I know that one member here has a set amount she eats everyday..Does anyone else..
Are there any that you NEVER eat for whatever reason..
I am thinking that wild salmon will be expensive and I would not know what to do with it...
Luckily, I live in the Pacific Northwest so I can get fresh wild salmon fairly reasonably. If you're interested in a less expensive option, you can get canned wild-caught salmon that is actually pretty good - I make salmon salad with it (like tuna salad!).
Super foods I eat all the time (maybe not EVERY day, but A LOT)
Tea - almost 100% every day
Spinach or other leafy green - it's a goal to eat at least 1 serving of leafy greens every day, I'm pretty good at meeting this goal
Carrots/tomatoes - I take a bag of vegetables to work every day as a snack (carrots/sugar snap peas/grape tomatoes/pepper strips)
Walnuts - I eat natural peanut butter every day on my toast and I try to put walnuts or almonds on my salads
Whole grains (oats) - either whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat pita, quinoa, oatmeal - at least one serving a day, everyday
Oranges - right now it's tangelo season, my absolute favorite. I eat one orange a day.
Berries - every morning for a snack! I kind of rotate between blackberries/strawberries and blueberries. Gets tougher in the winter when they are so spendy, I eat frozen blueberries then
Onions/garlic - every day
Olive oil - almost every day
beans - every day with sugar snap peas, I eat a lot of lentil soup for lunches or put chickpeas on my salad
Super foods I eat less often
Broccoli - still not a fan of raw broccoli, steamed is good. If it's on a salad bar, I always take a few (even if they are raw), I try to add them to all my stir fries
Yogurt - I love yogurt, but I got kind of "yogurted" out for awhile, need to make an effort, for the longest time I had one every day, needed a break
Pumpkin - Never I love sweet potatoes, but I liked the baked the best and they take SO LONG to cook. I try to eat other orange vegetables at least once a day so at least the group is represented. I also try to add sweet potatoes if I can (like in the roasted vegetables I made for dinner last night). I was roasting butternut squash and eating it with a tbs of pumpkin butter every night for a snack, I should do that again
Turkey - not a huge fan, occasionally eat turkey sandwiches (especially when I get burnt out on the salad bar)
Soy - once a week, usually
Salmon - I love it, but I hardly ever make it at home, I try to eat it at least once a week
Apples - they weren't in the first super food book, so I got kind of snobby about apples (oh - JUST apples), trying to eat them more
Pomegranates - LOVE LOVE, I eat them every day when they are in season
chocolate - let's face it, I can rarely be trusted. About once a week
Avocado - once a week, I usually hit Chipotle/Qdoba and get guacamole, love the stuff, would eat it a lot more. I should start adding slices to sandwiches, salads
Honey - rarely...love it, every now and then add a tablespoon to tea. I like the taste of tea plain though, and don't want to set off big sugar cravings
Wow..Glory..Thank you..
And yea you are lucky to live in the northwest..But not jsut for the salmon!
I used to live on the Oregon coast...
Oh I miss it...Nowhere else quite like it...
Anyway...You are soooo very inspiring....I appreciate your advice and also your very detailed description on your weight loss journey.

Not so much... pomegranates, they're expensive and I'm not sure I really like them, beans, not really sure what to do with them at all! Oh apart from Chickpeas - I like hummous and roasted chickpeas
Every day I eat onion and garlic.
Most days - olive oil, yogurt
5 x a week - cauliflower, soy, chicken breast
3 - 4x a week - asparagus, brussel sprouts, broccoli, spinach, strawberries
2x a week - carrots, tomatoes
1 x a week - salmon, avacado, hummus (chickpeas)
Which superfoods do you eat everyday?
I love sweet potatoes, but I liked the baked the best and they take SO LONG to cook. I try to eat other orange vegetables at least once a day so at least the group is represented.
