QUOTE(awesome me)
Not to be a health f****t or anything but my family kinda started heading in the direction of actually reading nutrition labels and shit so I decided it couldn't hurt to jump on with them and I've been watching what I eat for the most part. When I go out I don't really pay attention, but when at home I figure I might as well eat what's healthy. When you're in control of what goes into your food and drinks it's pretty easy to avoid loads of sugar / bad fats and focus on more important nutrients to consume. If you do it right you can make it taste just fine, too. Fruits and vegetables if prepared properly can be added into almost everything and add flavor to everything.


Got me thinking. Do you watch what you eat? Do you avoid specific things (carbs, fats, sugars, sodiu, etc)?

i don't really watch what i eat. i was talking about this with rik not that long ago. i feel like i'm going to be screwed whenever i get older and my metabolism slows down. i eat pretty good because i cook and my girlfriend cooks, so i eat balanced. i don't eat a ton of junk because i don't feel like it usually/buy a lot of it. i'd usually rather have a steak than a bag of chips. if i am in the mood to eat unhealthy stuff i will though without much guilt since i don't really ever gain weight. basically i'm saying i eat more healthy/well balanced food just because it's what i like to eat, not really because of the desire to be healthy. i think if i felt more consequences to my eating then i would care more about watching what i eat.

that. i don't watch what i eat, ever. the only other times i read the ingredients just for fun, checking out the E numbers curiously. i probably should start soon in case i become a fat ass later in life.
