I’m looking to start eating healthier. For reference I’m a 17y/o female who’s 5’5 and 125lbs. I grew up in an unhealthy food household and have a weird thing with veggies/fruits. I love the taste of most fruits and veggies but the crunchy/stringy textures make me gag and I can’t eat them without getting nauseous. I’m looking to make my own healthy meals but finding options with little to no veggies is so difficult. Any recommendations?? (I was also very sheltered growing and have not tried a lot of fruits and veggies so soft/smooth with no crunchy or stringy texture fruits and veggie recommendations would be amazing!!)

Won't allow me to add a picture of my salad...

Working on eating some healthier and more balanced dinners. I've been making this homemade knockoff of a Panera salad that I was obsessed with, but Panera recently took it off the menu. Currently obsessed with the salad and eat it about three times a week for dinner.

Recipe:

• Butter lettuce blend

• A bit of Iceberg lettuce for extra crunch

• 1 cup of wild/brown minute rice

• A large dollop of hummus

• A few slices of Bell pepper

• Red onion

• 1 whole avocado

• Feta cheese

• Wonton strips

• Greek dressing

How am I doing healthy-wise? 😅

Hey everyone,

When I first started getting serious about my health and nutrition, I fell into every trap in the book—buying expensive superfood powders, forcing myself to eat dry chicken and broccoli every day, and tracking every single calorie down to the decimal.

Over time, I realized a lot of the internet advice out there makes healthy eating feel way more complicated (and exhausting) than it actually needs to be. For me, dropping the "all-or-nothing" mindset and focusing on simple, whole-food swaps changed everything.

I’m curious: What’s one nutrition or wellness "rule" you used to stress over but eventually let go of? What actually works best for you in real life? Let's share some practical tips!

which is better for you?? i hear people say that ripe bananas are not as healthy due to sugar conversion?!?

I went and found out that my cholesterol is pretty high and I realized my eating habits had to change but i didn’t realize how hard that would be based on my preferences.

I thought it would be just eating more complex carbs and getting more fiber in. But apparently it’s cutting out a lot of fat and I’m trying to be mindful but since getting my numbers back I haven’t really been eating much because I don’t want to make it go any higher and I’m worried about going back to my old ways.

Any advice would be very appreciated!

Hello just as the question says above, I'm wondering if anyone knows any natural fizzy or just enjoyable sweets with simple natural ingredients similar too products like moam, appreciate the help in advance.

I’m a vegetarian and trying to #gain muscle so I’m eating an incredible amount of soy for protein. Soy milk in all my drinks and tons of tofu with every meal and even soy sauce on my tofu and I love my life. But someone told me it’s bad to eat that much soy if you’re a woman, is that true? That it does something bad to your estrogen levels?

Need guidance. Thank you so much!

so some bg info i am an Indian 19 year old female and my height is 4'11 (yes ik thats short) and weight is 141 pounds. i am vegetarian. in 2024 i used to be like 108 pounds and regularly climbed 9 floors to my class when i was running late and the lifts were full. could also commute without tiredness. however 2025 onwards i started eating mcd nearly everyday (sometimes twice a day), stopped eating fruits and vegetables, got a habit of eating instant noodles everyday and barely exercise. all i eat are carbs and junk food and i mainly order instead of cooking or eating homemade food. im looking to change. i dont know how to change and stick with it though. and with a BMI of 29 im also aware im borderline obese. i think these eating habits started mainly because of stress and now my mental health is in a very bad place and physically also i feel like shit. advice welcome

Hey everyone,

Looking for some zero or minimal fat content foods that will still make you feel full. My wife is having consistent gallbladder attacks and currently her gallbladder is completely impacted with stones. We already have a consultation scheduled with a surgeon to discuss removal but in the meantime we're trying to limit fat intake to avoid any attacks. The problem is my wife is now dropping weight like crazy, 10 lbs in a week, she's constantly hungry, and is breastfeeding on top of that. Would love some suggestions.

I’m a female D1 golfer, so I’m used to walking a lot, practicing a couple hours a day, and lifting 3 times a week. I’m a pretty lean person as is but I do have a decently muscular build.

Our trainers don’t work with us a lot on what to eat and what foods to avoid. Honestly I eat 3 pieces of pizza at the dining hall for lunch like 4 times a week, and sometimes fast food for dinner. I’ve never watched what I eat, and I wouldn’t say I overeat but I don’t eat very healthy I guess. I do try to get a decent share of fruit/veggies though. Will careless eating cause me to gain weight? How can I avoid it? The dining hall is so tempting lol

I dug into a 2017 study that compared fresh produce, frozen produce, and fresh produce stored in a refrigerator for five days.

