We Tried the AVERAGE AMERICAN DIET, Here's What Happened
Fast Food, Big Food, Cheap Food. Just what IS the average American diet? As the United States is a big country there's many potential answers, but today we'll be grabbing some of the most popular grocery store items (foods we also ate frequently growing up) and seeing how exactly we feel and also examining what exactly IS in the diet we're consuming.

As an Asian, what shocked me the most is finding out that a lot of American don’t drink water; the drink soda. So. Mind. Blown. In my country soda is more like occasional treats and definitely not substitute for water, heck we even drink more water afterwards if we do drink soda. When I visited America, I was in awe of their selection of sodas and snacks, though lots of them were just too sweet for my palate. Somehow being grateful that living in second world country means that we have access to fresh food more than the heavily processed one in America; fresh food is cheaper than processed one too.

Anabolic diet the only way I can eat pizza but gotta make it myself lol

[@Debilinside]

Whats funny about this actually you can eat a medium (thats 32 CM diameter in my country) pizza without getting overly fat. You have to keep in mind it contains 1200-1600 calories though, so you have to adjust your other meals. Fat loss is ultimately calories in < calories out. So if you have oats in the morning, a medium pizza at lunch and some tuna and veggies at the evening you can stay in calorie deficit without being really hungry. Sure macros and less processed whole foods help a lot (mainly through their bigger volume and lower nutrition density), but you can absolutely can loose weight eating unhealthy if you control your portions.

[@b1uezer]

@@Debilinside There was a time I actually did just that lol, back in my early 20s on the weekends I would get a small or medium pizza and eat the whole thing as a cheat meal (did good the rest of the week), but not eat much else for the day. It worked out pretty well and I was really happy I got to eat pizza.

[@Debilinside]

@@b1uezer Yeah I do that too :D I love pizza and good burgers so would be really unhappy without them. I have friday or saturday as a refill day where I eat at maintenance or a bit above and allow myself to enjoy these type of foods without worry. Rest of the week I keep the 3-400 deficit.

One thing I like about Trader Joe’s (and probably Aldi) is that everything is mostly all made by the company so you’ll most likely pick something healthy or not horrible if you randomly shop there. But otherwise, it’s kinda scary how the VAST majority of things sold in the supermarket aren’t good for you

[@theeleventh805gamer7]

My family occasionally shops at Trader Joe’s and unfortunately it’s almost like a luxury for us. I have teacher that loves shopping there. It kinda hints shes sorta well off and very educated in health. The healthiest American I’ve ever met lol. If only they get a little cheaper, I think people would start eating healthier. I’m not saying I ate shit. I had home cooked meals for most part and only have fast food once or twice a month. But I guess they put prices down then they’d have to make cheaper and less healthier products.

[@RedHairedRiot]

You’re super right about the extremes aspect as well. All I could think was “it’s no wonder eating disorders are at an all time high” and that includes underrating and overeating because of sugar and salt addiction, etc. There IS a healthy middle ground between super healthy clean eating (which also leads to orthorexia in some cases) and having Reese’s Puffs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I will fully admit to having junk food as part of my family's diet, but saying that, I do try and home cook more than half our meals in a given week too.
