What do you mean by a foodie though?
To me and DP food is very important, and we enjoy good food and sharing our mealtimes as a family.
I have come to accept that what we consider a normal diet is not what most people eat routinely though.
Bulk of what we eat is vegetables, followed by fruit. All rice is brown, we might occasionally eat chicken, sometimes eat fish, not bothered about red meat. We don't use oil or butter in cooking, never put it on sandwiches either. A bolognese or chillie con carne ill be made with loads of veg, red lentils and some quorn mince, cooked in water rather than fried, until water is boiled off then tomatoes added.
I guess what I'm saying is we don't use fat to cook things, we don't eat much fatty foods, our carb intake is very small and we eat a lot of pulses and wholegrains. We have a cooked breakfast every sunday of poached eggs, bacon cooked in the oven in water (best way to crisp it up without drying it out) and no butter on the toast. We've had it like this so long it tastes great to us!
But we tuck into shop bought muffins or doughnuts every now and then and DP loves chocolate.
We like good food but don't over indulge.
