Eating Food Meals

>>38132105
I can condense it to four words:

Just eat whole foods.

Of course, you can be retarded about that, so we might need an extra three words:

Eat mostly plants.

You can still technically follow this advice and fuck up, but in terms of general rules? I think those two work well.

> whole foods
what do you mean by this?

Eat food.
Mostly plants.
Not too much.

Whats the difference between not eating veg and eating say other carb sources and taking a multi? Srs

Why would that be preferable to eating real fresh food?

>>38132359
We don't know. Could be bioavailability, could be complex interactions between micronutrients, could be any number of things. But multivitamins mostly just fill your urine with vitamins rather than doing you much good.

I've been pondering this question too recently... It's basically a choice between :
1) Taking some supplements (multi-vitamin, fish-oil, minerals) to satisfy all micro-nutrient requirements, maybe some protein powder depending on how much you think you need, and for the rest just eating relatively clean (i.e. no tons of junk food or sugary crap etc), but not having to worry too much about the details (basically, as long as you eat "normal" food, you just have to make sure it's roughly the right amount of calories)
2) Eating very clean, making sure to get the right mix of various sources to cover all your macro and micro needs. Not only is this more work wrt the selection of what stuff to eat etc, but it's most likely also going to require extra work shopping, preparing, cooking etc.

I think that in the ideal scenario, benefiting from option 2 is probably better (you basically get the same benefits in a more "natural" way, with less chance of side-effects etc). But considering I'm a barely functional slob with limited cooking skills, a crappy more-than-full-time job, a long commute, living alone, not very rich, ... option 1 just seems more realistic.

But option 1 does mean basically trusting the supplement suppliers to make a good product (despite the fact that the whole industry gives of an aura of scammyness). And hoping that stuff in supplements + stuff in my food (as I do try to eat relatively decent food, plenty of veggies etc) doesn't end up being too much (most micro's don't have just a minimum but also a maximum).

plants and fruits have hundreds of different compounds we dont even know about (secondary metabolites).

Vitamins alone dont to jackshit.

I'd suggest just learning to cook basic meals. But I actually enjoy cooking, so my perception of how much work it is probably differs from yours. Cooking up batches to heat later is pretty time-efficient though.

You don't need that much variety or innovation to have a decent diet though. Eat the vegetables you like, preferably including some greens.

Looking at the us gov recommendations, you need (not necessarily on a daily basis, but at least on a weekly basis) a wide selection of at least 10 different vegetables, fatty fish, liver, various nuts, ... to cover everything. I already make sure to get some brocolli/spinach/peas, some carrots/peppers, chicken, ... which is obviously healthy and definitely better than pizza and burgers etc, but not enough to really get the full spectrum.
