The Best Healthy and Gluttonous Instagram Accounts to Follow Right Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Yale chapter.

When it comes to our foodstagrams, we all have a little angel and devil among our feed. There are days when we hit the gym in our new laced-up Nikes, have a killer workout, and decide “Hey! It’s fun to be healthy.”

Then there are times where it’s raining and most of the day is spent in bed watching Netflix; our munchies get the best of us and we succumb to baking or buying something decadently sweet. Whether you’re searching for a clean eat or a diet cheat, we’ve compiled a list of the best Instagrams to satisfy both kinds of cravings. Let the battle begin.

For those seeking clean eats inspo, follow these accounts:
