How Many of These Superfoods Are You Eating?

I eat those things except for quinoa. I don't like the taste.
What makes something a "super" food anyway? Can't we just call it food? Honestly, if it isn't junk food, it has a long list of nutritional benefits and there are things that aren't on this list that I think are more healthy than some that did. :flowerforyou:0 -
Everything except eggs - sorry, but people trying to lose weight need to wait until they reach their goals before going back to eggs. Too fattening.
I don't really agree with that. You just incorate them into your goals. 5 grams of fat and 2 saturated is not to much at all. I have had no trouble losing weight eating eggs. Yeah if you go overboard but that can be said for many foods.0 -
everything on the list apart from fish and fish oil if I ate that I'd not be needing to diet - I'm allergic - always wondered what to eat instead to make up for the no fish or shellfish diet.0

Don't even try to convince him... He believes no healthy diet could EVER include whole eggs. He is very passionate about the topic and firmly believes that fat people must not eat eggs if they are serious about weight loss. According to his vast expertise, at a whopping 75 calories each they are just "too fattening". It's not his opinion... according to him it's "fact".0 -

Wow, so we are not allowed to eat fish either?0 -
On a normal diet week - almost all of them but quinoa (but I got some from Costco, just haven't made it yet - fyi: they make frozen individual servings) and I just don't like salmon:(
I have also heard amazing things lately about "chia seeds"??? I can only put so much junk in yogurt and we already do flax at our house. Anyone know how you use these suckers?0 -

Nope, fish is fine, it's just the whole eggs that are too fattening. At first I thought he just thought that they were bad because of the cholesterol, but apparently according to him there is something inherently evil about an egg yolk that prevents weight loss and any scientific studies that contradict his opinion are just "junk science"0 -

I eat eggs everyday. I ate them from the time I was 191 pounds until I was 128 pounds. They are quite healthy, full of protein and healthy fats...which, by the way, is what people losing weight need the most.0 -

1. Whole Eggs. I have eggs for breakfast sometimes, but I usually use one whole egg and two egg whites. My favorite breakfast sandwich is the egg mixture on a toasted 100 calorie deli thin with red onion, tomatoe, and salsa
2. Fish Oil. My husband is trying to add this in to my vitamins, but I think it makes my breath stink.
3. Wild Salmon. We have salmon about 3 times a month.
4. Berries. Just about every day, if its not fresh I put them in a smoothie
5. Yogurt. Daily, in smoothies, for breakfast with granola and berries on top. Heaven.
6. Flax Seeds. I can't eat much flax seed. It gives me bathroom issues.
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil....A little every day.
8. Mixed Nuts. Sone has a tree nut allergy, but when he's not out with me I sometimes have almonds.
9. Red Meat. Protein, about 2-3 times a week. I stick mostly to turkey fish and chicken though.
10. Broccoli. a couple times a week
11. Spinach. a couple times a week on sandwiches instead of lettuce
12. Turkey. About once a day on sandwiches
13. Quinoa. I don't like it, so never.
14. Oats. I use them when I cook. Like in turkey meatloaf and in burgers.
15. Tomatoes. About 4-5 times a week on sandwiches or with cottage cheese for a snack
16. Oranges. I eat grapefruit, but not usually oranges.
17. Apples. usually have daily.
18. Carrots. Usually have daily
19. Water. Everyday
20. Green Tea. Never, but I like black tea a lot if that counts at all.0 -

I eat most of those in my daily health shake. The rest I get on their own. So I think I'm pretty up on this list

I have to question any list that includes red meat as a superfood and feels the need to include water at all (because, you know, you sort of can't survive for more than a few days without that). Still, I'm willing to play along.
1. Whole Eggs - rarely
2. Fish Oil - no, I eat fish
3. Wild Salmon - on and off (I choose my fish by what's on sale, although I always eat wild)
4. Berries - rarely, as I don't like them much (although, when my dad grew them briefly, I was rarely allowed in the field)
5. Yogurt - daily, and Greek
6. Flax Seeds - almost daily, in my oatmeal
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - no, but I have kalamata olives in my lunch every workday
8. Mixed Nuts - almost daily
9. Red Meat - I think I would literally puke if I ate any of that at this point
10. Broccoli - not as much as I used to
11. Spinach - again, not as much as I used to
12. Turkey - fun fact: attempted some at Thanksgiving to appease my aunt; almost puked from the taste alone
13. Quinoa - I trade back and forth between this and brown rice for part of my dinners
14. Oats - almost daily
15. Tomatoes - in my lunch every workday
16. Oranges - daily
17. Apples - daily (I did grow up in an apple orchard, after all)
18. Carrots - in my lunch every workday
19. Water - why is this even on here?
20. Green Tea - rarely, as I prefer black and coffee0 -

Everything except
salmon (too expensive normally :ohwell: )
flax seeds
oranges (too messy & takes me forever to get all the bits out of my teeth
)
turkey: too expensive here. Chicken/fish/kangaroo are my main protein sources.
oh & I use coconut oil not olive oil
I didn't see pop tarts on the list? WTF? :indifferent:0 -

Every day: Whole eggs, berries, yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, oranges, water
Often: Salmon, nuts, broccoli, spinach, oats, tomatoes, apples, carrots
Occasionally: Fish oil, flax seeds, turkey, quinoa, green tea
Never: Red meat
I guess I'm not doing too badly.0 -

1. Whole egg---> 1 a day is fine, and more then that depends on body fat and physique. (Weight gaining, gym activity and daily required intake)
I myself eat 2 whole eggs of egg white, no yolk. Cholesterol is very subject to climb when eating alot of eggs. Trust me. I was on a breakfast ZONE for 3 months, smashing 8-12 eggs a day lol! My blood Cholesterol went to 375. When i chopped out the yolk and just ate whites, i dropped it to 145 in 3 months.
2. Fish Oil---> A definite must! mg intake again, depends on height, weight, etc. Every body is different and requires amounts based on that. Otherwise, you get the fish burps all the time lol! Garlic breath is bad enough, imagine fish breath lol!!
3. Salmon is great, if you can afford to eat it that much! Very expensive cost if eaten regularly.
4. Berries- I don’t eat them, unless they just happen to be laying around on occasion and there is no other snack to eat
5. Yogurt- Not a fan!
6. Flax Seeds- Is a commonly found ingredient in whole wheat bread. Eat your whole wheat bread, and you wont need to eat flax seed raw or ground up. I eat between 7-8 slices of whole wheat bread a week.
The rest of my carbs come from other foods.
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil- Great to take straight, or use in cooking! Definite great flavor on foods, especially when baking sweet potato!
8. Mixed Nuts- Eat 2 tbsp of peanut butter instead. Has less sodium and is good on toast with breakfast!
9. Red Meat- Good if you can afford it also. I eat alot of chicken, drumsticks mainly. At least 12-16 ounces (6-8 drumsticks) a day!
10. Broccoli- No, unless it has hot cheddar on it lol, and that does nto work in my eating so, X-O for no!
11. Spinach- Nope
12.Turkey- Not unless its Thanksgiving, and just a slice is all :-P
13. Quinoa- No?
14. Oats- On occasion if no bread, or brown rice is to be found
15. Tomatoes- Not at all
16. Oranges- No
17. Apples- On occasion if no carbs are near
18. Carrots- No
19. Water- At least 1 gallon-1.5 gallons a day
20. Green Tea-Dont drink much0 -
Good list.0

All but the Salmon, I cannot stomach the taste of anything fishy0
