suggestions? what do YOU eat that's healthy and easy to prepare/cook?

I eat an orange and a banana. some cornflakes.
Later I go get junk food.
Sometimes I make soup, with potatoes and carrots.

But mostly I eat what I enjoy eating. I mean, if I eat healthy, I might live longer, but what's the point in living longer if you can't enjoy your food?

Oranges.

I am getting sick of them.

I'm trying to eat healthy this week, and i'm currently munching on a carrot.

crunch.

It's not fun

Stop copying me

Fresh veggies. I am never without a bag of carrots. Snap peas are good for a snack too, but I don't do them as much.
If I crave sweets I try to go for fresh fruits.
Low fat/low sugar yogurt is good too, but doesn't always fill me up. I just like getting the calcium and cultures.

Awww...but it's so much fun, Spatsy!

PS - I'm officially back on the healthy kick again.

ugh.


But it's good for me.


I've managed to maintain my loss of 3 clothing sizes I went down last year. So now I'm trying to lose 3 more.


Here's hoping.

Falafel!



Yogurt, fruit or popcorn are my major snacks.

applekisses said:

I'm not sure how healthy falafel is, with all the rest of the ingredients. And the fact it's deep fried in oil.

I love most fruits, and a sallad now and then, but only as a snack, between junk food meals.

ItsOnlyMe said:

Actually, I think it's probably not very healthy - but oh man, sooooo delicious

We've found a place in Toronto that makes them like in Israel. but it's still not as good as some places. There's one in Jerusalem that is considered the best.

GREEN MACHINE NAKED JUICE!!!

best snack you could have!

yogurt w/ blueberries

banana chips from TJ's (not healthy necessarily but better than regular chips)

I like dried fruit despite the sugar

ItsOnlyMe said:

spent a year in Israel and lived off falafel and schwarma. Can't really get it outside of London here

Obviously fruit,
Nuts (natural, not salted!) full of protein and essential fatty acids
Seeds too, u can get them at health food stores. So many to choose from and are great for u.
raw carrots

Honestly?

Mustard lettuce and pickle sanwiches are a girls best friend.

Wrap a pickle and mustard in some lettuce and there ya go!

Kimchi.. and other spicy pickled vegetables

thank you everyone!
