Improper eating isn't what I really mean by "improper eating" as it
might cause obesity but it can also be eating that fails to provide
proper nutrition. One can eat foods that don't cause weight-gain
while also failing to provide proper nutrition.
I'll strive for greater clarity in future.
The formula should really read:
calories in >> calories out = excess weight (fat or obesity, etc.)
>> What is "improper eating"?

good food (now it's all deep fried and, therefore, inedible for any

[The restaurant has been at the same location for a very long time]
Cajun cuisine so good that it qualifies as a fair value but just barely.
We had an excellent appetizer of Asparagus; I had the Sole Stuffed
with Crab, she the Blackened Salmon. We shared a glass of wine; she
had a cuppa coffee.
The reason we had the asparagus appetizer was because when I asked
"what comes with that?" vegetables were not included. This is a
matter that bothers me as restaurants should provide the basics of a
balanced and healthful meal especially when the tab with toke is $80.
Vegetable-free meals are becoming so common that I often have some
for a pre-bed snack or as part of the next day's breakfast. This is
not a good thing.

I doubt that I've ever had a full portion of the stuff at one sitting
in my life. I consider it, and other cola drinks, to be vile,
unhealthful, swill that ought not be available to any non-adult.
Nevertheless, at the advertisement for which you have to pay in
Atlanta, there are probably more than a dozen versions of the stuff.
I tasted many, if not most, of them and was astonished at the
differences. Some, to US taste, are undrinkable.

I did ask and the answer was unblinkingly instantaneous. I think it
was 1902 but am not sure.

Doesn't have t'take "a lot of time".
A few weeks ago I prepared about a litre (I guess) of lentils with
rice and froze the lot in portion-size containers. Warms up nicely
and is one of the best sources of protein on the planet.
I believe tofu is a good source of protein that can probably be
enhanced by combining it with something complementary.
[Tofo is a complete protein that doesn't need a complement.]
My corner grocery sells hot-off-the-spit chicken for about U$4.50 and
throws in shredded cabbage, green and red hot sauces, tomato slices,
carrots, and chiles jalapeņos. I always tell myself to "save half for
tomorrow" but I always devour the whole thing at one sitting, maybe
two or three of 'em a month.
There are many inexpensive cuts of meat that are good sources of
protein. I particularly like chuck steak.
Also in the freezer is a whole buncha patties I made of ground turkey
that fry nicely to become tasty burgers.
I avoid prepared packaged foods (haven't bought any in memory) as
they're usually high in salt, sugar, and/or fat and aren't very
healthful. They also contain preservatives and other chemicals that
might not be good to ingest in considerable quantity.
My life-long diet has consisted mostly of healthful foods properly
prepared. Of course I eat junk food and stuff that contains a lot of
unhealthful stuff but it's rare. The advantage of rarely having such
foods is that they're an extremely enjoyable treat.
I'm not a food freak; I believe that eating a wide variety of foods
provides all the nutrition one needs. I'm an old man. I do not have
any problems with weight (my Body Mass Index is lower than 25), I
take no pills, have no ills (in spite of smoking for longer than
fifty years have lung capacity measured to be equivalent to a man
aged 21) have blood pressure well below any reported danger level, a
cholesterol count at the maximum of OK, and often hear young dancers
say they "hope I'm as energetic as you when I'm your age".
I attribute it all to how I eat. My only eating "problem" is that I
consume enormous quantities -- buffets lose money when I visit. I'll
probably die tomorrow.
