Thank you all for sharing your good lists! I learned a little, and even chuckled a bit. Have a great day!

[Bricealan]

Strange you should ask, I am sitting at my desktop, and about to ask about the "Food Value of the Avocado as I do like and eat a lot of them. I do try to eat fruits, (oranges, grapes, cherries (in season) and also try to get enough vegetables, but don't always do that. I grate carrots, and use cherry tomatoes in grated cabbage

Looking through the list, on the Runners World page, I do eat many of those things, but do for the most part do not eat nuts. Bell pepper, baby spinach, and those things I do eat. Good selection of foods there.

[Pudsmucker]

I actually enjoy better vegetables broccoli, cauliflower, beet, turnips, parsnips and cabbage.

[Imsmurter1]

I liked those until you mentioned beets oof can't love it.

[Pudsmucker]

@Imsmurter1 bitter vegetable are great for you liver. Beets are better pickled.

[Emiliamazing]

We all like golden beets, only our oldest and my husband and I enjoy the red/purple (kids are weird)

[Pudsmucker]

I've never tried the golden beets. Golden beats do sound good.

[Imsmurter1]

I bit into a canned beet once for a salad. It immediately made me nauseous. It's not bitterness cause I can handle broccoli rabe and radicchio. It's simply something with the earthiness of the beets.

[Pudsmucker]

@Imsmurter1 beats take a acquired taste. I grew up eating beats on the farm. Pickled beets go great with salads.

[Emiliamazing]

@Imsmurter1 the canned beets are definitely a step lower in flavor than the freshly prepared, maybe give the golden beets carry. Peel, dice and sautée in olive oil

[Emiliamazing]

*golden beets a try

[Imsmurter1]

Okay but maybe they’re less nutrition gold

[Pudsmucker]

How you prepared your your beets I will have to try.

[Msputiton]

Bananas.

So basically what i do is 15 minute before a workout i hydrate myself with 24 ounces of water. The purpose of this is to have less water breaks during practice.

Drinking a lot of water thid soon before aerobic exercises can cause cramping. So to prevent that, i eat a banana.

All the potassium, magnesium and calcium are 3 of the 4 nutrients that can help for cramp prevention

[midnightmoon05]

Not one.
I love all kinds of fruits and veggies that I can get my hands on. Fresh from the farm/garden.
carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, swish chard, string beans, all kinds of melons.
star fruit, logons, persimmons, pears, pineapples, mangos, strawberries…

[Emiliamazing]

The spinach and kale are a hard sell with our kids🤣

[midnightmoon05]

I started out by telling them to eat veggies first. Then protein, then carb.
Took my daughter a long time to like salad…now they have build a good healthy habit to eat fruits and veggies.
It takes time, and discipline to raise good healthy children.
I don’t believe when young moms says my kids won't eat this or that… the result is… they are allowing kids to take control.

[Emiliamazing]

Our kids try to take control, but they are very good vegetable and fruit eaters. They will eat the uncooked spinach leaves in the salad, our youngest would eat fruit and carrots all day long!

[midnightmoon05]

They all try lol. Good to start them young.

[NathanDavis]

pistachios are a must for me... I get them weekly, lol

avocado though... nope, not for me and none of it

[Emiliamazing]

Check out the list from runners world. There are some surprising foods on there, I'm rather proud of how we eat in our home :-)

[NathanDavis]

red bell peppers, walnuts, cereal and bananas, salmon, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, eggs, watermelon, oranges... these are also part of my diet

and of course... salsas, lmao being from Mexico as well

[dustybiker]

What about mole sauce?

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker I bet mole sauce has a ton of super-ingredients...

and tortillas are a superfood as well... has powered America for 12.000 years... lol

[Blackcupcake]

@NathanDavis oatmeal? *super confused*

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake there's cookies and candy...

[dustybiker]

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker a whole continent *resounding echo* ... from North to South

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis lmao

[Blackcupcake]

@NathanDavis candy? *even more confused*

you probably enjoy milk with oatmeal cookies floaters

[dustybiker]

@Blackcupcake Don’t forget the salt!

[Blackcupcake]

@dustybiker oh yes!! that’s a must too… hahahaha

[dustybiker]

@Blackcupcake lmao

[NathanDavis]

I've had cereal with salt, before

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis Is that a v-v thing or just a you thing? Inquiring minds..

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker it was a prank from my younger brother... lol

I just didn't realize that it tasted a bit funny, till I was half done with it

and then you know... I do finish what I start

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis omg 🤣

• apples
• yogurt
• kale
• eggs
• bok choy
• salmon
• sweet potatoes

[2Wheels]

It would probably be easier to list my non favorites lol. 😅
I love almost all of those!

I don't agree with some, but that's just my opinion. Also they forgot some very important ones. One of them being blueberries! 😱

[Emiliamazing]

Blueberries are a household faaav!

[2Wheels]

I eat them so much. 😍

[DeeDeeDeVour]

My first choice would be chocolate, of course.

[Emiliamazing]

It should be everyone's!🤣

[Bethany22]

I like liver. That is supposed to be pretty high in vitamin A. All you need is a mouthful if you don't like it too much.

[abc3643]

Mintberry Crunch

[TroyDT2]

From this list: pistachios, avocado, almonds, bananas, peanut butter (the real stuff, not the added oil and sugar kind), spinach, chickpeas (usually as hummus), raspberries, oatmeal. I do drink wine, but rarely.

[JulianGronkowski]

Peanut butter English muffins, apples, and bananas for healthy snacks. Salmon and eggs for dinner.

Some not so superfoods but guilty pleasure snacks: Smartfood popcorn, cheez-its, and goldfish.

[Emiliamazing]

Good job keeping it balanced!

