If you chose mostly 1s: Regular Jane
Your tastes run towards the familiar and comforting. Celebs like Lara Flynn Boyle (a cheeseburger lover, though we don't know how many she eats, given how skinny she is), Britney Spears (Cheetos, Doritos, and fries) and Eva Mendes (pizza, beer, fast-food takeout), reportedly share your hankerings.
First, be aware that you need to mix things up a bit, and by that we mean, try hard to work some colour into your diet. Nutrient-dense green veggies like broccoli, green beans and spinach, plus bright yellow or orange peppers, carrots, and red tomato are essential, and ease up on the refined grains (switch from white bread to whole-wheat bread, for instance) for optimum health.
If you chose mostly 2s: Trendy eater
You've got a yen for healthy eating and yuppie-ish passion for your daily Starbucks run and eating out at trendy restaurants. Jennifer Garner, Nicole Kidman and post-breakup Reese Witherspoon and Drew Barrymore are some celebs who share your food profile.
For the most part, you eat well, but restaurants do tend to use more butter and salt than nutritionists recommended, so when dining out, order light, exercise portion control (aim to take one-half of your meal home in a doggy bag since resto portions are usually extra-large), and get salad dressings on the side.
If you chose mostly 3s: Food-fearing party girl
You're a wild child in the Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie vein. Food doesn't seem to be a high priority for you, and while this may keep you in size 2 clothing, it's not ideal for your health.
Go to Canada's Health Guide and click on “Create My Food Guide” to create a personalized eating plan, to help get your recommended servings of fruit and veg, whole grains, meat and alternatives and dairy and alternatives. Eating right will not, repeat not, make you fat. TIP: Sushi and vegetarian restaurants are two trendy, healthful and low-cal options to try.
If you chose mostly 4s: Health nut
Like Gwyneth Paltrow, Christy Turlington, and – believe it or not – Clint Eastwood (a committed tofu- and fruit-loving vegan), you're a whole foods-ista; you eat healthfully and eschew trashy convenience foods in favour of fresh veggies and fruit (probably organic), nuts, and natural grains. We don't really have much advice to give you, except to say: nutrition is all about balance. It's about fueling our bodies to stay healthy, but also, indulging every so often so we're happy, too. So if soy tirimisu beckons one night, don't feel guilty about treating yourself to dessert!
