Healthiest (blank) you have ever made?

Postby Fallen_Horse » Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:08 am

Just as a fun experiment I have been playing around with stuff on nutritiondata, trying to find the absolute 'healthiest' salad I could come up with. Now, I know healthy is a relative term, but I was trying to consider vitamins, minerals, and protein/carb/fat balance. What do you guys think? How could this be improved? And does anyone else have any super healthy recipes they want to share?

Super Salad
1 bunch of spinach
1 tomato
10 medium white mushrooms
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 can kidney beans
1tbsp olive oil
1tbsp lemon juice
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp pepper
1tsp oregano

It comes out to 800 cals, 19f, 127c, 49p (20%-61%-19%).

Fiber is 39, sugars 18.

Omega3 to omega6 is 1:2.

Amino acid score 92.

Vit A 750%
Vit C 1000%
Vit D 8%
Vit E 61%
Vit K 2150%
Thiamin 77%
Riboflavin 104%
Niacin 75%
Vitamin B6 116%
Folate 307%
Vitamin B12 1%
Pantothenic Acid 45%

Calcium 56%
Iron 121%
Magnesium 124%
Phosphorous 92%
Potassium 143%
Sodium 13%
Zinc 48%
Copper 106%
Manganese 275%
Selenium 40%
Lovin' it!

Hi fallen horse,

I'm new to all this working out calories, protein, vitamin count and the like.
How do you work these out, is there some website you use, or is it just accumulated experience?.

Not that i know what i'm talking about, its just that when i saw this healthy salad i was surprised to see it contained 800 calories, where the feck do they come from? I always thought salads were calorie light.

For this recipe I used nutritiondata.com, but for my daily calories I use fitday.com. You just throw the foods you ate in there and it calculates everything for you...
