[routine help] How do you meet your daily vitamins + minerals requirement - what list of foods are you eating ? (30 years old preferably)
Posted Sep 20, 2020, 7:30 AM UTC
A little under 30 but I started juicing a lot of veggies to help
Thanks if you could name a few out
Parsley, spinach, basil, carrots, & beets are my go to. Beet limeade is actually one of my favorite drinks and helps a ton with cramps! I eat broccoli, cauliflower ( the frozen steam-able bags) or Brussel sprouts with as many meals as possible bc they’re easy to prepare and easy to season
I just take a multivitamin.

Don't just start taking supplements on your own. Talk to your doctor! Biotin for example was the main cause for my acne. Like deep cysts. Just from taking one fancy gummy bear.
Unfortunately people need to take multivitamin supplements because no matter how well you eat, the minerals and vitamins are so depleted in the soil nowadays.
Log what you eat in cronometer for a week and then see what you lack. Add foods in to balance things out. I eat at least 2 pieces of fruit every day and vegetables with every meal. I try to make all my meals complete in macronutrients, so some carbs, some fats and some protein. I eat mostly a wholefoods diet and make my meals from scratch, due to ibs and food sensitivities. I try to have a variety of foods and eat different ones every day. For carbs I alternate between quinoa, buckwheit, different legumes, pearlbarley, rye, different types of rice (black, white, red all have different nutrient profile) different tuberplants etc. I eat red meat once or twice a week, fatty fish at least twice a week. For veggies I just buy whatever is on sale and try to make it work with the rest of the foods, again I do try to alternate veggies every day. For desert I mostly have dark chocolate, yoghurt with nuts and fruit type of stuff. Sometimes I bake my own cookies or muffins, usually once a month. Before ibs my diet was not nearly as clean or diverse.
Logging food is a great way of tracking what you eat - there is a great free app called 'MyNetDiary' - at first you have to search and find everything you eat. After a few days it remembers your ingredients and you can quickly make a favourites folder - most of my meals can be logged in under a minute.
The paid for version you can track micro and macro nutrients if you want - but as long as your logging each day you will see what your eating and what is missing from your diet.
