So, I didn't know what "eating clean" was and I looked it up. I'm probably around 60% clean. I still like my sugar and my bread and meat and cheesr. But I do limit packaged food and try to keep salt down. I choose whole grain. And I've been eating mason jar salads which makes me feel healthy. ....even if they do contain chicken and bacon and cheese.

We really try!

I'm a big fan of the meal plan. But don't go overboard with fancy new recipes. It's too much to maintain.

Good luck!

Nope, I just try to eat healthy. I pay attention to my macros and make sure my diet is balanced, for the most part.

I love bread and cheese. I could never give it up.

I eat what sounds good. I like a lot of healthy things so I eat them, but I don't really think about it. (I was vegan for a while in my younger years and thought and obsessed about food too much, so I just don't now and am much happier!)

@DANIZAUR I was a clean freak... until I got pregnant. Cakes and bread are my weakness.

Nope! I don't try very hard, I do try to eat a good amount of veggies and avoid too much junk but not that hard

Haahahahahah. Nope. Not even close.

We avoid processed carbs, and tend to stick with grains like quinoa and brown rice.
But then I'll bake a pan of brownies...so it's more like 'everything in moderation...including moderation."

Mostly clean/real/whole foods/things without a billion ingredients...lately it's cheese, ezekiel bread, veggies, meat, avocado, rice, quinoa, almonds, fruit, nut butters.....but i also like real bread (fresh bread has like...5 ingredients. BRING IT ON), real butter, greek yogurt, milk....whatever. I care more about my macros and sometimes, you just gotta have a hunk of bread and cheese and butter and a big ole glass of wine

Pretty much. There are things that don't quite fit sometimes because I need to hit my macro ratios - Greek yogurt, whey protein, etc. Everything in moderation.

I guess so? I guess it depends on how you define “clean eating” since that’s a bit of a trendy buzzword these days.

I try to eat real food, and I try to make good choices (both for nutrition and ethical choices for meat/eggs/dairy/coffee/etc. products). I watch my carbs (especially from white bread or pasta), but moreso because I am trying to lose weight, not because I think they are bad. Fresh bread with a pat of melting butter on it is definitely not a bad thing!!!

I think everything in moderation is the way to go, and to try to eat fresh food, simply prepared.

I try! But I slack when I need groceries.

We definitely try to! We've been making our meals for the week on Sundays which has helped a ton. We focus on protein, fruits, veggies but we still do dairy/brown rice, etc as well. We also have "treat" days every few weeks and splurge on take out or pizza once or twice a month too!

I think everything in moderation is good

I wish moderation worked for me!! I had some iced coffee with milk this weekend, and gained 4 pounds. Something about dairy just causes me to gain weight instantly. Same goes with bread...

I sure miss dairy and bread... they were my favorite food groups! Especially together, as cheese and crackers!!

Nope!

I'm not exactly sure what clean eating is but we probably do somewhat. We eat mainly vegetarian, tried to greatly limit processed foods, eat healthy fats, avocados, olive oil, peanut butter. But we love our bread and cheese as well, and I love my desserts. But I don't think that's unhealthy or unclean. We try not to have too many hard and fast rules though either since when we're guests or out with a group or want to try something new we don't feel guilty about breaking our own rules.

Yup.

I'm Gluten and dairy free, and recently discovered I have a dairy intolerance, but mostly in large amounts. I eat basically paleo 90% of the time- just meat and produce. But I enjoy it too- I don't feel like I'm restricting myself because I still eat delicious food. I feel better on it and I'm losing weight so I'm happy with the way I eat. As such, my boys have followed suit for the most part.

But I have a good balance too- the last two nights I made homemade strawberry margaritas. Delicious. I don't regret it. I don't think of it as cheating- it's a choice.

Not really... We try to eat healthy but don't cut out anything.
