Do you have a favorite food? Is there a food that you look forward to eating no matter the time of year or time of day? This question was harder to answer for myself then I had initially thought. When I thought about doing a post on a favorite food I got stuck.
What is my favorite food, or do I even have a favorite? I could be all magnamious and say my favorite food is carrots but you guys might not believe me. Or I could tell you my favorite food is brown rice, but I’d be lying.
I’ve been thinking about this all day and realized that I don’t just have one favorite food, but rather some favorite foods from different categories. When I was morbidly obese my favorite food was chocolate. Chocolate is probably not the best favorite food to have!
I didn’t have favorite foods in categories such as:
Vegetables
Grains/Beans
Meats
Fruits
Dairy
I really only liked chocolate, and the more chocolate I ate during the day the less of those other foods I ate. These days I still do like chocolate, but it isn’t a mainstay of my diet. Now, I really do have some favorite foods in the categories above. I realize that I didn’t have to give up chocolate, but instead I added in lots of other yummy foods into my list of favorites.
So here are my favorites in those categories:
Vegetables – Asparagus
Grains/Beans – Black Beans
Meats – Chicken Parmesean (I know it’s a recipe!)
Fruits – Watermelon
Dairy – Greek Yogurt (I hate milk.)
It was hard to just list one food, as there are many foods in all the categories except dairy that I really like.
Are you up for sharing your favorite foods in all or some of those categories? I think it’d be fun to see what everyone loves! Diane
Hey admin, I really loved the content do you mind if I use some of the information from this post if I provide a url back to your website?
I seriously love so many types of food its hard to pick one!!!
Vegetables – Oh man, I can’t choose. Broccoli, carrots, snap peas, asparagus, celery, cucumbers… I like most everything!
Grains/Beans – Sprouted Sourdough for the healthy stuff, a nice fresh loaf of sourdough for the not-as-healthy stuff
Meats – Chicken, turkey, mahi mahi, 96/4 ground beef, a good filet mignon
Fruits – Just about ANYTHING but bananas or kiwis. A perfect honeycrisp apple might just be a little slice of heaven though…
Dairy – Greek Yogurt, brie, jalapeno pepperjack cheese, any really tasty and savory cheese…
I’ve found I haven’t necessarily gained the taste for healthy stuff (I had it before), but I lost the taste for *some* of the unhealthy stuff (how did Chili’s used to be my favorite restaurants) and I make the healthy choices more often by default.

Ooh, fun. I like lists.
And there are SO many foods I could list, but I’ll just list one.
Vegetables – Tomatoes
Grains/Beans – Whole Grain Bread. I really prefer it to white.
Meats – A good lean steak.
Fruit – Oranges.
Dairy – Mozzarella cheese.
