Apparently I have no clue anymore about what I should or shouldn't eat as evidenced by my lack of knowledge into bacon here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2026483
So since I haven't seen one of these threads, I figure I'll throw out a list of foods that I'm curious about and on a scale from 1-10, maybe the more knowledgable folks can rate where some of the more dubious foods fall into.
Scale from 1-10:
1-2 = Should always avoid/never eat // example: transfatty junk foods
3-4 = Ok as part of a cheat meal occasionally(once a week or less) // example: pizza/fried chicken/etc
5-6 = Ok a few times a week as part of a meal(for when you're too lazy to do better I guess)... has its pros and cons // example: white rice?
7-8 = Ok daily as part of a balanced meal w/ moderation // example: bacon
9-10 = Should always eat daily/staple you could always fall back on // example: fresh fruits & veggies
Rate this:
-Steak
-Eggs (including yolk)
-Your standard Quaker instant oatmeal
-Whole wheat toast
-Curry(japanese style w/ potatoes, shredded chicken breast, onions, garlic)
-Multigrain rice/Brown rice
-Strawberry spread/jam(has HFCS in it)
-Creamy peanut butter(non natural)
-Cheeseburgers/Hotdogs
-Ketchup
-Spam
-Waffles/Pancake
Keep in mind when rating that this is in general for the average joe, not someone who's strict on a specific diet such that you would rate something higher/lower because it has too much carbs or protein for that specific goal.
Feel free to list your own if you have something you're unsure about as well.
