The biggest challenge I have is making healthy foods for my family that everyone will eat and trying to slim down foods that we all love--like pizza and nachos!

The most cjallenging part of eating well? My boyfriend! We live toether and he insists on going grocery shopping eith me because I keep him in "whole grain hell"!!! He refuses to eat anything even remotely healthy, so we actually fix our meals separately and shop separately! But it's so difficult to avoid the temptation of his Oreos!!!!!

The most Challenging about eating well for myself is finding something that will stick to my ribs and make be feel full for a period of time. I love veg. and fruit and all the healthy foods, but I just have a feeling of hunger too soon after eating.

The most challenging thing about eating well, in my opinion, is being resourceful in finding and/or creating healthy recipes that will not only satisfy your appetite, nourish you, AND make enough for lunch the next day!

The most challenging part about eating healthy is TIME (as always, am I right?)...by the time I get home from work, hopefully have time to work out and get to the kitchen it's so late! I hate late dinner meals, so sometimes popping in a frozen pizza or something is just easier than eating at 10pm.

The most challenging is being able to afford the weekly shopping for fresh fruit and veggies. My second challenge is staying away from bad carbs, they love me!

its crock pot season, let it do the work, while your at work. :)

My biggest challenge is cutting down on portion size.

I'm a picky eater, which makes it a little more difficult to pick healthy foods! And, it's hard not to finish what my kids don't eat!

Krista Miller 1-18-2011 @ 11:59PM

My biggest challenge is getting home after a long day at school and having 3 hungry kids that want to eat right now and always having fresh healthy ingredients on hand.

The hardest part for me is taking the time after work to cook up something healthy and delicious! Often times after an extremely busy day I'll get lazy and order a pizza - not too good! So much healthier to make one, I know, but easier said than done.

Also, I tend to get bored with the same-old recipes.

One of my challenges to eating better, is it's all too easy to grab something not so healthy instead of taking the time to make something better. I may know I have salad ingredients at home, but it's easier to stop on the way home and buy a sandwich or something since I can eat it right away.

The most challenging thing for me is managing my hunger. When I get really hungry the last thing I want to eat are fruits and vegetables.

Pam Deer 1-17-2011 @ 2:45PM

The hardest thing for me is that I am not able to get out very often so staying at home all the time, I get bored so then I go rumaging through the kitchen and put any thing in my mouth, go or bad for me.

Being a widow it's hard to cook for one, and eating out is even harder. When losing weight, healthy recipes would be appreciated,

sgk1289 1-19-2011 @ 2:17PM

I get hungry at 4 or so and tend to eat whatever is handy. I try to have healthy choices around but I don't always.

Molly 1-17-2011 @ 3:43PM

I would say variety. I always make the same low cal meals then get burned out. I try tweaking but it always ends up being basically the same. I need to learn some new recipes to change it up!

Planning meals for single person is a challenge. I recently lost a lot of weight due to surgery and the stress of my husband's long term illness. It was the hard way to do it but I've been maintaining that weight for 2 months now. I never was a snacker (cookies, chips etc) so that wasn't a problem. Using herbs a lot has helped make a simple meal taste better and still feel good about myself.

Hazel A. Kolsrud 1-17-2011 @ 8:25PM

The most difficult thing for me is to keep the best foods on hand. I am 84 years old and live alone. Very difficult to cook for one person and stay physically fit!

Theresa Smith 1-17-2011 @ 5:10PM

The thing I find most challenging about eating well is truly understanding the calories in food that you purchase and cook or you are served at a restaurant. I have difficulty guessing at sizes like ounces or tablespoons.
