[Stiletto Kitty]

define 'snacks' since crackers are a snack...
do you have any meat in there? any dairy? and vegetables?

[Reno]

Yeah that would be the snacks.

[Stiletto Kitty]

Ok.could we be most specific about your 'snacks'
like describe in detail the kind of snacks you have

[Reno]

I'm going to replace all of my snack with Vegemite.

[Stiletto Kitty]

I'd sooner believe you were about to go celibate for the rest of your life.
Don't say stuff you don't mean. Trust me. I was raised vegetarian. Once you go bbq chicken you never go back. NEVER

[Ziegsy]

I hate vegetables, they all taste bitter to me,.same as fruit. The tart aftertaste is enough to make me ill.
I dont like red meat, large portions of meat, or big fillets of fish. I am INCREDIBLY picky.
Im also alergic to egg.
As a result what I do it is processed to hell or starchy.
Any advice? Im about to enbark on a diet.

What do you eat?

You sound like you're basically limited to pasta, legumes, and potatoes.

Do you take vitamins?

What fruits and vegetables have you tried? Because that's pretty hard to believe. Bitterness and sourness are two of the five basic flavors your tongue can detect, which are only produced by certain foods.

I have to believe that you either have some sort of medical condition, or that you've primarily only eaten citrus fruits and vegetables in the cabbage family.

I eat whatever I damn well please whenever I feel like it.

This.

But Reno I swear to god I will fight you if you call things chili that aren't actually chili.

Putting chili over rice is blasphemy.

[Ziegsy]

Apples, pears, strawberries, bananas, oranges... Even dragon heart (cus the name was cool), passionfruit, cranberries.. All of them taste alright until a few seconds after eating, where my tongue just shrivels up like ive eaten sherbert. It could be a medical thing, an intolerance maybe, but ive never looked into it.

As for vegies its a similar thing, except the taste is imediately bad, be it peas, carrots - anything!

And I pretty much live on pasta, rice, tuna, chicken nuggets and potatoes. :/
Its boring.

I would suggest you start taking a daily multi-vitamin, if you don't already do so. One with iron, calcium and zinc. Those are all bad to be deficient on, and the latter two actually effect how well your taste receptors work. That could explain why most things taste bad to you.

Even if it doesn't help in that regard, it would still be a good idea, for maintaining your overall health. Starchy foods don't give you much in the way of other nutrients, and the chicken nuggets probably don't give you anything of value. The tuna is about the only thing you're getting much from (which probably also includes too much mercury, unfortunately).

It's chili but then I take the chili and put it on Condoleezza Rice.

1. are you trying to lose weight or gain weight
2. bananas should taste sour or bitter.
3. do you know yourway around a kitchen

Here's some stuf you might be willing to try out:
- adding more red peppers and tomatoes to meals. (they boost your metabolism)
- most melons are sweeter than the berries you've been eating. You could try mango, kiwi, pineapples
- you could incorporate fruits into meals such as oatmeal or cold cereal. Normally you add milk to these dishes and that should help the fruits to be more palatable
- when cooking, try using coconut oil
- eat more wheat and rye breads
- buy wraps as opposed to bread
- varying the contents of your meal. apples don't go super well with cold cereal. but bananas do. certain combinations of foods are very appealing / conducive for certain flavors.
- cut out unnecessary/bad for you foods little by little.

I saw this show once with this lady who only ate cheese and potatoes for like her entire life. She cried and dry heaved when they tried to make her eat broccoli.

[Clockwork]

Was it multiple kinds of cheese, or the same cheese all the time?

[Reno]

I am pretty sure it was just melted American cheddar.

It was hilarious.
