My fiancé and I mostly eat whole-foods but honestly, it's just a hassle to plan sometimes. If you want to eat right, you need to surround yourself with good foods, write down all the recipes you can make, adjust them if necessary, put them on a spin the wheel if you feel like it and properly meal plan every 2 weeks or so. If you don't meal plan it's over, you're going to walk into the market and come out with so much crap you don't need, and I can guarantee it's not going to be as healthy as if you just decided on what dinners you were going to buy for. That's the ONLY way it works, if you have a life outside of cooking at least. Don't know how you cook all the time, record, edit and upload constantly. Another big struggle is we don't own personal transport, and while it's not needed in the UK where we live, we'd spend half the time outside and exert so much less physical effort to actually go to the shops, which can be hard because my partner is disabled. A freezer-lined granny trolly and a couple of freezer bags help, but then we have to get back and crawl up 2 flights of stairs. Nightmare.

My eating disorder 😢 Even if it is delicious healthy vegan food, I either overeat or don't eat at all

I literally just don't like the taste of most veggies 😞. I have to process or add sauces (salt, sugar, oil etc) and by that point it's not as healthy as it ought to be. I love grains and legumes and fruits and try to eat whole foods but I have to choke down salads, eggplant, asparagus, tomatoes, etc :

I've got an allergy to alliums (onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives, etc) which makes using existing recipes difficult. I've been finding good substitutes (hing, cumin+paprika, fennel for texture...) but sometimes the alliums are integral :/
