much better I wouldn't think.0

Light beer -- I was served one yesterday by mistake.0

Iron level seems to be a difficult one for me to hit regardless of all those lovely dark leafy green vegetables I eat. I get turned away from giving blood quite frequently because I'm usually a point or two below the recommended.
Chia seed puddings are a thing I struggle to eat. These food bloggers make them sound so tasty but to me it's like eating frog spawn.0 -

I think it's interesting and I don't have anything against 21 day fix per se, just think of it as unnecessary (restricting, and extra dishwashing). Lots of us are visual, but we prefer slightly different methods. I like to use a spreadsheet and putting color coded foods into virtual boxes. Saves dishes0 -
Fibre - I changed my diet to incorporate more fat and protein, but as a result now struggle to eat as many vegetables as I used to. I don't often eat fruit at all now and it used to make up at least 60% of my diet. I make a point of incorporating fibre rich foods, but still rarely hit my MFP target.
That said though, it hasn't caused me any problems so far.0 -
Protein for me as well. I'm allergic to eggs so I can't have them often and I don't like meat unless it's attached to a day's worth of fat and carbs. I tolerate chicken and fish, but "tolerate" is the keyword. Not somethig I would enjoy having often. I like beans and dairy but they would need to make 100% of my diet to hit anywhere close to my preferred protein goal. Solution: I don't sweat it. I eat protein when I can and don't when I can't. Losing weight is more important than fussing and stressing over grams of of protein.
On the flip side, my diet is very rich in fiber, leafy greens, various grains and grain products, various fruits, and all kinds of vegetables cooked and raw (plus lots and lots of tomatoes).0 -
sugars from any source particularly in more liquid forms ( smoothies/ fruit juices etc ) cos medical condition
other than that i try and eat a varied diet, i like my meat and veg dinners, love my salads and have a weak spot for pasta dishes i just make sure to properly portion my pasta, yes it can be a little sad looking on the plate but ill deal0 -
I struggle to get in fruit, some days I don't eat any. Since it doesn't fill me up I would rather spend those calories on something else, like laughing cow cheese, or a few nuts.0

The only struggle I have with food is not to eat it.
I don't love veggies and would rather eat something else most of the time, but I like not being hungry all the time more.0
