Nourishment

Date: May 09, 2022

How you fuel up after your workout can be the difference between transforming your body or staying the same. A hard 30 minute workout that burns 300 calories can all be undone with 2 servings of ranch dressing. So choose wisely. If meal time is too complicated with all the confusing information out there, let me help clarify things. I provide nutrition coaching services which includes a one-on-one counseling session to learn and understand your typical food choices. I can then make meal and snack suggestions, teach you how to decode food labels, and provide support while you build healthier habits to reach your goals.

3 Quick Eating Tips

Drink more water

Water will not only fill you up and help you feel fuller immediately after a meal or snack, but hydration is important for the digestion of food, the absorption of nutrients, and to produce energy from what you’ve eaten.

Include fruits or vegetables every time you eat

Produce provides fiber, which helps you keep that feeling of fullness after eating for a longer period of time. Colorful fruits and veggies are also a major source of special nutrients that prevent aging and fight off disease, so stock up during every meal and snack time. Having cereal? Pair it with a banana. Eating some steak? Some green beans would go great with that. Snacking on some chips? Dip them in some salsa first.

Eat lean protein

Whether you’re trying to build muscle or trying to slim down, lean sources of protein (fish, chicken, legumes, turkey, and lean cuts of red meat) should be on your plate. This is especially true for the morning and afternoon meals, which is when your body is more likely to absorb protein.
