The r/HealthyFood Help and Info Pantry Post September, 2024 - Ask general nutrition and diet related questions here

The front page of this sub is for sharing posts of specific / specified food, akin to the food subreddit, but for food which may be considered to be more healthful. The focus is solely on the food, its ingredient and nutritional composition, noting any recipe changes made for macro / micro adjustment.

This pinned community post is, at this time, for anything that is not a meal share image post, and is especially meant for questions regarding general nutrition, diet, and other personal context related queries

Participants here should:

  • be human
  • keep it civil
  • strive to educate
  • reference science / peer reviewed sources
  • avoid assumptions about ingredients, serving sizes, the poster, and their diet

Participants here should not:

  • berate, antagonize, inflame, or attack others
  • attack or berate others for not knowing what they don't know
  • spam or promote
  • add context of any kind involving a health concern
  • crusade or engage disrespectfully for or against any approach to food
  • reference social media as a source
  • add images or video
  • engage in meta discussion, subreddit or account callouts, or brigading

Please take giving health and diet advice seriously, be careful and appropriate about it

There is no singular magic diet for everyone on the planet. People have varying dietary needs / goals depending on physical condition, health issues, age, goals, and dietary and activity history. A 325 lb college freshman linebacker, an 85 lb underweight adult or pre-teen, and a diabetic have differing needs.

Avoid always scenarios, assumptions, and generalizations. Bashing on others demanding some macro / micro is all bad or all great for every person on the planet is unrealistic and not the way to discuss food nutritive content here.

Lastly and most important, for those seeking advice here about personal diet (and those trying to sneak in health concerns), proper and accurate advice involves;

  • testing to establish current values, tracking over time, and impacts from changes
  • examination of medical and family history
  • examination of dietary history and activity
  • an accredited professional, fully and properly educated, keeping up to date with the latest peer reviewed research. This will always be many times over more accurate and safe than resorting to 1) anonymous strangers who most often are not specialists or educated on the topic 2) people who do not have the proper info to advise you for your specific circumstance and 3) the horrid but realistic possibility that anonymous uninformed sources may either unintentionally or, sadly worse, intentionally give harmful advice

Without these things, any of the blind advice you receive may not only be wrong, it can even be dangerous.

Please take your health and advice sources seriously
