What is the single healthiest food (if you had to choose only one)?

[Anondragon2012]

Hello all,

Let's say for hypothetical reasons, you could only pick one food to eat for the next three days to 1 week,
Which food would be the most nutritious, the one that would least cause nutritional deficiencies?

I would say a basic carbohydrate like:
- Rice
- Pasta
- Oatmeal

Because although some vegetables are really nutritious, you could not actually live on it for 3 days (not enough energy content).

So what food would you pick as the healthiest and most nutritionally fulfilling for the body, the one with the most bang for your buck nutritionally?
You can also give me a top 3.

Thanks!

I'd go with nuts. Good fats, protein and some carbs.

Perhaps even better: trail mix.

[javigalicia11]

Oats for sure

[aafand]

bok bok chicken chicken bok bok chicken

[shesprints]

Potato

[MichielN]

Whole eggs

High quality protein, dietary fat, both essential fats, lots of vitamins/minerals

[Former300lber]

Grass Fed Steak

Or

Some type of nutrition bar


inb4 nutrition bar's aren't food, because yes they are.

Don't know why this is even a question as the situation is irrelevant.

salmon. protein, fats, omegas, tastes good with old bay. only downside is no carbs, but have potato, sweet potato, or rice on the side

Do you even know what the word "Hypothetical" means?

Thanks for the answers.
Interesting food for thought.

I see alot of protein here and there...Would you say that it would be better to eat protein rather than carbs (oatmeal, pasta, etc...) if you had to pick one?
I thought that human bodies were more vegetarian than carnivorous, as such would need the carbs more.
PS: This doesn't apply to people who mentioned eating it with carbs.

I think that if you eat only meat/fish, it will be hard to digest, but am unsure. With the exception of eggs which I think are easy to digest.

I would say some sort of very easily digestible carbohydrate like porridge or oats is best.
Or veggies but eaten in enough quantity so you get your needed calorie intake without starving.

Nope. But I do know what mental masturbation and waste of time mean.

My vote goes for Omega-3 Eggs.

Almost purely consists of fats and protein, the 2 essential macronutrients
^ contains the EFA, EPA/DHA, and is a complete source of protein

Has a ridiculous variety of micronutrients
^ it may be low in some, but variety nonetheless, (and if this were you're only food, thats a big deal)

If only it had fiber, this wouldn't even be a competition

[goodiegoodie]

pizza.

this ftw

[SuperHippo]

milk

Hamburgers.

[3Dirty]

Avocado ... -_-

[kefrox]

Lentils or oat bran. Both relatively good carbs and protein, but fats are quite low on the lentils.
