Stereoscopic vision to judge the distance to my prey.
Skills to take it down efficiently.
Canine teeth to tear the meat loose.
Incisors and molars to bite through vegetation and grind it down before swallowing. :D

I only eat food that used to be alive. The more recently, the better.

Looking forward to my future diet of rice, beans, canned food and roadkill.

Omnivore, as is the easiest way to survive out there when stopping somewhere to get some food.
But I prefer vegetarian / vegan whenever possible. Safe the planet ✊

Everyone is different and has different needs. Not all of our bodies function in an identical manner, which many seem to forget. Some are capable of living healthy lives with vegetarian or vegan diets, some require more meat. Some can consume dairy, some can't. Some function better with higher protein, some with higher fat or carbs, and not always the same strains. Some people require more salt in their diets, the list goes on.
Point is, everyone needs a different diet for healthy living, and I won't judge what people choose to eat, so long as it keeps them healthy. Me personally, I'm omnivore, I eat meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, and grains. If I don't eat everything balanced, I suffer for it, which happens far more often than I'd like, because stress and depression make me lazy and I either put little effort into cooking, or I just don't eat.

Eggs a cheap source of complete protein. The only problem is the taste becoming same-ish if you eat a lot of them.

Eggs also contain lots of saturated fat that contributes to our number one killer: heart disease.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was referring to saturated fats, not cholesterol. Saturated fats are a calorie-dense fat that is common in animal products like meat, milk, and eggs.

It's all about moderation. Saturated fat is perfectly fine so long as it's not over consumed. Should be kept at under 10% of your daily caloric intake. 3 large eggs a day for an individual with good eating habits is not a risk at all, and will only account for about a 1/4 of their daily saturated fat intake. That's based on someone with a 2000 calorie a day diet though, it will vary from person to person based on lifestyle, size and caloric intake.

3 large eggs a day is going to significantly increase your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Considering there are tons of studies with varying results, from good to bad when it comes to eggs. I'm inclined to believe that the eggs themselves aren't the issue, but rather other factors not taken into account, such as lifestyle and eating habits overall. Eggs, just like any other food are comprised of a variety of nutrients, and it's up to people to understand how much of everything they're putting into their body for the sake of balanced health.
Eggs per gram have less saturated fat than many meats, including chicken, which is widely considered healthy. How it would cause diabetes with such a low carb sugar value is beyond me, and seems a bit strange considering it's a food recommended to diabetics because of it's low sugar value. The only thing about eggs that could be considered risky is it's high cholesterol, but studies have been done showing that the cholesterol in eggs doesn't trigger the same in the body as other strains.
When there are situations where people have negative impacts from nutrients in foods, it is often a case of poor diet overall. If a person is concerned about cholesterol in eggs for example, they should simply ensure they're eating a balanced diet, ensure you're consuming fibrous foods, as fiber will reduce LDL, the bad cholesterol. Just as someone who consumes a lot of salt should ensure they're active, and also consume potassium to balance out.
Everything is about balance, but that's just my opinion based on extensive nutritional study for myself.

You seem to have glossed over that eggs contribute to cancer and heart disease! I would not be so quick to ignore that because heart disease and cancer are very common killers!
Here's an explanation on how saturated fat contributes to diabetes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRZduVxlP_U
And another related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAweyqtb7D8
Regarding balance: Why eat 3 eggs a day to raise your risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes when you can eat healthy foods instead? Why smoke 3 cigarettes a day when you could instead smoke none at all? You can never really balance out the bad you eat. Those 3 eggs of saturated fat are going to fill your arteries with sludge for hours even if you eat a salad later. Better to have none at all.

I eat lots of eggs and chicken, problem is I don't eat really balanced meals. I'm often lacking in fibrous vegetables, despite loving many of them, some Omega 3 I fall short on because I can't stand fish, the most I can really do is albacore tuna, but have to limit consumption of it for risk of too much mercury, etc etc. Probably shouldn't have blamed it simply on laziness from depression tho, there are other factors, but yah. For most part, I'm left rushing simple meals like chicken and rice, instead of taking the time to make all the fixins. It'll get better in due time, it's just how it is for the moment.

Generally omnivore, but I don't eat certain animals like, say, beavers or muskrats, because it seems pointless to kill them for food while there's plenty of other options available. And I don't eat ducks in particular, because I just love them too much.

"The 16:8 diet involves fasting for 16 hours per day and eating within an eight-hour window."
I usually wake up at 9, drink some water, start working to forget about hunger (it gets easier after a few weeks, if you are used to early breakfast), eat breakfast between 11-12, lunch between 14-15, snack (not very light, something like a large donut) at 17 and decently large dinner between 19-20. Go to sleep at 1-2am. It's a great diet to maintain or lose weight, and there is science supporting 16 hours of fast being good for your health.

I've heard this type of dieting is very healthy for longevity and weight loss, and also for maintaining good sleep cycles.

Although I stretched it to around 1PM before my first meal and tried to finish up by 7ish, following a similar principle was the best thing I ever did for my health. I dropped down close to my ideal weight class super fast, and it also made me far more productive, since even when I was in "food mode," it felt like far less of a priority than it usually does.
I hope I can regain the self-discipline to get back there eventually. I was training specifically for martial arts purposes at the time, and seeing as how I can¨t imagine myself rolling around with strangers on the mat again until we're living in a post-pandemic world, I've replaced my be-in-good-shape routine with an unfortunate if-there-is-food-eat-it routine.

A serving of grains, meat, and vegetables and fruits? Nice! Also that bread better be whole grain!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's probably white bread so it's not actually good for you. I don't think there's a serving of fruit, and only barely one from the greens. If you look at the back of a bag of lettuce you'll see it takes a lot of lettuce to make even one serving!

Tomato is a fruit. That green dense stuff aside from the lettuce looks like avocado or something, the picture is too low quality to tell for sure.

Keto themed diet. Basically fat is good, sugar/starch is bad.
Eating meat is fine, but you need 3x as much veg.
No sugars, pasta, grain, bread for the most part.

Eating lots of vegetables is great, but no whole grains? Whole grains lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. They're well worth including in a diet!
Eating lots of fat contributes to heart disease and diabetes. And the animal proteins from meat contribute to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. That's not good!

That is the data that has been trying to be proven for the past 100 years, but is backwards.
Our bodies are designed to digest fat and protein(although much of our protein comes from vegetables)
Our bodies are NOT designed to eat bird food aka grass seed. There is nothing you lose by having a diet with ZERO grains in it.
Additives, pesticides, and sugars cause heart disease and cancer. Not meat.
Also, no one should eat LOTS of fat. I made that specifically clear, by stating you need to eat 3x as much veg as meat. But fat isnt the evil thing its been made out to be. You're body only stores fat to use for later, because our diets are soo very heavy in sugar, starch, and grain (grain and starch get converted to sugar by candida yeast in our bodies)
Bottom line, the best way to have a healthier diet and feel better, is to eat less "sugars" and always eat 3x as much veg as meat.

Most of the fat we walk around with is directly fat we ate. Refined sugars are unhealthy, but sugars in whole fruit are very healthy and people should all try to get multiple servings of fruit and berries every day.
Our bodies are capable and proficient in eating whole grains. What we are not capable of doing is eating significant amounts of animal proteins and animal fats because we develop atherosclerotic lesions in our arteries leading to heart disease and death, and contributing to diabetes. If you cut whole grains from your diet you lose their protective effects that prevent you from getting heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
I try to base my diet around The Daily Dozen checklist: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist/

i don't care much about calories or how "healthy" food is. if you don't eat too much of something, then it will be fine.
just like with most things, find a balance.
