You are what you eat.

If that saying is true, then I am a chocolate glazed donut.  I am a Zaxby’s chicken finger plate with a large coke Zero.  I am a pack of chewy sweet tarts.  Thank goodness we are not what we eat.

One of my many flaws is that I don’t have the best eating habits.  As a runner I should probably be eating steamed vegetables and a grilled chicken breast everyday but instead, I enjoy cheeseburgers and french fries with lots of ketchup.

I’m not a glutton.  I don’t eat these foods everyday but it’s what I prefer.  I find it hard to resist the cravings.  Snacking is where I keep it healthy.  A protein bar or an apple will satisfy me during those in between meal times.  It’s lunch and dinner time that I fail to eat healthy all the time, because typical health food just doesn’t seem to fill me.

When I think of health food, I envision rice cakes and broth.  I think of celery sticks, kashi bars and skim milk and none of these foods appeal to me.  I’d often rather go without.

So if you are reading this, I could use your advice.  What healthy things do you eat?  What tastes good but has low calories?  What fuels you?
