I will try eating oranges next time. Also does gatorade powder replenish just as good? .... My mom is saying she thinks the ingredient list might be longer on the powder which would mean more additives - not sure about that last one though we'll have to compare...

thanks again 83msg1sttyme !

Good stuff there y'all. A couple additions, if I may:

Most the goodies found in fish (the omegas and whatnot) are also available in seaweed and in flax seeds. Incidentally, seaweed can be prepared in a variety of tasty ways.

"Living" food is insanely healthy; stuff like tempeh, miso, yogurt and kefir, and kombucha are all fermented and waaaaay fucking good for the belly, replenishing all the flora in yer intestines (which is where nutrients are absorbed).

I like to sprout beans and seeds cuz it's easy and soooo good and filling. Most the time hunger is not an empty belly, but the body's craving for nutrients. Think about it, one sprouted bean has ALL the nutrients of the ENTIRE PLANT! Pretty hip stuff there. Try sprouting broccoli seeds and/or popcorn!

I always bring a lot of what called "superfoods" when I tour. Stuff like bee pollen, pure cocoa nibs (100%), spirulina and the like. Kinda stereotypical hippie shit minus the granola. They're called "superfoods" cuz they are really high in nutrients that are concentrated and immediately usable for the body. And if you can ever find "Manna Bread," wow, it is the shit.

one container contains enough powder to make several gallons of gatorade ,the ingredients are Sucrose,dextrose,citric acid,natural flavors salt sodium citrate monopotassium phospate calcium silcate coconut oil bromated vegtable oil.gatorade is for replenshing electrolytes and rehydrate fast .it has lots of carbs from the sugars so water is preferred but after working out,sports or booging down at a show a cold gatorade hits the spot

I don't know. I think 2 eggs a week as an entree dish is the max I would eat. If you want to eat more, take out the yolks (like one yolk in a 2 egg omelet).

And you shouldn't be eating canned anything... canned food is nasty stuff and the tuna has tons of mercury and other heavy metals in it.

And also watch your supplements- do not eat more than 100% of your daily intake of iodine. There's absolutely no reason for it. I have graves disease and I've read horror stories about people (women mostly) who want to loose weight, so they take supplements with 1,000% of your intake in iodine. THe iodine gets absorbed into your thyroid and the thyroid uses the iodine to create the hormones that will kick start your metabolism. The problem is they can develop a permenantly hyperthyroid, which I have (mine's genetic, though). So read the labels.

And I'd add start looking at the labels. If something small has 10 grams of sugar in it- like an "energy bar" skip it... those are simply sugar bars.

And the OP skips carbs. We need carbs... just the right kind and the right amount. Cutting them out entirely will mean you have no energy to work out. Bicyclsits carb load before long rides (and hydrate) or they won't make it. They carb load for at least 3 days.

i eat oatmeal with a piece of fruit and some raisins everymorning. That instant shit is loaded with sugar.

heres another one in PA certain stores reward you for being a loyal customer for every $50 bucks they take 10 cents off a gallon of gas the money accumulates for several months if you want i once got 1.80 off a gallon .Price chopper does this they also sell gift cards for other store like lowes home depot so you buy the cards at PC get the discount on gas use the cards,you would spend the money anyway on DYI projects,also you can pay with a credit card that pays you back,several cards give you from 1-5% back on purchases ,just pay the bill in full or it defeats the purpose,i have been doing this for years it works

Our grocery does gas points too!! Ours work $100 for $0.10 off gas

Eggs were heavily consumed in place of meat in my immigrant family - just more affordable for them. On both sides, most lived well into their late 90's. We all ate probably about 3-4 eggs per person per day! Right through the 80's eggs are bad for you scare, my family basically lived on eggs!

avoid cheap peanut butter,read the label if its hydrogenated oil dont buy it,get PB made from ground peanuts smuckers,crazy richards are 2 of my faves its more than the skippy or jif but way better for you and travels well .2 slices of whole grain bread some real PB and real jam is a very good/healthy lunch that doesnt need refrigeration and keeps you full longer

We have been getting into sprouted grains/beans. Like 83 said stay away from hydrogenated oils..no bueno..high fructose corn syrup ect...

@ abba Amercians lack of understanding of what they are ingesting as food is what is the saddest part, I love that nice work.

Also to everyone else thnaks for demonstrating that we "heads" are above the curve in what we eat and how much we understand the importance.

Nice jobs everone truly positive thread.

I live off Ramen Noodles, McDonalds and Busch Light

If you want to skip the meat- just make sure to combine a veggie protein with a carb to make a complete protein-
beans & rice
tofu & quinoa
etc.

I stay away from boca burgers or any of that frozen fake meat - that stuff is highly processed and has Hidden msg in it.
