What kind of diet/nutrition do you have?
So I was just curious how my fellow stoners approach diet and nutrition. erm.... yeah I'm a stoner again, lol. I only smoke little bits about once-twice a week, no need for more, but it's enjoyable as long as I do it no more that. Anywhoo...
I'm pretty obsessive about the nutrition. I check the nutrients on all the packaged food I eat and make sure everything's balanced out. It's really not as difficult as it sounds, it's just become habbit and I don't feel like it's a burden at all.
I mainly eat fruits and vegetables. Veggies have their own unique nutrients, so they're important, but IMO fruits kick-ass because they have tonnes of energy in them too and lots of nutrients. So they're my main foods. Otherwise I have one serving of carbohydrates (usually rice, potatoes, or oats since I'm gluten-intollerant), and one or two servings of proteins (bacon and eggs, chicken, salmon). So far this type of diet has been perfect for me.
In the way of vitamins, I take 400IU Vitamin-E a day with 3-4 grams Vitamin-C throughout the day. I've done plenty of research on the subject and that much C is quite good for you, not at all as extreme as it may seem. Sadly, the FDA Recommended VC dose is based on having enough to avoid scurvey, that's about it.

I have a hard time swallowing the supplements I want to take since they are in huge pills. But on average this is my daily diet.
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bread, 3 suasage links, 1-2 cups of tea.
Lunch: 1 sandwhich, 1 glass of gatorade/powerade, 1 serving of a random fruit.
Snack: Banana,pear, or apple.
Lunch: 1 plate of rice,beans,meat,etc, 1 cup of soda, and maybe something like corn.
Through out the day I drink about 6 bottles of water. I dunno how healthy my diet is but I try to homecooked food, and pretty much stopped eating fast food.

It's not perfect, but overall pretty healty so I wouldn't worry too much man. My diet isn't exactly perfect either since when I smoke I get ravenous munchies and start buying candy and chocolate and everthing else delicious lol.

Yeah before I was NOT eating balanced whatsoever. When I get the munchies now I try to eat something healthier instead of the usual junk food. Apples are a good munchie food for me. In general I use to barely eat fruits/vegetables but now I try to atleast eat 1-2 servings of fruit a day and I actually feel healthier. Hard to explain, but just over-all my eating habits have changed enough to make me feel healthier.

Interestingly enough, I discovered that the apples we're always told to eat for "good nutrition", are in fact (almost) nutritionally empty! But they're still worth eating for their high anti-oxidant and fiber content.

I'm in a 6-meal, eat anything relatively healthy diet. No soda, no sweets.
It's actually quite hard to eat alot and keep up with it.

I was vegan for the past three years, and then i ate a double cheeseburger. I try to maintain good health but its getting damn expensive. One day it will be the dollar menu and ramen, the next it will be avacado and taboule.

Six meals a day is so much better for you than 3 when you cut the sizes in half.
i try to put a little something in my body every two hours to keep my metabolism running throughout the day.
its better to throw tiny sticks on the fire rather than dropping huge logs on it.

That's true. In my case, I'm dropping huge logs everytime, In 2 months, all I have to show for it is 9 pounds, I'm up to 162 now. All muscle though, I got my my body fat measured at 6.4%. It's going to take forever to get back to what I once was at 180.

My natural eating style is to eat about five small meals per day. Just seems to work better that way. That makes it harder for me to keep weight on, however, and I struggle with that.
I eat a well-balanced diet with good nutrition. But thanks to my messed up insides, I don't absorb all the nutrients I take in. I had a bad ruptured appendix about 18 years ago that left me with peritonitis that required cleanout surgery to remove the bottom end of my stomach and almost half of my small intestines in two different sections. So I run short of calcium, iron, B12 and several other things. I take supplements, but without the part of your insides that absorb those nutrients, they still don't do much good. The good thing is I'll never struggle with being overweight, but there's danger in being too thin, too, and with even minimal stress or health problems, I tend to drop more weight. That's not good, as some of you know, for my heart electricity.
Lately because I'm in relaxed summer-break mode, I've been eating less healthily. I do fine during the day, but then at night I'll tiptoe into the kitchen and start nipping at Doritos with ranch dip (last night) or peanut butter cookies (tonight). I'm chasing those with a diet orange soda. I could definitely be doing better. . . .

food was once a dreaded issue, seeming remedied only by tons of excercise
the zone book written by sears remedied the food enigma 11 years ago
