Cheesecake

Protein+fat+carbs = cocaine of foods but like healthy since it has all the macros

    A kebab (Berlin Donner ideally)

    Protein and salad, minimal carbs compared to similar foods

      There are versions of pizza that can double qualify as real pizza and healthy, but there is also a lot of area remaining in each individual circle of that venn diagram. And some things incomprehensibly dubbed “healthy pizza” despite sitting comfortably outside both circles.

    Strong broth.

    Veggies, meats, marrow, spices, herbs, all boiled until the best things are in the water. If it’s not fortifying, I don’t know what is.

        Yup. It can also cause kidney stones..

        Note that this normally wouldn’t be a problem, even if you eat a ton in one sitting sporadically, but if you consistently eat decent quantities of peanut butter you may rub into problems. A coworker intentionally at PB&J for their first three years after college to build up a nest egg and wound up in the hospital. Looking back, I wonder if this played a role.

    Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

      Simply thinking about macronutrient misses the bigger picture.

      Proteins aren’t created equal - they’re our source of amino acids, nine of which are essential because our bodies can’t produce them. Different protein sources have varying amino acid profiles. While quinoa and beef both provide protein, only beef is considered a “complete” protein with all essential amino acids in optimal ratios.

      Fats aren’t created equal either, the type of fat matters tremendously. Trans fats have been definitively linked to heart disease and inflammation, while monounsaturated fats like extra virgin olive oil are associated with increased longevity.

      Carbs, guess what? Not all carbohydrates affect your body the same way. Simple sugars and refined starches can spike blood glucose levels, potentially leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes over time. In contrast, resistant starches (found in foods like cooled potatoes and green bananas) act more like fiber, supporting gut health and providing steady energy.

      You could be eating the exact same ratio of carbs:fats:proteins and have radically different health outcomes depending on what you are eating.

      And this doesn’t even address the vitamins and minerals essential for everything from bone health to immune function.

      The key isn’t just the macro numbers - it’s the actual foods you’re eating.

        I believe aspartame is highly tested and safe in the amount I drink. Same with dyes in food. Healthy? Maybe not. Perfectly safe? Yeah.

          I do find it funny when people do quote it’s bad for you based off a new study.

          You then look at the study and it’s like ‘we gave mice 5x the amount of safe human consumption and the mice started acting oddly’

      I was like “WTF? I’ve never even heard of beef tea and I’ve lived in Victoria my whole life!” Then I clicked the link. 🤦

        Haha that’s great, I didn’t even consider that possible point of confusion.

        Side note, way too many things were named after one lady.

    Hummus. I have no evidence to support this but I reckon I could live for quite a long time just eating hummus.
