I have a name. According to the Mayo Clinic website, I'm a flexitarian. Flexitarians are defined as people who "
primarily follow a plant-based diet but occasionally eat small amounts of meat, poultry or fish." Although "occasionally eat small amounts of meat, poultry or fish" translates into a couple times a week (when V cooks), and then gorging on a potpourri of animal cadavers when I stumble upon a Chilean barbecue. But
I cook primarily veggies and grains and I eat lots of fruit, chocolate and coconut milk, too. Ñami.
Check out this tool! This is really cool. I did it and found out my daily calorie goal is 2000 calories. Pretty cool.
And here are five different
food pyramids, depending on your taste/culture.
The Mayo Clinic rocks.
But my fave food pyramid is this one, from the
integrative nutrition catalog:
Perhaps the most complete food pyramid known to mankind.
If I were to formally study nutrition, I would do it with them, integrative nutrition.
