turkey veggie meatloaf cups recipe image
Jo Jo
I'm on a special diet and cannot eat dairy (including eggs), tomatoes, or really any processed food. I have a hankering for some veggie turkey meatloaf and am looking for a recipe with no eggs. Will oil work?
Thanks!

Why does healthy food have to taste so bad?
ya_bish
when i look up healthy recipes, it's always some plain tasting bullshit that i would never eat. it's always something like "roast chicken with rosemary" or "bread crumb baked chicken fingers". they never have other types of foods besides stereotypical american food that my family never eats. my mom is from the philippines, so she makes a lot of filipino food. and my dad is black, so we also eat southern style food too sometimes. does anyone know any healthy recipies that aren't boring and dull?
here are some shitty recipes i've found just to give a reference:

Answer
It depends on what you are talking about when you say "healthy food".
I eat a very low fat, good carb, high protein diet and I'm sorry but it tastes a million times better than the nasty fatty traditional American diet. I cannot stand fat and grease in everything. In fact my digestive system physically cannot handle it after a while anymore. I've been eating healthy too long.
So no, healthy food does not taste bad.
I think what you are complaining about is the fact that it doesn't taste like what you want it to taste like (fatty food). Sorry but it's not going to taste anything like nasty unhealthy food.
That's the biggest issue that American's have. They are too used to eating disgusting and nasty food that anything "healthy" isn't good enough.
It's like why an alcoholic will complain if all you are giving them is light beer vs. hard liquor.
You will not be able to knock off unhealthy food and make it taste good healthy. When you make non-fat mac and cheese it isn't going to have the same flavor and texture you are looking for.
However those foods like mac and cheese should be consumed in moderation. Eat the unhealthy kind every now and then to get your fix. But if you are looking for unhealthy replacements because that is all you eat, it's time to re-evaulate your whole diet.
It does take time to get used to healthy food. Your body is addicted to fat, sodium, and cholesterol.
To answer the question I know plenty of healthy recipes.
Most of the recipes you use now can be made healthy when you only prepare them with non-fat or low fat diary products, lean meat (sirloin steak, NO less than 93/7 ground beef, and boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs are NOT healthy skinless or not.)), and you replace carbs with the whole wheat or high fiber options. Plus add more veggies. Each meal should have a fruit or veggie (1-3 servings).
