I must ask...what is "clean" eating? Is this basically no processed foods? I've read so many different descriptions on this on the internet that I've become a little confused. I've started to fall back into my old bread addiction, so while I am addressing that I am looking at other ways to eat healthier...probably by simply adding more fresh/frozen veggies.

[Crankin]

Not for me, although I don't really eat any processed stuff. I just meant less restaurants this week and next, not so much wine or beer.
I've just had a lot of social stuff. It seems like my life revolves around riding and eating! DH is in Asia for almost 2 weeks, so I can concentrate on eating less, although tomorrow I am going to a 2.5 day class and am staying in a hotel, since it's about 60 miles from here and I don't want to drive back and forth. This will involve some Marriott bistro meals and probably lunch from the university cafeteria, which should be fine, since there will always be a salad bar. But, it will involve a lot of sitting. I can ride tomorrow in the AM, but will have to use the fitness center and pool at the hotel.

I've been wondering this for some time, it's been obvious to me that the term is used in different ways and was curious how women on this forum use it. It is helpful!

I hardly ever eat at restaurants, the rare times I do it is a treat. I think the only times I've done so this year has been with certain TE women

Catrin, considering how often I eat out and cook, it's amazing my weight stays fairly stable. It's all about the exercise for me, although I know others will say no. I really don't eat anything bad, but I do have to watch the carbs.

B: egg white omelette, goat cheese, salsa, an orange, coffee
L: left over whole wheat sprouted risotto and tofu, an apple
S: Luna Bar
D: salad from the salad bar at the university where my class is. Veggies, kidney beans, goat cheese, peppers, cup of chicken rice soup, small slice of whole wheat ciabatta dipped in olive oil, apple

Made whole wheat raspberry pancakes for breakfast:

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (bob's red mill or something like that)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg
3/4 c. milk
3/4 c. frozen raspberries

These are great with genuine maple syrup, but if you don't have maple syrup, I would add some sugar to the recipe to sweeten the pancakes.
