I love food. Being healthy is one of my top priorities, and I really enjoy it. I like being, as I put it, excessively virtuous.
I eat a lot of food that doesn't have to be cooked, but I cook a lot of things too. It's about half and half. When I cook it's almost never elaborate, it's just simple preparation of one food. I don't ever cook a traditional meal composed of several dishes and then fill a plate; I'll eat one thing and then if I'm still hungry eat another. I will combine grains and legumes. I usually don't combine other things, like put in too many ingredients in a dish, or make salads.
I do eat grains and bread, but I try to always have it be as close to whole grain as possible. I avoid factory farmed meat, and since I don't want to spend money on free range meat most of the time, I end up being a pescetarian, and even eating fish is somewhat rare.
I don't have a problem with eating too much or too little, unless I am absorbed with something, in which case I forget about eating sometimes. I know when I feel hungry, and that is often.
I go through food phases where I'll eat a lot of a few foods for months, and then I'll substitute a new food for one of the old ones, and things will evolve.
I believe saturated fat can be healthy if eaten in moderation, so I eat real butter. As long as it's natural I think it's healthy. The one thing I struggle with is not eating too much sugar. I don't ever have a lot of it at a time, but I crave it frequently. I even gave it up entirely for like a couple of months, and after awhile I no longer craved it, but it was mostly because I didn't think about it; if I did and saw it the craving would come back. There's just no comfortable moderation with it.
