Do you eat whatever whenever? When you're shopping groceries are you cheaping out or being picky? What are you picky about?

Well, if you must know...
I eat a staple diet regularly. I do this for most of the week and then have something different on the weekend.
I have found that this is a good way to maintain my health and also energy levels.
What's my staple? Red beans + rice + a protein. At dinner. Or - I am going through a corn phase right now. So, I take fresh cut corn and cook it up with some spices. Maybe add a protein and just eat a bowl of that. Fruit and nuts during the day only. + espresso for breakfast/throughout. I don't eat anything until around noon. Just coffee.
Then, on the weekend, I eat something that I crave. BBQ, nachos, pizza, burgers, Cuban sandwich, french fries, German chocolate cake, something like that. Usually on Saturday or Friday night. Then, back onto the regular diet.
What do I avoid? Breads. Too much sugar. Too much salt.
I drink water like a madman.
This is the diet I have settled in to and it works. Everyone is different.

I ate whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted without thinking about it at all until I was around 25 (33 now). Up to that point I had always been extremely active so I never carried extra weight. I'm 6'3" and pushing 200lbs right now, fluctuating between 180-200 since my late teens. This winter has been particularly decadent unfortunately, I feel like more of a fatass than I ever have in my life.
I've never followed any kind of diet at all.

Corn is junk. Even the rice is questionable honestly it's just a carb filler. Red beans and if the protein source is clean are both good ideas.

I eat whatever the **** I want because I have good genes and practice reasonable portion control.

I had a 10oz lobster roll and 2 bottles of water tonight at the Beach Clam in Epping NH, I was on a field service call today so my meals were covered by my company. It was delicious. I don***8217;t really over think food other than I avoid fried and drinks with sugar. I tend to eat fish more than meat.

70 is where the harsh decline can start quickly. Neurodegenerative disease and cancer are knocking. Diet is a good path to make sure the rest of your years are spent healthy.

I like this yes.
Are you picky about where the animal products come from? Veggies?

I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Up until 8 years ago, my weight never went above 163. As soon as I hit 40 (8 years ago), things changed. In the past 4 years, I have begun to monitor what and how much I am consuming and try to limit certain things (except alcohol... when I relapsed). I used to eat an entire ribeye but now, I eat about 4 ounces and the rest of my plate is vegies.
I dont eat breakfast and most days I remember to eat lunch but I work so much that I forget about eating lunch a few times a week. I dont eat much fruit though; I buy it and I end up just throwing it away a lot of the times.
I drink about 2.5/3 liters of water every day, even if I am just sitting at my desk all 14 hours a day.
I rarely ever eat fast food or drink a soda. Not exactly sure when the last time I ate FF. I also rarely ever eat out. I would rather prepare and cook my own meals.

Yes, I buy all local chicken and beef (all organic).
I'm less picky about veggies, just look for quality.
Trout is farm raised, but given how expensive wild fish has gotten I make do with it.
