Never been as sick in my life as I was the past 10 days🫠 and safe to say, nutrition definitely looked a little different.

The reasons being (as is usually the case when you’re sick), a lot of extra barriers around to eating ‘normally’:
❤️‍🩹very low appetite
❤️‍🩹no sense of taste or smell, which makes food super unappealing
❤️‍🩹a very very sore throat
❤️‍🩹no energy to cook/prepare food
❤️‍🩹very hard to manage blood sugar levels

So I’ve definitely eaten less, less ‘balanced’, and not my normal: instead prioritising whatever felt manageable, which increased significantly in the second week once I started feeling that little bit better!

Just another reminder that there will be things in life totally outside of your control that impact your nutrition, and being able to navigate these situations and give yourself some grace when things aren’t ‘ideal’ nutrition wise, is such an important tool to have in your toolbox 🫶🏼❤️‍🔥

An example day on a plate: real life client example⛽️🤩

Focused on improving energy levels throughout the day, and fuelling CrossFit training performance and recovery for afternoon sessions 🤝🏼

Remember that everyone’s exact needs will look a little different due to a wide variety of factors, but some KEY takeaways:

✅ ensure regular meals and snacks throughout the day to support energy levels and meet other energy needs for intense exercise.

✅ focus on making meals balanced, to include a serve of protein, carbs, healthy fats and colour/micronutrients. Not just protein and veggies!!

✅ prioritise carbs around training, to top up glycogen stores and support performance, as well as replace what you’ve used up after training!

✅ not forgetting the essential basics like plenty of fluids, and being prepared for the day ahead ❤️‍🔥

Just because we FEEL something, doesn’t mean it’s TRUE🫶🏼⛽️❤️‍🔥

Understanding this is such an important part of overcoming food guilt and building a healthy relationship with food…

Guilt = doing something that is against our values and that we believe is wrong. Breaking rules we’ve made for ourselves.

Is eating enough/more to FUEL and NOURISH your body properly, support your training better, or maybe it’s eating some foods not for nutrition but for ENJOYMENT, in line with where you’d like to get to?

The it’s something you should feel PROUD for doing, and that guilty feeling is simply a lingering of breaking an old rule from that old mindset, that no longer serves you 🤝🏼✨

Truly all hurt my soul🥺🤍
Did I miss anything?

What’s been keeping me fuelled recently 🙂‍↕️❤️‍🔥🤝🏼

I’m a big creature of habit and will eat pretty similar things most days: it keeps things so much easier, reduces decision overwhelm, and if you know it works (is delicious, and keeps you feeling good!) then why change it ✅

BUT I do like to make a few little swaps regularly just to add extra variety in, and keep things interesting to prevent getting sick of meals.

That can be as simple as swapping up the toppings on my oats to different types of fruits or a different nut butter variety, or adding some different toppings or condiments to my rice bowls ✨🤗

If there’s anything I haven’t posted a recipe for that you’d like, just leave a comment! 🤍

If your weekly meal planning doesn’t include planning your snacks, then you’re missing a big part of your nutrition 🌟⛽️

Snacks still get a bad rap…but in my eyes, they’re such a KEY component of staying well fuelled 😌

Avoiding snacks leads to:
🤍 under fuelling if you’re an active person/athlete
🤍 likely chance of over eating later
🤍 low energy levels, poor concentration and low mood if you’re trying to go for too long periods of time without eating
🤍 grazing throughout the day trying to avoid committing to a snack…which usually means you never feel full or satisfied

PLAN AHEAD some filling and fuelling snack options for the week, so you’re ready to go with easy options during the busy week day🙌🏼

And smaller/lower calorie isn’t better when it comes to snacks. How big/energy dense snacks need to be is very relative to the individual but what they always should be is enough to keep you energised, satiated and full to the next meal✅❤️‍🔥
