Does anyone have a “normal” diet?

[Gogobabyshark]

Just that really, on here everyone seems to either eat a diet full of processed food or no ultra processed food and make every single item from scratch. So I wanted to know does anyone eat a “normal” not extreme diet? By that I mean cooking from scratch but also enjoying some oven food, plenty of fruit and vegetables alongside enjoying dairy milk, trying to buy healthier alternatives where liked by the family.
I feel like we do a decent job at eating well but some of these threads make me wonder

I am pretty healthy most of the time, but the few things I’m never giving up:
I will always get full fat milk and cheese. Get that low fat shit away from me. I rebuke it. And I’m gonna have fried chicken when I’m drunk.

I bake my own sourdough and use the starter in a lot of other things like pancakes / crackers / pizza dough etc but other than that I eat a pretty standard mix of frozen food / home made meals / the odd ready meal and takeaway. Some days no fruit. Some days not much veg. Some days very healthy.

Exactly. It’s like the threads where people argue about what household income is ‘average’ as if average is a subjective thing and not something that’s determined mathematically.

I have a normal diet, although I’m definitely more towards the healthy side. If I have the time and the ingredients then I’ll be steaming veggies, chopping salad, marinating salmon and toasting sourdough. If I don’t have the time or the ingredients, it’ll be a frozen pizza.

I'm on a weird diet. Trying to reduce sugar and refined carbs, easy at home, not so much when eating out. I have food intolerances, not all of which have been identified. I can't have fatty meat or most cheeses. Although I can eat sheep's and goat's cheese in small quantities.

I presume that I do NOT have a 'normal' diet, in that I eat a lot of canned food & most of it has some upf in it. My understanding of antiUPF thinking is that even 0.000000000001% UPF in a meal contaminates the entire meal and makes it entirely unhealthy (according to antiUPF people), that's how horrible UPF is.

But I disagree & feel my diet is pretty healthy, possibly much healthier than average.

Definitely middle here. DH is a bit obsessed with UHPs in theory and listens to the Zoe podcasts in the car but I do all the food shopping and cooking so middle.

Typical day for me:

Weetabix with semi skimmed milk and raisins (technically a UHP food but full of fibre and no added nonsense)

Sandwich (ham or beef with salad), made of good quality but still supermarket ingredients. Tomato cuppa soup (defo a UHP) and an orange

Dinner: Generally home made (spag bol, curry, chicken salad, tagine etc) but use some shortcuts like pre chopped onions, stock cubes, frozen mash, spice tailor spice kits etc.

Generally have fruit as a snack in the week but may also have a mini Kit Kat or some salt and vinegar snackajax. Haribo, ice cream etc a treat a few times a week. My main vice is lovely lovely wine.
