Ditto. I think it's all relative.
I am sure that some would not consider my diet super clean, but I do my best. I love chocolate, especially dark. I will NEVER give up my little pink packet in my coffee every morning, I love my protein power, etc.
For me, it's all about deciding which things I don't want to let go, and which things I could do better about. I have made a huge improvement in adding fresh or frozen fruits and veggies into my diet every day. I agree that frozen is most often cheaper... It can get expensive.
