Very informative thread. This is very similar to the "eating routine" I follow. I never count fat or count calories, I just know what is healthy and what is not and I enjoy my tasty and nutritious meals with vigor.
About eggs, as far as I know all (or a very high %) of the egg's fat is contained in the yolk. The white part of the egg is almost all protein and it is in fact a very basic form of protein which is very good for building up. Would you say this is true?
In reference to your post about exercise. I think the key is to find a method of working out that you really enjoy. I do some running now and then but this is purely for fitness because I find it boring (even with the shuffle) and I push myself so its hard going too! I also do taekwondo, play soccer and cycle alot... I immensely enjoy these activities and would never consider them a chore.
Red meat is very high in iron and tasty too. I have a 200g filet migon steak maybe 3x a month or so. I love tuna, salmon, chicken and share your passion for beans. My relatives in Portugal always make a black bean stew when I visit, I think it is typically a brazillian dish.
Most of my friends drink way too much and eat crap, although good food in the UK costs £$£$.
