Don't you work at a damn grocery store. Walk your skinny ass over to the produce section and chomp into an orange. Better yet, walk over to your favorite section and open a can of coconut soda.

...but it's nasty. I could easily buy a pizza or a steak and cheese sub or a candy bar or an ice cream or a checkers chili cheeseburger with chili cheese fries.

Doesn't that sound better than carrots and bressel sprouts?

Everything serves its purpose... but you wouldn't be asking about healthier alternatives if you didn't have a reason...

I eat at LEAST one of these items daily (usually several), have most of them regularly in my home and definitely include them in my diet routinely!

Can I come and eat at your house? Your kitchen contains much healthier food than mine.

Can I bring the food to your house? It's much cleaner than mine!

Sure. You can stop by anytime. The door is always open for you.

You must crap little titanium pellets.

Put all of this into a blender:

Apple slices, blueberry pie, a few glasses of juice, tomato on your sammich. :shrug:

Can I ask why your skinny azz is even starting a thread like this?

Basically, because I need to start eating better now before I let this bad habit grow and grow until I cannot squash it altogether.

I can already feel the negative effects from eating crap.

Enjoy that jackrabbit metabolism while you can, because one day you might wake up and realize that you look like 150 lbs of chewed bubblegum. ::voiceofexperience:

Spinach, raw broccoli, blueberries, any legumes

BL, I applaud you for recognizing a problem before it becomes out of control. I've had to unlearn a lot of bad habits in the last year or so and it's not easy retraining your tastebuds but it can be done. Slowly introduce better choices in your diet by experimenting with differnt fruits and veggies and you will do well, grasshopper.

I'm hoping that after this year at school I'll have a bit more time to hit the gym and a bit more money to buy better foods. However, if somethings on my plate I might as well at least try it out.

Fresh veggies are cheaper than any combo/value meal.

You still have a young system to flush out the "Crap"!
At least you're aware. Give your pallet a chance, you're around healthy food all day.

Just stay away from eating a whole Deli roasted chicken.

I understand about school, believe me. But there ARE better choices out there without having to sacrifice cost and time. You can eat the steak and cheese sub, but only half and replace the other half with a salad or veggies. Little things like that add up BIG time. And never be afraid to try new things. It's the spice of life.
