If You Want Seasonal Inspiration
Why: Sarah Forte's food snaps look like they belong on the website of an upscale Los Angeles artisanal restaurant. She focuses on eating quality, seasonal produce first -- but expect the occasional egg (perfectly poached), quinoa and even gluten-free waffle to pop up.

If You're Motivated by Adorable Animals
Why: The 23-year-old behind this account recovered from years of anxiety and binge eating, and is inspiring others to continue on their own journey with food. Peppered between the shots of mouthwatering veggie bowls and in-season fruit (from the farmer's market, we assume) are pictures of adorable baby animals -- think bunnies, goats and kittens -- that prove to be just as uplifting as the vegan fare she whips up.

"Eat clean, train mean," may be a mantra you've pinned multiple times, but outside of Pinterest, the lure of a cheesy, carb-loaded pizza after a long day of work may be nearly impossible to resist -- especially if you have to pass a pizza joint on your way home. The reason? Researchers at Cornell University found that women ate more chocolate when it was nearby and in sight. The good news? Researchers say this same principle applies to good food as well as bad. Keep healthful images close (as in, right on your smartphone) to inspire better habits. Here, the best Instagram accounts you need to follow for serious healthy-eating inspiration (it's food porn you won't feel guilty about recreating).
