Hi.
Could I see an example of a day's diet of those who eat clean. (By that I mean no processed foods, adde sugars etc. I don't mean too strictly clean) For example your breakfast, lunch, dinner and how many cals around?
THANKS.:happy: would be REALLY appreciated....

    I only ask as I struggle to get enough when doing so, wondering whether i'm missing something.
    Right now mine looks like this;
    Breakfast - plain greek yoghurt and oats
    Lunch - chicken or tofu spinach salad
    Dinner - fish or meat with veg and sweet potato or brown rice
    Snacks of - nuts, fruit and homemade hummus or pnut butter, eggs.

    Sounds excellent actually.

    not sure if cheese or oils count as "clean" by your definition of cleaning eating, but you can make up a nice salad with cheese and olive-oil based dressing and that will help bridge the gap if you're concerned about too few calories.

    It seems like you do great. :-O If you're concerned about getting enough then look up the new vegetarian food pyramid. Im not a vegetarian. But I wish I could follow that recommended diet. They say to follow it and make sure you get enough iron and b vitamins.

    You can have a look at mine (skip this past Saturday :P).

    I'm mostly Paleo/Primal, but basically try to eat as minimally processed as possible - though I do have some mayo and ketchup on my burgs, haha. (I guess it depends on your definition of clean)

    Here is my sample diet that I give to people when they ask me what i 'usually' eat on a daily basis

    Breakfast - 4 egg whites, 2 whole eggs (scrambled with 1 table spoon of olive oil) + 100g sweet potato (steamed)
    Lunch - 150g chicken breast (grilled with 1 table spoon of olive oil), 150g broccoli, 100g sweet potato (steamed)
    Dinner - 100g turkey mince, 1 tomato, cup of spinach, garlic
    Post workout - 2 scoops of whey protein, 1 banana, 1 table spoon of peanut butter
    Snacks - 1 ounce of almonds

    Clean to me is healthy essential fatty acids (olive oil, peanut butter, almonds)
    Lean Protein - some lean chicken breast, turkey breast/mince, good cut of steak
    Vegetables - all of them, but i prefer broccoli, asparagus and spinach
    Fibrous Carbs - sweet potatos is my absolute favorite, i'm not carb conscious at all, but sweet potatos is my preferred source of carbs, i do eat brown rice and whole grain toast and such as well AND BEANS/LEGUMES love them. I tend to stay away from refined processed flour based carbs such as pasta and white bread. WHITE RICE IS NOT THAT BAD PEOPLE
    Supplements - good old whey protein, fish oil and a fat burner (not for everyone)