[A_Bell]

Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls should come with a cape and an S logo on their top.

[menina]

I love avocado! It's too bad that I can't eat it every day. Mine are blueberries. 🫐🫐🫐

[watercolor_lions]

Super foods are great! I LOVE eggs!

Salmon and eggs are a great breakfast!

[bowenw]

Do peanuts, pecans, and walnuts count, or mixed nuts in general?

[Emiliamazing]

I'm not sure about peanuts. We can't have peanuts or anything that has been processed in a facility with peanuts in our home due to an allergy. I think any raw vegetable or nut is better than any processed food.

[bowenw]

I enjoy simple roasted nuts like pecan and walnuts. They must be superfoods. I enjoy salads.

[Emiliamazing]

I think you are correct. There are a variety of nuts listed on the runners world website article I put in the update column

[bowenw]

Yes, walnuts are on there as are almonds (which I forgot to mention). Also avocado and figs which I love.

[Avicenna]

Several- papaya, pomegranates, blueberries, mangos, avocados

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like Italian, Pasta, Barbecue Chicken, Breaded Chicken

[Jennz6]

Tomatoes avocados and eggs for breakfast, Italian food for supper.

[krin_m]

You already mentioned the two I love. Outside that, bananas. papaya, pomegranate, Mango!

I also love quinoa!

[Emiliamazing]

Pomegranate is incredibly popular at our house as well, plus it requires patients to open them up :-)

[krin_m]

Yep, but that is half the fun!

[Emiliamazing]

*patience
We like any activity that promotes patience

[Twalli]

I can't have the former and don't like the latter. Peanuts and ginger are mine.

[OlderAndWiser]

My superfood is fried chicken!

[Emiliamazing]

It's still lean protein... in a delicious coating!

[Pudsmucker]

How do you do your check. I like mine grilled or smoked. I also enjoy rotisserie chicken

[OlderAndWiser]

@Pudsmucker I like my fried chicken. . . fried!

[Pudsmucker]

I tried something different I use coconut oil to fry my chicken in last few months. It gives the chicken a different flavor. I I like also country fried chicken. You know the type chicken breaded dipped an egg breaded again maybe dipped in egg and breading once more. Then deep fat fried in a skillet. When it's done I make delicious gravy from the chicken fat and breading little flour an milk and stir until thickened. It's what you call country fried chicken

[OlderAndWiser]

@Pudsmucker You're preaching to the choir, son! I grew up with a country momma in the kitchen.

[Jaggermoves12655]

Nuts and blueberries

[pingiluv]

Veggies and nuts, gives me energy

[CA4444]

Almonds and greens like kale, broccoli etc

[SeriouslyFunny00]

I love banana, nuts, and chocolate. 🤤

[AngelOfLight258]

I can't really say that I do.

[La_isla_bonita23]

I love all kinds of salads

[LavLavLuv]

Carrots
Broccoli
Chicken

[Snakeyes7]

What is a superfood?

[Emiliamazing]

I don't have an official definition, but the list provided in the link can give you an idea. They are foods that have high nutritional content with a variety of benefits for your mind and body, and happened to taste good :-).

[Snakeyes7]

I see thank you. This list will definitely come in handy.

[CubaPirate]

Definitely Italian

[Emiliamazing]

I would expect the pirate to have salmon on his list!

[CubaPirate]

🤣👍🤣

[boobliker]

most any well cooked food will make me want it

[Debbie14217]

ice cream and chips with dip mmmm

[Jennz6]

@Debbie14217 I love ice cream

[Wise4myage]

Tomatoes and blueberries are my super foods.

[24jack]

Dishes containing garlic are tasty

[Midgetmcwidget]

Cocaine

[Emiliamazing]

Oh dear

[Midgetmcwidget]

It was a joke until this year was signed up to WADA no ways would I do drug even when I was offered coke last month

[Jennz6]

@emiliamazing that’s funny but wrong

[Jennz6]

@midgetmcwidget sorry, I knew that you were joking

[Imsmurter1]

I like blueberries.

[dustybiker]

Almonds.

[exitseven]

Watermelon.

[midnightmoon05]

Lightbulb grew 2 beautiful, yummy water melons. they are the size of a basketball.
It’s not exactly yellow … more like dark yellowish/orangish color with seeds. It’s pretty tasty. We were surprised that it didn’t get eaten by other animals.

[exitseven]

@midnightmoon05 yes, I have grown watermelons in the past. This year I had pumpkin plants all over the garden but only got three pumpkins.

[midnightmoon05]

Do you eat the pumpkins?

We were so excited to see a few pumpkins the size of a small soccer ball…eventually, some animals came and stole/ate them. Pretty disappointed. Somehow, they didn’t go for watermelons.

[exitseven]

@midnightmoon05 no we carve them for Halloween.

[midnightmoon05]

Cute

[Blackcupcake]

I love all food!!

[Literalbillionaire17]

Avocado and salmon

[shortster]

Cake.

[dustybiker]

👏 It rounds out my butt when it needs fattening. That is super to me.

[shortster]

It is super delicious.

[dustybiker]

Agreed. Comfort food.

[dragoblack]

Dragon fruit

[Emiliamazing]

Yess! Still working on making it popular with our kids, kinda pricey too

[dragoblack]

The problem is the limited import and shelf life. Florida and california has some orchards growing dragon fruit, but the problem is the flavor deteriorates if not eaten with few days of picking. A great deal tends to come from the Philippines where it is more common.

[Emiliamazing]

Good to know! Thanks for the updated information!

[Anonymous]

Magic Mushrooms.

[LemiaOfThunder]

Pizza and Fish.

[pink-jilly]

Chicken tenders lol

[Iron_Man]

Italian food

[maximumpower]

Seafood - all of it.

[BLP11520]
