I was thinking about this the other day so thought I'd make a thread about it.

If you could only choose one of each, what would it be? Here's mine:

Protein source: chicken, because it's so versatile and tasty. Never gets boring (IMO).

Carb source: brown rice. Probably because I'm half filipino and rice is a staple for them.

Veg: broccoli. Probably due to taste.

Fruit: banana. I usually have one PWO and I like them lol

Fats: olive oil. Taste isn't too strong so I like it for cooking.

Good thread Roadz. I am assuming I have to choose "good choices"?!

Protein - Chocolate flavoured protein! Gives me my chocolate fix without having to resort to the real stuff.
Carb source - Brown Basmati rice, I just love the stuff.
Veg - Green beans. Yummy.
Fat - Struggling here. Can't decide between EVOO, Hemp Oil or Cashew Nuts!!!!
Fruit - Banana. Fantastic for my swimming.

I was wondering the same pingu, i've gone for healthy foods which i like the taste of also.

Protein source: Smoked salmon

Carb source: shreddies (suppose i'd need milk here too) ok...WG rice also!

Veg: Spinach

Fruit: Blackberries

Fats: Macadamia nuts

I've just realised I didn't state this in the opening post... It is pretty obvious but just in case people don't see it this way. When I said you can only choose one, I meant it as in you had to eat your choices for the rest of your life and nothing else!

Protein - Steak. Can do plenty with this too. goes great in stir frys etc. fuk the recipe books lol

Carbs - Potatoes. you can have them roast/mashed, make chips etc etc.

Fats - Butter. Couldnt live without some good old butter to put onto my potatoes. Shove yer Evo oil and and all that crap if i can only have the one!

Veg - Chives- again. im thinking mash potatoes here lol

Fruit - Red Grapes. No better fruit than a good bunch of red grapes. could even use them to make some wine!

Protein - Salmon
Carbs - Aktivated Barley
Veg - Brocolli
Fat - Flaxseed
Fruit - Avocado

I reckon I could survive easily enough on that lot

I'd choose similarly:

Protein: salmon
Carbs: quinoa
Veg: spinach
Fat: EVOO
Fruit: avocado

Protein - Red Meat, with a big'ol slice of marbled fat down the side - perfect man food!!

Carb - <struggles>...ummm... Sweet Taters

Veg - Broccoli, for sure!

Fat - Double cream with some BSD MPC is da bomb but I think it's goto be Macadmia Nut oil - raw nut not suitable :'(

Fruit - If I didn't have aproblem with seeds Strawberries but since I have and I can't have, Cantaloupe Melon

Excellent thread idea.

Protein source: Venison (nutritious, free range, lean, tasty)

Carb source: Buckwheat. (most nutritous starchy carb i have found, tasty)

Veg: Kale/greens (it's all pretty much the same)

Fruit: Kiwi (low sugar, high vit C, tasty, eaten organic with skin on!)

Fats: Tahini (not strictly a pure fat but mostly oil!, tasty, endocrine benefits, very nutritious)

For practicality.

Protein - Chicken as it's lean and easily digested in quantity.

Carbs - Brown Basmati Rice as it's a fav slow release source.

Veg - Broccolli as it's nutritious and a great filler.

Fruit - Avocado as again excellent nutritional value and a great cheat way for another fat source.

Fat - A quality Olive Oil as it's versatile and I don't need to use it for cooking up chicken so retain it's raw goodness.

As in I got a fat source in the fruit section

Protein - Ribeye beef
Carb - Brown Rice
Veg - Mushrooms if thats allowed, if not Spinnach
Fat - Proper Butter
Fruit - Blueberries

Id happily eat roast ribeye with brown rice, mushrooms sauted in butter and garlic with blueberries for desert at every meal.

Protein - beef
Carb - potatoes
Veg - chickpeas
Fat - olive oil
Fruit - watermelon

Of course I would cheat all the time anyway

Alex, you and I have pretty much the same list, other than the fruit. I can't stand avocados... I think they taste like shit. I also really like blueberries.

I dunno...it sounds lovely to me! (or does that make me a weirdo too?! )

Mushrooms, garlic and blueberries. For dessert?

It were any other fruit then probably grapes but I went for the fat vitamin content.

It wasn't the best, but I'm glad someone did nonetheless

Putting nutrient content and availability as equal priority to taste I'd go with the following list:

Protein: whey isolate (highest BV and PDCAAS score of any protein, would want one especially high in alpha-lactalbumin content). If had to be a natural food I'd go with organic free range eggs.

Carb: quinoa (slow energy release, high PDCAAS for protein content, good fiber content)

Veg: brocolli (vit & mineral content, fiber, phytonutrients)

Fruit: blueberries (vit & min content, antioxidants)

Fat: hemp oil (great balance of fatty acids)

Protein - Venison, awesome in every way.
Carbs - Sweet potatoes, perfect carb in my opinion. Sweet, versatile and very nutritious.
Veg - Sauerkraut, very tasty and very nutritious.
Fat - butter oil, high in fat soluble vits and perfect cooking oil.
Fruit - Avocados, don't really do fruits other than tomatoes so i'll cheat. I don't think they are particularly important anyway.
