Welcome! We all have a bit different definitions of clean eating, but I think that is ok (at least it is ok with me!). And sometimes I suck at it, like today when I bought peppermint ice cream at the store, it is like a delicious childhood memory! And I tried to buy one of the better brands that was more cream and less junk- but of course only the cheap brand had peppermint!

Anyway. That was not helpful, lol.

I eat 2000 calories a day, 5'8" woman currently weighing in at 165 and trying to get to 160. My fitbit says I typically burn 2400 calories a day, so that is how I arrived at the number.

My goals:
-lots of beans
-lots of veggies
-whole grains
-good fats (grass fed butter, etc)
-minimize sugar and processed junk

I am a vegetarian.

Typical snacks:
-handful of mixed nuts
-Wasa cracker with cheese
-Siggi yogurt (very low sugar but just enough not not taste nasty-kudos to those who can choke down plain yogurt!)
-Cut up apples (for some reason, like 2 year olds everywhere, I will eat cut apples but not bother with a whole apple)
-Homemade easy to grab baked good like cornbread muffin, pumpkin bread, etc, I sweeten them minimally and use honey or maple syrup

Typical breakfast: oatmeal or fried eggs with sauteed veggies (bell peppers and mushrooms)

Typical week of dinners:
-Homemade pizza with sourdough crust, pesto, and various veggies
-Pasta with either pesto or tomato sauce
-Black bean or refried bean tacos
-Taco salads
-Beans and rice (we love our beans!)

Always with a veggie side of some kind

Lunches: big salad with beans or dinner leftovers.

Obviously that may not appeal to the non-bean lovers!
