Eggplants are on Environmental Working Group's (EWG) [list](https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary.php) of foods least likely to have pesticides, aka the Clean Fifteen. Studies done by the USDA detected little to no pesticides on the produce on this list.

You probably don't need to buy organic eggplants.

Which of these foods would you probably not need to buy organic?

Cherry tomatoes are on [EWG's](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/little-healthy-changes-that-will-go-a-long-way?utm_term=.rgk9BXRQD#.sdVgkpKAe) Dirty Dozen list because they tested positive for pesticides and, in USDA studies, were found to have higher concentrations of pesticides even when they were washed.

You may want to splurge a little and buy organic cherry tomatoes.

Macronutrients are what provide you with the energy (calories) [your body needs](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/do-you-even-count-your-macros-bro?utm_term=.cf1WbD0m9#.moZpGkyjD) for daily functions — everything from thinking and speaking to walking and exercising.

The three macronutrients in the human diet are carbohydrates, fat, and protein.

What are the three macronutrients in the human diet?

While carbs are important, they're digested more quickly [than both fat and protein](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/sorry-i-cant-hear-you-over-my-stomach?utm_term=.sr61LaXRG#.bdkN4x7j2), which means you're hungrier sooner after eating something carby than you would be after eating something that also had fat or protein. Also, fat and protein [promote the release of satiety hormones](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2777281/), which will help you feel fuller.

Carbs probably won't keep you full for a long time.

Which macronutrient won't really keep you full for a long time?

Simple carbs (honey, candy, table sugar, etc.) are great for getting energy quickly because they have a simple chemical structure, which means they're digested quicker and therefore create a faster rise in blood sugar. Whereas many complex carbs (beans, whole grains, etc.) contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they take longer to digest, which means they don't have the same immediate impact on blood sugar, and don't get you energy as quickly.

Complex carbs [take longer to digest](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/more-like-carbra-streisand?utm_term=.ukyRky9lx#.atG5z6A7x) than simple carbs do.

What's the difference between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates?

[Apples](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/more-like-carbra-streisand?utm_term=.ukyRky9lx#.atG5z6A7x) are the simple carbs here!

Which food would be considered a simple carb?

Protein helps you [repair and build muscle](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/get-gains-now), while also assisting in your body's production of enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and also [stabilizing your blood sugar levels](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/too-much-protein-no-whey?utm_term=.yuRKaVL76#.peJ1AGaJ9).

Your body needs protein for all of the above!

Why does your body need protein?

The carbs we eat are turned into energy by the digestive system, which breaks carbs down into glucose — the sugar in our blood that powers the cells in our brains and bodies.

Carbs are [our main source of energy](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/more-like-carbra-streisand)!

Why does your body really need carbohydrates?

[Sweet potatoes](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/more-like-carbra-streisand?utm_term=.ukyRky9lx#.atG5z6A7x) are the complex carb here!

Which food would be considered a complex carb?

(Per 20-oz. serving, [Schweppes Tonic Water](http://www.schweppesus.com/#/products/tonic-water/schweppes-tonic-water) has 53.3g, [Coca-Cola](http://www.coca-colaproductfacts.com/en/coca-cola-products/coca-cola/) has 65g, and [Minute Maid Lemonade](http://www.minutemaid.com/products/lemonade/lemonade/) has 67g.)

Fats provide our bodies with stores of energy, they have anti-inflammatory properties, and they help us feel full, [boost the immune system](https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonrosenberg/do-you-even-count-your-macros-bro?utm_term=.ihePWbE6m#.xlP87JKXp), and synthesize hormones.

Fats play a role in [all of the above](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/avocados-for-president?utm_term=.tfAr1Y9RD#.xbW3RlNDj).

Why does your body need fats?

The [TGI Fridays Jack Daniel's Chicken Sandwich](https://www.tgifridays.com/pdf/nutrition.pdf) has 1,220 calories, the [Ruby Tuesday Baked Ravioli](https://www.nutritionix.com/i/ruby-tuesday/baked-ravioli/534449059a631f1645ecf580) has 1,040 calories, the Chili's Guacamole Beef Burger has 880 calories, and the [Applebee's Fiesta Chicken Chopped Salad (Regular)](http://www.nutrition-charts.com/applebees-nutrition-facts-calorie-information/) has 860 calories.

That's because they're [artificial fats](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallytamarkin/avocados-for-president?utm_term=.atG5z6A7x#.gqgE5GWLk) created by adding hydrogen to a liquid fat to make it solid.

The only thing you can do to sober up is wait for your body to digest all of the alcohol. Greasy, carby, delicious food sadly won't speed up the process.

Which food should you eat if you want to sober up after drinking alcohol?