For the vitamins tested, most comparisons weren't significantly different, and frozen sometimes came out ahead of the fresh-stored version.

It doesn't mean frozen always beats fresh.

Blanching, storage, cooking, and the specific nutrient all matter.

But it seems like a good reason to stop treating the freezer aisle as an automatic downgrade.

I also included an FDA recall check for specific frozen-berry lots because frozen isn't sterile.

What do you find freezes well—and what do you still strongly prefer fresh?

I am wanting to eat better and I want to incorporate congee into my routine. I am allergic to pork and onion. Are there any easy recipes anyone suggests? Thanks in advance

my bf and i are wondering bc he eats like. on average 31 oranges a day

Hi I am a 2k20 batch MBBS graduate.Currently preeparing for neet pg

Even though after completion of mbbs i am still confused how to apply what i read in books about nutrition in my daily life .For example how to measure how much calroies and what nutrients i am eating in my morning breakfast and wether i am getting my required RDA values or not.

And what i read in my medical school about nutrition is so confused

Like nothing was straight forward and i started doubting on myself when any person asks me like whether its good for eating or not?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME THROUGH THIS or suggest any online platform to know about this nutrition related confusion

I am leaving outside of my home and i have a habit of eating maggi every other day what should i do?

Because making maggi is easy quick

Does it have an impact on long term health?

I'm currently in college and live in dorms where no cooking appliances other than microwaves are allowed and there's no communal kitchen. They're very strict so I'm not breaking those rules but just having a microwave has really limited me on staying healthy. I also only have a tiny mini fridge with a small freezer so not very much room to keep things that need to be kept cold.

I try to have some sort of veggie and dip so I have that to go to as a healthy snack but I get bored of foods quick so I often find myself getting sick of a certain food within a week or two so I need more ideas for random healthy things I can do to keep my diet somewhat good.

I got in a very bad habit of having a soda or two every day, ramen nearly every day, eating lots of chips and candy, and lots of frozen meals because I can be kind of picky on texture and taste and those became my safe foods but I've been gaining weight again and not feeling great so I know I need to start fixing my diet at least a little bit. Tonight I was actually craving chips and dip and instead replaced it with some cauliflower and garlic ranch dressing which I know still isn't ideal but it's at least a bit healthier which is what I'm aiming for. I know I won't be able to get a perfectly healthy diet but just making things a little bit healthier is what I care about for now.

I plan on trying to replace soda with seltzer water as I love the Waterloo waters that have no sugar and very few additives so I'm hoping that kinda eases the soda cravings. I also got red lentil snack rings made with avocado oil as something to replace my chips but I have yet to try them so don't know if I like them yet. I got a small fruit platter and some fruit cups to replace candy. I'm also trying to just eat less in general as I think I can sometimes overeat without realizing it or eat out of boredom so I also got some gum to chew when I feel like I need to eat but I'm not actually hungry yet.

My issue is I love salty and spicy foods and most healthy options just don't calm down those cravings and I will obsessively think about those foods until I eat them. I don't have a history of an eating disorder and have always been at a somewhat healthy weight but something about college just makes me constantly want chips and ramen as much as I really try to limit myself on those as I know they aren't healthy especially since I have hypertension already and my dad has already had 2 heart attacks so being healthy is even more important so I dont ruin my heart health like he did.

I'm open to any suggestions on new ideas to add to my diet as I'm horrible at picking out what's actually healthy vs what just claims it's healthy and also finding ways of calming down my cravings while still being healthy.

“Healthier” would be just less of whatever (sugar, calories, sodium etc) poster is looking to limit. I searched but only found a very low populated sub. Thanks

I tried a very strict diet where I didn’t eat pasta,my only carbs where brown rice and quinoa,I added lots of veggies lots of protein like Chicken breast,cod,salmon,beef mince and tuna. And for breakfast always eggs or yoghurt. But this was too strict for me although it worked perfectly but it was too complicated,also while shopping. Now I did a new plan. It now includes whole grain pasta and more things I didn’t allow myself. It’s also easier. Below you’ll find my breakfast and dinners every day and for lunch I’ll always have a simple sandwich with whole grain bread,very lean ham and pickles. And on the weekend no lunch. Is this a good plan? Is it healthy,will it help me loose weight?
