Haha yeah, I try to limit the amount of red meat I consume.

Question: Do you know any other fish than Tilapia?

Question: Do you know any other fish than Tilapia?

Ha! Tilapia is actually my least favorite. That’s the only fish my mom would cook while I was growing up.

I prefer salmon, halibut and cod.

I also like mackerel.

I eat mostly fruit and veggies, whole grains ( kamut, basmati, oats, and whole wheat pasta), nuts, seeds, poultry and eggs. I dont eat dairy or red meat. Rarely i eat seafood. I eat only organic and rarely eat out. I cook 99% of the time. Always from scratch.

My staple food are milanesas, pasta (dry and fresh), rice, some chicken, some fish (frozen), vegetables, eggs, cheese, raw milk, fruits. Not much more..... we eat simple and without much condiments. I don't eat tons of meat like most uruguayans, which is healthier.

My crappy intakes are Coke Zero, brand cookies, coffee, chicken nuggets, take out (I agree it's 100% crap), sweets (like candy or ice cream).

But overall I think me and my family have a healthy/positive diet.

My usual diet:

Protein: Beef and Chicken milanesas, Chicken breast, steak on weekends, eggs, sardinian and parmesan cheese, other than common local sliced ones.

Carbohydrates: Pasta, Polenta, Bread. Hardly ever have rice nowadays. I drink a glass of Orange, Grapefruit, Apple or Peach juice every day. Whoever tells you fruit juices are bad is dishonest. 250ml of juice will never add up to your dietary intake to the point of making you gain weight, and you get easy vitamins and some fiber, and best of all it's delicious. I also have Dulce de Leche, a life hack to be honest. Very good as a pre game or workout snack and always satisfies my sweet tooth with 62kcal a tablespoon.

Fats: Extra Virgin Olive Oil mostly, butter when I feel like it. I fry all of my steaks on the tallow I cut from the meat itself. I would never eat pure grease on the steak anyways, and I'm sparing the extra calories of a tablespoon of oil and just eating what the cut had to offer me. Lard is lindy too, but it's impossible to find it non-refined in Argentina. NO SEED OILS, my only dietary dogma.

Fruit and vegetables: Apples, oranges, bananas and that's it really. Other ones are either too expensive or too complicated to store. I will buy plain ass lettuce or frozen veg mixed if I'm feeling healthy.

Junk Food: A LOT of diet coke, scary lot of it. I realized that in this amazing year of lonely living in Buenos Aires, I get depressed if I don't have a fix of caffeine. So I'll easily go through 1,5l of diet coke in one sitting, in extreme cases twice a day. I usually don't follow a diet on entire weekends, so there will always be wine, beer, pizza and burgers at some moment.

I'll also have a liter of mate on good days. Much more lindy and healthy than coke .

Also, I don't give a fuck about nutrition science other than macronutrients and basic thermodynamics. They change their paradigms and opinions on stuff every day and the lobby they get is out of this world. I eat a lot of meat, suck my dick, Schwab.

Totally avoiding Mcdonalds, Kentuckies, beef, mutton, all commercial fried chickens, all wild birds, snakes, reptiles, all traditional pets as food. I would eat fish once a year where all living water creatures are considered as fish except for kelps, eating fish(either fresh or sea waters counts) once a year is a part of the annual ritual of my spiritual rebirth. I flexibly designate the ritual at Autumnal equinox in Sept.22nd or Xmas or my birthday in Jan or Spring Festival. This year I ate on Jan 21 the eve of the Spring festival, and I will relegate Fish ritual for autumnal equinox this year, since eating on Spring Festival is accorded to the chinese calendar which transits into the new year a bit short of a month later than AD calender. And so on, 4 different occaisions designated for the ritual in sequence each a year.

Chicken, duck, pork, chicken/duck eggs, milk are my main protein sources, but mostly pork. Rice and vegetables every meal, use raw green coriander in dishes like 50 gram per week, always very lightly spiced with anise and pepper, eating and consuming with tenderness in taste and preparation in mind, including the ways of industrial and commercial preparations in processed or commercial products; never pursue and ethically avoid extreme tastiness and food luxury.
