PUT THAT DOWN, THAT'S NOT HEALTHY.

Do you eat healthy?
I know for sure I get enough fruit, and maybe enough water. But I'm not sure about the other stuff, though.
I guess I eat relatively healthy.

Too many carbs and meat for me. I need more fruits and veggies, but I hate them so unless they're actually cooked in a dish (save for apples).

Although I remain relatively healthy...I'm not fat, or skinny....just kind of meh

I eat a ton of fast food lol I usually go to McDonald's or BK everyday after basketball practice. But I also have like two of those V8 things a day (taste like poop).

Gitominoti · February 16, 2009, 05:53:41 PM

Hell no :P I eat constantly, and it's never healthy stuff either. I only get my dairy/grains regularly, and I only occasionally get my veggies/meats

I barely eat more than twice a day, though its usually nothing bad for you.

No I do not. I'll probably die early.

Java · February 16, 2009, 06:31:14 PM

I try to.
I don't get enough fruits or vegetables though.

Not really. I eat mostly college cafeteria food, not much fruit. I also eat a lot of junk food. I'd like to eat healthier, but...meh.

NO. I have coke for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus whenever other time I want one.
And I eat junk food. IT ALL TASTES SO GOOD ;-;

Kilroy · February 16, 2009, 07:20:56 PM

Hell no >_>

Junk food is too delicious D:

Link3588 · February 16, 2009, 07:41:30 PM

I either eat a lot or almost nothing. Often I have to skip eating in the morning because I wake up late and I don't usually have money for lunch either. I know its bad for me but I just can't seem to get around it.

Most of the time I eat healthy, but usually every day after school I'll go eat some fast food with friends.

You're going to become Mr. Boomer if you aren't careful about your diet.

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it's about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible – all which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and incorporating them in a way that works for you.

Choose the types of foods that improve your health and avoid the types of foods that raise your risk for such illnesses as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Expand your range of healthy choices to include a wide variety of delicious foods. Learn to use guidelines and tips for creating and maintaining a satisfying, healthy diet.

Eat enough calories but not too many. Maintain a balance between your calorie intake and calorie expenditure—that is, don't eat more food than your body uses. The average recommended daily allowance is 2,000 calories, but this depends on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity.

Eat a wide variety of foods. Healthy eating is an opportunity to expand your range of choices by trying foods—especially vegetables, whole grains, or fruits—that you don't normally eat.

Keep portions moderate, especially high-calorie foods. In recent years serving sizes have ballooned, particularly in restaurants. Choose a starter instead of an entrée, split a dish with a friend, and don't order supersized anything.

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes—foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat, and free of cholesterol. Try to get fresh, local produce

Drink more water. Our bodies are about 75% water. It is a vital part of a healthy diet. Water helps flush our systems, especially the kidneys and bladder, of waste products and toxins. A majority of Americans go through life dehydrated.

Limit sugary foods, salt, and refined-grain products. Sugar is added to a vast array of foods. In a year, just one daily 12-ounce can of soda (160 calories) can increase your weight by 16 pounds. See suggestions below for limiting salt and substituting whole grains for refined grains.

Don't be the food police. You can enjoy your favorite sweets and fried foods in moderation, as long as they are an occasional part of your overall healthy diet. Food is a great source of pleasure, and pleasure is good for the heart – even if those French fries aren't!

Get moving. A healthy diet improves your energy and feelings of well-being while reducing your risk of many diseases. Adding regular physical activity and exercise will make any healthy eating plan work even better.

One step at a time. Establishing new food habits is much easier if you focus on and take action on one food group or food fact at a time.
