I would rather curl up and dig into:
- a sizzling, juicy steak
- a steaming bag of salty popcorn
- a huge bowl of fresh fruit
- a warm cup of hot cocoa.
In the morning, I generally:
- can’t do without my bacon and eggs
- enjoy whipping up a tasty meal
- grab the first thing in sight
- skip breakfast
If I had to give up one group of foods, I could easily lose:
- sugary sodas
- real butter
- popcorn
- any breakfast foods
The one food group that I could never give up is:
- red meat
- bread and other starches
- milk and yogurt
- fruit smoothies
By midafternoon, I’m feeling:
- ready to fall asleep
- a little tired and hungry
- very foggy, until I eat a sweet snack
- just fine
My “comfort foods” have a:
- warm, chewy texture
- salty, crunchy texture
- crispy, cold texture
- soft, smooth texture
