What fuels you?

So my friend Maya told me about The Daily Plate and I am just getting around to checking it out. Partly because the holidays completely through me out of my healthly eating ways and partly because I am going on vacation next month and need to get my body back in shape. This is my second day and I must say I have been made fully aware of how awful we (Americans) eat. Paying attention to the calories, fat, sodium, sugar, etc. in everything you put in your mouth makes you realize how awful some of the things you have been eating actually are. No wonder almost everyone I know feels like shit most of the time. They say you are what you eat.
