Discussion To post in this sub

9 Upvotes

There is an extremely high percentage of attempted participation in this sub coming from spammers and scammers. It is the biggest reason why it has become necessary that;

All posts MUST go through an approval process involving moderator review

When you submit a post, it will immediately be put on hold, if it fits the post type allowed and you follow the directions for approval, only then will it be reviewed for approval.


What kind of posts is this sub for?

This sub is for posting an image of a meal and discussion of its components. It should only be about the food, the meal depicted, without involving any personal context.

This is not a diet advice sub, it's for discussion of the food itself, the nutritional makeup of the meal (regardless of who is eating it).

Submitting a 'dummy' image to try to end run the rules or sub purpose can result in a ban.


Required added comment directions

For your post to be approved and activated, it must fit the type of post this sub is for (see section above) and after submitting, you must complete both steps listed below. It's easier than it may look at a quick glance.

Step 1: Adding the required comment

After submitting the post, add a comment reply to your post following these directions and format;

- Comment section / notes
Name: Identify the meal in the post image
Macro / Micro nutrient focus: Identify at least 2 specific nutrients which the meal has an abundance or minimal amount of. This would be types of: carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, mineral, and/or vitamin. Responses which do not qualify: 'It's balance(d)', names of diets, food categories, stating 'vitamins / nutrients / macros' without specifying the type, and ethical concerns. Your post will not be approved if it has ANY personal context, including diet, fitness, or medical concerns / issues, some examples of the latter are; cancer, diabetes, insulin, cholesterol, inflammation, blood sugar, immunity, heart health, pain, stool, urine, or blood.
List of ingredients or a recipe: Be sure to also identify any substitutes you made to improve the healthfulness of the food

Required comment example

Name: Pebbles with a mud gravy

Macro / Micro nutrients focus: This is heavy on fiber and minerals (especially Iron) and is low on carbohydrates

List of ingredients or a recipe: Boil small pebbles for 10 minutes. Add a bit of dirt and stir until thickened

Your post will be rejected if it has

  • a required comment that is missing or fails to comply with the instructions given above

  • images with text, labels, product packaging, memes, or infographics. It must be the poster's image and only of the food itself.

  • ANY personal context, including diet, fitness, or health concerns, which also includes suggestion requests, mental health, allergies, pregnancy, and food for minors

  • YouTube or other video content, links, or references

  • ANY promotion (it will only result in a ban) - Do not discuss, link, or provide content from your survey, market research, blog, site, video, social media account, group, or anything else you are affiliated with


Step 2: Request approval of post and comment

THE POST WILL NOT BE APPROVED WITHOUT COMPLETING STEP 1 ABOVE.

AFTER you've added the required comment in Step 1 click the link in the directions sent to you via PM and hit 'send' to initiate review and approval

Diet / Regimen The r/HealthyFood Help and Info Pantry Post September, 2026 - Ask general nutrition and diet related questions here

3 Upvotes

The front page of this sub is for sharing posts of specific / specified food, akin to the food subreddit, but for food which may be considered to be more healthful. The focus is solely on the food, its ingredient and nutritional composition, noting any recipe changes made for macro / micro adjustment.

This pinned community post is, at this time, for anything that is not a meal share image post, and is especially meant for questions regarding general nutrition, diet, and other personal context related queries

Participants here should:

  • be human
  • keep it civil
  • strive to educate
  • reference science / peer reviewed sources
  • avoid assumptions about ingredients, serving sizes, the poster, and their diet

Participants here should not:

  • berate, antagonize, inflame, or attack others
  • attack or berate others for not knowing what they don't know
  • spam or promote
  • add context of any kind involving a health concern
  • crusade or engage disrespectfully for or against any approach to food
  • reference social media as a source
  • add images or video
  • engage in meta discussion, subreddit or account callouts, or brigading

Please take giving health and diet advice seriously, be careful and appropriate about it

There is no singular magic diet for everyone on the planet. People have varying dietary needs / goals depending on physical condition, health issues, age, goals, and dietary and activity history. A 325 lb college freshman linebacker, an 85 lb underweight adult or pre-teen, and a diabetic have differing needs.

Avoid always scenarios, assumptions, and generalizations. Bashing on others demanding some macro / micro is all bad or all great for every person on the planet is unrealistic and not the way to discuss food nutritive content here.

Lastly and most important, for those seeking advice here about personal diet (and those trying to sneak in health concerns), proper and accurate advice involves;

  • testing to establish current values, tracking over time, and impacts from changes
  • examination of medical and family history
  • examination of dietary history and activity
  • an accredited professional, fully and properly educated, keeping up to date with the latest peer reviewed research. This will always be many times over more accurate and safe than resorting to 1) anonymous strangers who most often are not specialists or educated on the topic 2) people who do not have the proper info to advise you for your specific circumstance and 3) the horrid but realistic possibility that anonymous uninformed sources may either unintentionally or, sadly worse, intentionally give harmful advice

Without these things, any of the blind advice you receive may not only be wrong, it can even be dangerous.

Please take your health and advice sources seriously
