I stay on pretty good track with eating healthy food, but I always want to eat MORE!

I chose "Something not listed here."
I'm a perfectionist. So the biggest challenge is, I don't have the choice to select the food that I wanna eat sometimes! For example, when eating with a team that decides to eat just about anything, without considering about the nutrition.

Availability of certain healthy foods.... I go to college so i'm at the mercy of the cafeteria... who always manages to over cook the yummy veggies i love... or in some othe way make them unpaletable...

My challenge is not just eating what is normally healthy but also avoiding all the foods I'm allergic and intolerant to which include gluten, dairy, nuts, eggs, and soy.

Biggest challange for healthy diet is ofcourse, Ready availability in some places, social contacts and finally cooperation from the family members.
Following un-cooked diet is challanging, so enjoyable creative andso on but swimming againest the flow. However strength comes from the food it self. The same strenth shown in other activities also.

ISAM,
If you're looking for someone to tell you what to eat, I'm not sure we can help. Our mission at NutritionData is to give you all the information, support, and tools you need to make better diet choices, but we don't think it's appropriate to make those decisions for you!
So, if you want to learn more about the calorie content of foods and meals and how to build a healthy diet, you have come to the right place.
To get an idea how many calories you should be eating to maintain your current weight, use our Daily Needs Calculator: http://www.nutritiondata.com/tools/calories-burned
To find the calories in any food, simply type the food into the search box at the upper right hand corner of the page. You'll find tools for tracking your meals and daily consumption in our Pantry section, here: http://www.nutritiondata.com/help/pantry-help

A mindset change is what is needed and what is the most difficult to make happen. When planning a meal or just wanting a bit to eat, a person naturally gravitates to those foods and meals that were instilled during childhood and by his culture. It's very difficult to change but can be done. I made the change but only after retiring. After retirement, I had the time to read, plan, and try new recipes.

I do not have a problem, I have a problem with portion control. I like and enjoy healthy food but tend to eat too much.

I actually love eating well. Willpower is not as big a thing for me as availability is. I cook mainly from scratch but I live in a rural area and our growing season is very short so I have to stock up and that is hard with fresh veggies and limited fuit. I don't keep cakes and cookies on hand becaue then I do eat them without really thinking about it. For me it is important ot have good choices available most all the time so even when I am rushed I still grab dsomething healthy.

Social obligations. For instance holidays can really break a rhythm of everyday meals. I need almost 3 weeks to get back to normal.

I went to a nutritionist back in May and began to stick to the basic pyramid of foods to follow due to my wt and also a diagnosis of fat in my liver by ultrasound. It really scared me. My dr. said it was totally reversable, and obesity and high cholesterol, high triglycerides were the major factors. Many people never even know they have it.
This really woke me up! I have now lost 32 lbs since May by eating more healthy!!
