🩰 Hey there! Jumping in tonight with a concept called “Nutrition by Addition!”
☀️ Pretty much exactly what it sounds like, it’s a way to make your meals more nutritious (literally “having more nutrients”) while keeping what makes a “less healthy” or simple food YUM.
🥐 (And before I start talking about this, simple carbohydrate (white bread, candy, regular pasta, juice, etc.) foods are PERFECT before or during dance and TOTALLY FINE to eat alone unless you have a specific medical condition)
🍓 If, however, it’s late at night and I’m NOT about to dance, I want to add some stuff to SLOW DOWN the sugar rush of my Nutella toast… I can add chia seeds or nuts on top, or eat it with something like Greek yogurt.
🧁 In the 3rd&4th slides, I offer some more examples about what kinds of foods you can use to “beef up” simple, convenient, or comfort foods. In most of those cases, the foods I added helped me get all three of the “macronutrients” (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—also fiber is a bonus), which make for MORE STABLE ENERGY, improved BONE/MUSCLE REPAIR, and a more NOURISHED BRAIN.
🪩 I’m a firm believer that all foods can work in someone’s eating patterns—especially if you know how to time them out. Any questions??
💬 Comment what you’re most excited about this dance season!!! Xoxo
