Here at Cranky Fitness, we're big fans of healthy eating. We love the smug feeling that comes from enjoying a delicious, well-balanced meal full of fresh nutritious whole foods.

But we also enjoy eating crap that's bad for us.  Hell, life is short. We just try to work on that tedious concept of "moderation."   When we fail at that? We figure a big bunch of broccoli at the next meal will erase all our dietary sins. And if that's not scientifically accurate, well, then screw science.

In any event, there's a lot of nutritional research and advice out there on what's healthy to eat and what's not. We don't subscribe whole-heartedly to any particular diet or nutrition plan, whether it's Low-fat, Primal, Atkins, Weight Watchers, or Breatharian. But we do have thoughts and opinions about it all, even though we are NOT experts.
 
So here are a few posts about random nutritional topics, followed by a bigger index of food-related topics.
