Do you eat functional foods?

LOL---I don't pay that much attention. I try to eat healthy, but that doesn't always work.

I never heard the term "functional" food before but I do try to eat healthy. Don't know if that's considered functional but I have been trying to increase my protein so I bought pancakes and waffles that have protein along with some protein bars. Don't know if these are the healthiest of choices instead of eating real meat but guess we'll see.

Yes, I eat functional foods by your definition. Eating healthy costs more than eating unhealthily. I prefer healthy.

I just eat good , natural food ….im not sure I’m keen on anything being added even if it is vitamins etc …. You should be able to get enough of what you need by eating healthily and having a varied diet.

I eat a good mix of healthy foods--protein, vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy (yogurt), etc.

Never heard of that, but I don't really eat those kind of foods. Just eat what I like and supplement with a multivitamin. Though I know those probably aren't enough, but I don't see me ever eating fruits or veggies lol

I tried the yogurt once. Not as good or satisfying as plain Greek yogurt, which also has probiotics. That is what yogurt is. If you buy unflavored Greek yogurt and flavor it yourself you get a lot of protein without so many carbs. If you can find it in stock Better Goods plain Greek yogurt is at a great price. It does not stay on the shelf long. The flavors are good as well, but for my purposes plain is better. I have a particular brand of bread I buy that is high protein and high fiber but tastes really good. All of those foods are yummy, fresh fruits, and veggies, etc.

Sometimes, that is why I got the Kefir. Generally, I like yogurt though. Mushrooms actually fit the functional food category..not a big fan, but they are good in certain things.

It's because of the social media influencers promoting healthy lifestyle and all! I see them everywhere too and my sister is into that.

I only eat organic or all natural fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads. Green yogurt is fine by me. I don’t seem to have a need for probiotics.

We're probably not really into that. We have plenty of vegies, not a lot of fruit, multi-grain bread and I have low-sugar cereal. The only yoghurt I really like is the sweetened stuff.

If I understood correctly, yes, I do eat functional food. Haha.

Veggies, Fruits and probiotics yes, the rest not really!

I have tried hard to make and serve balanced meals for myself and my family for years now. I do not buy enhanced items with probiotics, extra protein, etc. in them. We can eat fairly healthy without spending extra money, for the most part. It's the fresh produce meats now that are about to price themselves off the menu to many.

I don't know... Maybe, I just eat whatever is in the fridge or everything that my mom's cooks.

I have no idea what that is, either. My guess is no, I don't. Yogurt naturally has probiotics (and calcium), so I eat that, but $15 bread when $2 bread will fill me up just as well? No thanks.

I eat what I like and at this point in my life the heck with it just have to keep buggering on,

I do eat alot of fruits and some veggies. I also eat yogurt. I started eat fruits because I learned I have high pressure.

I have a whole new diet that I'm on for the kidney disease. No whole grains, no dairy, no processed foods, etc.

I try to do the 14-10 intermittent fasting and eat whatever I like during the 10-hour period that I can actually eat. Whole foods or functional foods are great. Lately I'm trying to focus on high-protein and high-fiber meals. I need to build muscle mass for my aging bones.
