Instead, start to learn about what foods contain what vitamins/minerals, and plan your meals around hitting recommended or better levels of all the main nutrients. If you want to know what those are, just read the back of your vitamin bottle.

This will force you to eat more unprocessed food and healthy shit that you might normally pass on. Tons of fresh vegetables, lean meat, seafood, nuts, eggs, all the shit you should be eating anyway. Getting enough zinc and Bs will force you to eat generous portions of quality meat and eggs. And feel free to go nuts with vitamins A and C. Shoot for a 300-400% of suggested daily dosage minimum in your diet. Those numbers are very easy to hit if you just eat freshly prepared greens and cruciferous vegetables with 1-2 meals every day. Start paying attention to stuff like selenium, manganese, copper, vitamin D, folate and so on.

If you start looking at eating as balanced nourishment instead of just trying to count calories and macros, you're going to end up eating a lot better, and you will look and feel better. Here is shit you should be eating all the time:

1. Eggs, but not by the dozen. Nature's vitamin. It's very difficult to get a sufficient amount of choline if you don't include whole eggs in your diet. Also the easiest source for vitamin D aside from fish, and grain-fed chicken eggs are best source of vitamin E for most people.

2. Lean beef and chicken. Filled with tons of shit that is hard to get in quantity from other dietary sources.

3. Seafood. Salmon, sardines, and other coldwater fish, oysters, shrimp, scallops, crab, whatever. This is some of the best protein out there, it's low cal, and highly nourishing.

4. Greens of all types, take them down by the pound. Learn how to steam or gently saute spinach, kales, chards, collard greens, turnip greens, arugula, mustard greens, whatever. Throw in sauteed garlic and onions, bell peppers, whatever you want. Nutritional powerhouses. Start ignoring lettuce and eat more exotic cabbages. You want real DENSITY.

5. All the other cruciferous vegetables by the pound. You really don't need to worry about fruits except to the extent that you like eating them if you take in #4 and #5 in quantity. If you like eating fruit, consider that stuff like mangos or kiwis provide a lot more nutrition per calorie than just wolfing down apple and orange slices. The paleo fags are also correct that berries are pretty good dietary component in moderation.

6. Raw almonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts. Just a handful here and there. Really good for you, will stop you from eating other shit. Moderate amounts of healthy raw nuts essentially ward off death. It's hard to get enough magnesium in your diet if you don't eat raw nuts.

7. Avocados. 180 nutrient density foodstuffs that everybody should eat.

HTH you faggots. Just kidding I like most of you guys except for rasquatch, doobs, and denecrane.

24 eggs a week seems much more reasonable. That's like 150g of premium quality protein and really loads you up with vitamins D, E, choline, couple of the Bs, and so on. Unless you're desperate to add MUSCLE MASS, no need to choke down 12/day. Particularly not if you're otherwise eating a good diet.

Anyway, juicing is fine, but most people like to eat meals and it's good to know how to prepare this stuff. You can also easily go kind of overboard with juicing and A) blow out your asshole and B) accidentally go overboard on calories with all the fruit sugar. Not too many juicing concoctions are palatable without a large dose of fruit. If you're going to do it, really take advantage and throw other beneficial shit in there that you don't normally get much of in your diet, like ginger.

Are they just for ppl who eat garbage and never eat veggies and fruits?

There are so many compounds and other nutritional benefits to eating good food that supplements simply can't replicate. You have to account for that too.

Also, don't think of fruits and vegetables as the be-all-end-all of healthy eating and nutrition. Plants should be a cornerstone of your diet, but simply wolfing down some steamed vegetables with one meal a day isn't going to do much for you. You want long term heavy intake of a wide variety of nutrient dense vegetables on top of everything else.

I eat like this and I try not to be preachy about it, but I find myself shaking my head when friends and family chow down on shitloads of corn and wheat based "foods"

Just google 'clean bulk' and you'll get the idea. That's a fine way to eat for short periods of time. ITT I'm talking about lifetime eating habits. Aside from blood pressure and how your skin/hair/nails/eyes look, most of this stuff doesn't pay immediate dividends.

My thing with cabbage is that a lot of vegetable noobs seem to think that just adding lettuce, cabbage, and some chopped tomato to a meal means they got 'veggies' with it. This stuff is so low in nutrition density and fiber, particularly in the quantities that most people eat it, that it's just a waste. They could pull tons more nutrition from spinach or just about any other vegetable in lieu if a cupful of grocery store cabbage.

Some varieties of cabbage are really nutritious in sufficient volume, but it can be hard to find recipes that call for a full pound of cabbage, lightly cooked. The point of eating this way is to eat less overall but hike up your nutrition density. I'm trying to talk to sense to the type of person who thinks the oil-drenched pepper/onion/lettuce mixture they get with their burrito bowl counts as decent intake of 'veggies.'

One of the reasons so many celebrities appear young and beautiful into their later years is that they all spend decades eating really healthy and expensive food in the uptight L.A./NYC dietary culture. The older you are, the more this stuff makes a serious difference in your appearance and QOL.
