So yeah, I was checking out earlier what some "brain food" for my upcoming exams was and I got side-tracked and came up with this thread idea. Which will help me pass said exams brilliantly.

When you're deciding on something to eat, be it a snack or a meal, do you tend to go for what tastes the best or what has the best nutritional value?

Tastes best lol. Today I have had a waffle with whipped cream and syrup, 2 slices of rocky road, 2 lemon slices, 4 apples and custard pastries, a can of soft drink, chips, 3 large fried dumplings and no greens. I just never put on weight so i don't care about nutritional value normally. I haven't put on a kilo for a few years now. I burn everything off though, im super active. I'm going hiking tomorrow though so probably wasnt the best food choices.

I tend to go for fruit, moreover vegetables or junk.
It tastes just as good as junk food, but it's more healthier.

Definitely nutritional value! Nutrition is a lot more important than taste imo.

Taste, without a doubt. I live on a diet of mostly burgers, fried chicken, fries, and other fatty greasy meat products.

Nutrition? What's that?

I go for taste. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I go for unhealthy food or junk food all the time. Food can taste great and have good nutritional value. I like to maintain a balanced diet, so at times I might prefer something that tastes great, whereas sometimes I like to go for nutrition.

After all the weight I gained this semester, I'm doing what I did before to lost weight -- still eat tasty stuff, just less of it. Plus my mom's a great cook, so since I'm home for the summer she'll give me some tasty nutritional food.

I usually go for both, but taste just sounds much better. I don't care if it's a bazillion chocolates. :P

Taste before Nutrition. Always.

I'm not a junk food junkie though. When given the choice between a healthy meal and one consisting of junk, I'll go for the healthiest option usually. I simply won't eat something I cannot bear the taste of though. If possible I will go for what is healthiest and tastes best, but not always. It depends on my mood, and I'm not a health nut anyways.

Taste usually. If something tastes crap, I won't eat it - but I don't just eat anything (anymore), I'll at least try to hold myself back from all the junk lol

Taste. I don't even bother looking for nutritional content most of the time. Admittedly I need to keep better watch of what I'm eating. I eat waaaaaay too much junk food, especially sweets. :/

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I go for taste. I really, really need to start watching what I eat to make sure it's nutritional because I've been putting a lot of crap in my system, but I've just never gotten around to it. I always go "well, I'll start next week". :P

I usually go for the Taste of food. I don't care if it'll make me fat, all that matters that it tastes nice. A few year sago this would be the reverse, as I always went for the healthier option when the was a chance, probably because I was fat.

This is easy for me. Taste! I don't really gain wait and I jump around so much I get enough exersize and I don't really care if what I'm eating is bad.

I go for taste all the time :3 I never really take note of the nutritional value.
