GO BLUE!
Just a math graduate student trying to live a healthier lifestyle. This includes preparing more meals from scratch (SparkRecipes.com is very useful for this purpose) and making sure I am getting enough vitamins and nutrients from food sources, rather than a multivitamin.
I have an appreciation for almost all kinds of food (fast food and healthy food alike) and find that moderation works for me. The only foods I tend to avoid are ones that contain unnatural sources of trans fats ...

I have an appreciation for almost all kinds of food (fast food and healthy food alike) and find that moderation works for me. The only foods I tend to avoid are ones that contain unnatural sources of trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), but I would like to eat more fresh fruits & veggies and less meat.
I try to average around 1800* calories a day. Sometimes it's a lot more, sometimes a lot less, but on a monthly basis it works out to be about 1800/day. :) Weight loss is not one of my goals--in fact, I would like to some day work towards putting on 5-7 lb of mostly muscle mass... but still need to work on consistency in my strength training routine.
*2000-2200 cal/day when I am training for a 5k.
