Nutrition Awareness

Eating “perfectly” all week.
Completely off the rails by Friday night.
Back on track Monday.
Repeat repeat repeat 🫠
That was me for yeaaaars!

Here’s what nobody told me: that cycle isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a pattern problem.

And there are actually 4 distinct eating personalities that explain why people get stuck (and what works for each one!)

I just built a free 2-minute quiz to help you find yours.

Comment “QUIZ” and I’ll send it to you directly.

You used to have your meals handled but then... you moved in with a man (😲!!_

Now, your leftovers disappear overnight.
There’s always ice cream in the freezer (that you didn’t even want!!)
And somehow you’re at dinner ordering apps, entrees, drinks and dessert... on a friggin' Tuesday.

Sound familiar?

This week on the Nutrition Awareness Podcast, we’re talking about the very real (and very unspoken) challenge of trying to eat well when your environment isn’t fully yours anymore.

It's on how to stick to your guns when you're..... sharing a kitchen with someone who eats completely differently than you.. navigating “big ordering energy” when you go out.. living with strong opinions about carbs, protein, or whatever Joe rogan diet is trending.. and realizing your food choices are now influenced 24/7

We get into allllllll of it but more importantly, we talk about what actually helps YOU stay well!

Things like:
- The “two-out-of-six” rule for dining out
- Why being well-fueled earlier in the day changes everything at night
- And how to take back just enough control without turning into the food police

If you’ve ever felt like eating well got harder the moment you stopped living alone, this one will hit. And hopefully, make you LOL along the way! ;)

The first ingredient in Heinz ketchup is tomato concentrate. That means the tomatoes have had most of their water content removed, typically via heat evaporation or filtration, which results in a thick, syrup-like liquid. This process reduces volume for easier, cheaper transport and storage, creating a longer shelf-life product.🥫

The first ingredient in Smash Kitchen ketchup is simple organic tomato puree. You can tell in the consistency. Heinz is a thin syrupy texture and Smash Kitchen has some actual tomato puree consistency to it (like real food should).🍅

You might be surprised I’m not recommending Primal Kitchen ketchup since I’m usually a big fan of their products. Well their ketchup sucks! It tastes like straight vinegar🤢

Where to find Smash Foods ketchup: Walmart, Sprouts

Tried 2 new (to me) bars. Won’t buy either again. The taste has gotta be there! Doesn’t matter how “good” it is for you, if I don’t enjoy eating it I’m not going to recommend it.

Anything that only requires me throwing it in a skillet with no planning, no seasoning, no BS ingredients but helps me hit my protein goals = sign me up. is always a go to, haven’t had anything of theirs I don’t like.

Go-gurt has actually undergone several ingredient changes over the past decade (driven by consumer demand— good job guys)! They took out HFCS, artificial flavors and colors, and reduced the sugar. But, they’ve still got a ways to go. My 4-year old is a big fan of these new Siggi’s packs, and I’m a fan of the lower sugar, higher protein, and better ingredients.

So far, I’ve found these at Target, Whole Foods, and Sprouts
