What is your favorite food?

Re: What is your favorite food?

I lead a very healthy lifestyle and eat mostly boring, healthy stuff 90% of the time. A normal day for me is like this:

Spoiler

This is my Monday thru Saturday diet plan. I also ONLY drink water.

Breakfast

One large bowl of protein cereal with unsweetened soy milk
One organic gala apple
One organic banana

Lunch

A large green salad (spring mix, kale, red peppers, broccoli, grape tomatoes and banana peppers) with very light dressing (balsamic vinaigrette)
One cup of soup (usually lentil based, sometimes veggie chili)

Dinner

One large protein shake on days that I lift weights (Monday, Wednesday & Friday)
A moderate portion of brown rice and vegetables on days that I run (Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday)

However, on Sundays (especially during football season) I eat whatever the **** I want. I feel that giving yourself one day a week to not restrict yourself is totally fine as long as you don't go overboard.

So basically, my dream Sunday meals would be something like this:

Spoiler

Breakfast

A large plate of home fries (crispy on the outside, soft in the middle) with lots of hot sauce
One breakfast pastry of some sort (apple and spice doughnut, coffee cake, etc.)
One can of soda with no caffeine (7-Up, Sprite, Tahitian Treat, ginger ale, etc.)

Lunch

A falafel sandwich/wrap on warm pita
One side of fresh cut fries
A fruit smoothie of some sort

Dinner

A large plate of pasta with marinara sauce
A piece or two of garlic bread (if I'm feeling extra froggy, I'll get cheese on it)
A Caprese Salad (my absolute favorite)

Dessert

Ice cream! Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey is my favorite to eat at home, otherwise I'll go to an ice cream shop and get something fresher.

Now that might sound extremely boring to a lot of you, but before I started eating like this I was about 30-40 pounds overweight but after six months of eating like this, I melted away all of those excess pounds. Obesity runs in my family and I am getting to the age where my metabolism isn't a million miles per hour anymore. I used to eat anything I wanted in any amounts and never gained a pound. Not anymore!

Don't get me wrong, ten years ago my list would have been a lot more entertaining and full of junk (I still do crave junk food here and there) but once you ween yourself off of that stuff, the cravings almost disappear entirely.

I do allow myself to drink up to six beers once a week, too. Usually on Friday or Saturday nights. However, I do sober up completely for months at a time for no particular reason.

Excluding a special entree like lamb or veal saltimbocca or something like that, or an Armenian dish....

Pizza and french fries. No doubt in my mind. Every single Free Day I have must have both. I missed out on the fries this week though. I also have a hard time living without street-style tacos, chips and salsa, ice cream, burgers, or pasta.

But, I mean, there's so much.

Wings, blue claw crabs, tacos, ribs, salmon.

I can't do this I'm getting too hungry.

[jb12780]

Pizza, pasta. Pretty much anything. I like food.

Re: What is your favorite food?

Prime Rib, King Crab, Mexican Food it's hard to choose between those. Hell, a BLT (or anything with bacon), a fresh tomato sandwich, a cheeseburger or a nice bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats are all good too. It's too hard for me to choose just one.

Burgers - Give me a burger and I am set.

I think I'll have one for lunch. Maybe Five Guys or Whataburger.

Re: What is your favorite food?

Speaking of Whataburger, had some of their breakfast last night.

That honey chicken biscuit or whatever it was nearly made my face explode.

Will have again.

Re: What is your favorite food?

I love too much food. Pizza, Buffalo Wings, Crawfish, Crawfish or Shrimp Étouffée, Cajun Rice And Gravy(with Pork or Beef Roast), Gumbo, Jambalaya, etc.

I've never tried Crawfish, Gumbo or Jambalaya, but when I have seen it made on cooking shows it looks delicious. I definitively want to try it.

Big Mac. I would eat 3 a day, but I don't want to die by the time I'm 45. I just love them SOOOOO much. Ohh, and the McRib when they sell them.

Re: What is your favorite food?

Here's 3 that probably won't get repeated:

Corned beef hash. I love it, especially with eggs over easy in the morning.

Chicken and dumplings. That is all.

Pickles. Dill though, not sweet. With this diet I'm on now, I eat a bowl of pickles and olives for lunch.

Re: What is your favorite food?

This may sound like an odd choice but corn is my favorite rood. Would eat it with every meal if I could.

Re: What is your favorite food?

Pizza, wings, chicken parm, and this pasta my dad makes with olives, bacon, and onions. Sounds weird, but it is delicious.

Re: What is your favorite food?

a fresh tomato sandwich

That's me all day, right there. One of my favorite "take out" things is the Tomato & Mozzarella panini from Panera Bread.

The description on the website says:

Fresh mozzarella, roasted & fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and all-natural sun-dried tomato pesto on Ciabatta.

**** me running, that thing is so good. I used to eat one of those at least once a week.

I'm a nut, though. I can just eat tomatoes whole like an apple. I just like them that much. When I was growing up (ages 7-13 or so) one of my "go to" snacks was a tomato and mustard sandwich on Italian bread. I know it sounds weird and my mom used to look at me like I was a little crazy (fair enough) but I smashed so many of those weird sandwiches that I lost count.

Bottom line is that tomatoes are my favorite fruit and vegetable.

Corned beef hash.

Before I became a herbivore that was my absolute favorite breakfast. I have a lot of memories eating that with my dad every Sunday morning while reading the paper (way before the internet) to get ready for the NFL games that day. We used to eat it every week. Man, I miss that son of a bitch.

Re: What is your favorite food?

I just can't name one, so in no particular order: lamb, green and red curries, neapolitan pizza, tempura, fresh spring rolls, among many others. However the most flavorful and memorable dish I ever had was a bowl of poke in Hawaii.

I definitely had a tomato/mustard sandwich phase. I really like tomatoes too, specifically right out of the garden. Fond memories of my grandmother's, we got to pick them and then eat them, it was like tradition. Good times.
