You are what you eat.. so what are you made of today?

Asked by ninjacolin (14246points) April 27th, 2010

In trying to understand the expression “you are what you eat” I’ve settled on this: The quality of my current physical makeup (skin cells, hair cells, fat cells, muscle tissue, bones, blood, brain cells, everything) is the product of what I’ve fed myself in the past. I was thinking how it would be interesting to know exactly how much of my current self is made out of good foods (raw materials) and how much was made out of crap. Would also be interesting to compare my current self against someone who ate better foods and against someone who ate crappier foods.

So far today, I’m about 50% Coffee (with cream and sugar), 40% yogurt, and 10% trail mix. How about you?

In a few minutes I’ll be getting a sub for lunch. It will make up maybe 50% of my overall intake for the day. Will include lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, a few sauces.. I’m trying not to have bacon but it’s hard not to!
