r/CleanEating

Made this and it’s so pretty I don’t even want to eat it!

My 2nd attempt

First day of clean eating. How did I do?

Salmon, steamed spinach with grape tomatoes and plain mashed potatoes.

Chicken Tortilla with a Fresh Salad

Baked chicken meatballs in a soy-teriyaki sauce, white rice, and a fresh cucumber salad.

Asparagus, rice and grilled octopus. A Mediterranean style.

Been a lurker and wanted to participate! This is my meal prep dinner for the week. Cubed baked chicken breast, white rice, avocado and cottage cheese. I mixed cucumber and tomato and put some lime juice and salt on it. Dressing is a Greek yogurt dressing with lime, cilantro, and seasonings. Plus some cholula hot sauce drizzled on top. 👌

(ignore my thumb in one of the photos… it was before I quit biting my nails so it’s bitten to a nub 🥲)

Hi all! Would appreciate some feedback on the foods I usually eat. These are some examples of meals I make for myself. I try and eat whole foods, little to no refined sugar, I LOVE all veggies so eat tons of them. Minimal dairy except for Greek yogurt, kefir sometimes, and cottage cheese. I eat lots of fermented stuff - pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut. My favourite proteins are ground beef, ground chicken/turkey, steak (not shown, either ribeye or flank, I eat at least once a week), tofu, or beans. For carbohydrates I usually like potatoes, wild rice, couscous, barley. For breakfast Ill have cold brew, hard boiled egg, maybe some fruit, and or skyr or yogurt.

I’ve lost about 35 lbs in the past ~2 years naturally and seem to now be at maintenance (ie will not lose more weight unless I start focusing more intentionally on a deficit). I’ve have a chronic illness since forever, which I used to take very aggressive immunotherapy for. I have now put it in remission, have extremely low inflammation markers, and am on basically the lightest medication/dose and everything is working. Minimal pain, no stiffness, I can be active for long periods nowadays. All of my bloodwork (which I get every 3 ish months for my condition) is great. I’m happier, more energetic, and have a much healthier relationship with food.

I don’t really track calories but generally have a rough ish estimate most of the time. I don’t strictly avoid anything!

Beef ( lol I like to add sour cream sometimes , not the best idea but it gets me through) rice , broccoli, cauliflower and sweet potato 🤤
