I try and hit 45% carbs, 30% protein, and 25% fats in my diet currently, but overall.. I place more importance on micronutrients than macros. I tend to struggle with hitting my protein goals but I get more than enough to stay healthy. I eat a lot of fruit and veg, too, especially leafy greens and things high in fiber. I add seeds, nuts, and beans (and peas) to my diet, too (and I feel weird if I don't have some sort of form of them on some day), but I think I wouldn't be able to get enough protein from them alone without massively overeating. I don't have a lot of red meat, but I like poultry and fish. And I pretty much always have spinach to make sure I am getting enough iron.. and it helps that chocolate helps :P.. I do throw in some cocoa-nibs in my yogurt in the morning. I tried eating raw but I find it gives me digestive issues and a lot of bloating. As a further explanation, partially uncooked eggs (soft boiled, for example) gives me horrible gas, and even raw carrots can sometimes feel like they sit like a rock in my stomach, so I reduce the consumption of them or make sure to cook them thoroughly. Recently I've been trying to incorporate some pineapple in my diet because of the digestive enzyme in pineapple to help break down food. I'll have to see in a few weeks how I feel from that.
I generally try and stay healthy. That being said, I did have a few lemon loacker biscuits tonight with some cheese and peanut butter and honey.. (:P.. at least the PB and honey are organic lol!) But it was a bit of overindulgence.. Oops :P..
Food and nutrition really fascinates me.. and while I'm not in any way an orthorexic eater (obsessed with clean eating) I love sharing my knowledge of nutrition and I love discovering new dishes and cuisines of the world~ :3
How about you??
