What is your favorite healthy food?

Aeron1991 · August 2017

Hi everyone! So this will be my first full day on MyFitness, I am loving it so far, I have never calorie counted or kept a food diary before so feeling a little out of my depth

Anybody got any ideas for foods that are good and fill you up? Most uninspired meal of the day has to be lunchtime!

I love celery dipped in Buffalo sauce. This is my go to if not a ton of calories left.
My mornings are almost always eggs and veggies. Sometimes oatmeal with my own added walnuts and brown sugar or cinmamon. I also do a protein shake as a snack almost daily.
Really my meals are the same almost every day. Dinner is a protein, veggie and sometimes a potato or rice. I eat breakfast later in the day that lunch is more of a snack and at like 2.
It's about finding what works for you. Make healthier versions of the food you love.
Feel free to shoot me an add.

HI Lyric_Momma! That's great! I love buffalo sauce too! I will be giving this a go.
I am always out so early so only get chance for a big breaky on the weekend, but eggs are just darn delicious!
I have never had a protein shake, can you recommend a brand?

Hi

It doesn't take too long to prepare some breakfast and lunch foods in advance. Then just grab them from the fridge/freezer on your way out the door in the morning.
Try looking on youtube for some healthy meal-prep ideas.
Good luck

I love almost all foods and I believe a healthy diet is varied and balanced.

I don't buy into the idea of "filling foods" - an appropriate calorie goal and a balanced and varied diet is enough to not starve, and hunger is not an emergency as long as you don't starve, and I think the fear of getting hungry is way exaggerated and contributing to the "obesity epidemic".

I get inspiration from recipes online and in cookbooks, browsing the produce section in my grocery store, and looking back through my food log. I aim for all meals to be tasty and delicious.

For lunch I usually have sandwich+milk, or porridge, salad, noodles, omelet, boiled egg, leftovers, smoothie, and always fresh fruit and veg.

I have found drinking more fluid can fill me up, a lot of the time being hungry is actually your body telling you you are thirsty! I totally get what you mean by a fear of being hungry though, I think it is more I like being full but I don't want to stuff myself out of boredom :') I mean it more like a salad doesn't fill me up but is healthy.
I really want to buy one of those nutribullets! I love shakes and stuff, those ones you mentioned 1sphere sound delish

organic chocolate syrup :O oh wow!

Broccoli!!!! I love it, just steam it (not too long you don't wanna overcook it) and add little bit of butter and salt. It goes excellent with chicken and red meat, haven't tried with fish yet but why not. I cook cauliflower the same way and it's my number 2. These two are definitely not high on calories or carbs or anything actually.

For the thrist issue I agree water is super important, they say that adding chia seeds to your water helps you stay hydrated longer (which would be good for example when you go exercising) since when they're added to liquid they soak up liquid and bloat. They're also a good extra fiber source if you're doing keto and don't get enough of that.

So there's a few thoughts

I often prepare avocado sandwiches for lunchtime. You can vary sauce, bread type, and other ingredients to make it more or less healthy and avocado is very feeling imo

I like avocado, pineapple, watermelon. (Not all at the same time)

That was a very important precision lol ... though I know couple of really funky smoothie places where they could make that happen.

Hey, welcome to MFP! My favorite healthy snack is some sliced bell peppers and a bit of hummus. I like to sprinkle a little garlic powder on the veggies as well.

Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me!

Welcome to MFP! I am only 5 days in, but one of my favorite snacks that always fills me up is a cucumber. I know, sounds strange, but when they're on sale, they're my go to snack.

Black beans

cdudley628 · August 2017

I eat green beans about 5 times a week, they're good as a side with pretty much anything.

dillydaisys · August 2017

Avocado and Parmesan cheese, olives, feta cheese and strawberries

Crispy Baked broccoli!

BrendalovesJFP · August 2017

I love kale salads. Put on some avocado and cilantro cream and it is SO GOOD! I also love sautéed spinach and collard greens. Best fruits are kiwis, strawberries, cherries, and mangoes.

dhimaan · August 2017

Ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.
