CAFE vs HOMEMADE?!

🍳Now, let me make clear… I'm a big lover of a delicious cafe breakfast, however, I also noticed (and enjoyed) the savings that happened during lockdown when we couldn’t eat out as much.

So, here's an interesting comparison to get you thinking about how you spend your πŸ’°. Can we combine a love for eating out and also take on some of those budgeting wins from lockdown living?

❔Are there some meals you might be able to make just as delicious, if not more delicious from home for a loooot cheaper?

I love ordering some yummy eggs and avo on toast, but I can’t seem to say no to the $5+ sides. 😩

When it comes to food, enjoy those delicious meals eaten out with friends and family. However, it won't hurt to think about where and how you can get the most bang for you buck with food. 🧐

Enjoy it, invite your pals over for a Saturday morning breakfast feast and save $$$.

Happy Friday! πŸ’ƒπŸΌ

Hunger - what does it mean and what is our body telling us?!

There's a heap of reasons you might experience feelings of hunger, and they're all worth listening to. Sadly, hunger is something I often see people ignoring, or even being afraid of due to fear of not knowing how to manage it, thinking they have no self-control or thinking they just have to "learn to be hungry".

This is something that usually has some really simple fixes - depending on the reasons for hunger.

So, next time you're feeling hungry (or hangry) and it's left you feeling a little bit confused about what to do about it... have a think about why you might be experiencing the hunger.

Some common ones:
1. You haven't eaten anything yet (or for a few hours). In which case, go and eat something. Aim to include something with filling protein, healthy fats and fibre to keep you feeling satisfied.

2. You've exercised and your body has burnt through some serious fuel!!!! In which case, you need to consider your training load and focus on refuelling at your next meal. This will help with recovery, will replenish your fuel stores and will keep you satisfied. Don't leave out the crucial elements of a post-exercise meal: carbs + protein.

3. You haven't had a great sleep. Poor sleep can have a big impact on your eating behaviours the next day. Your body is lacking energy, so it's going to signal you to eat, in hope of gaining some energy!

4. You haven't eaten enough protein, fat and fibre. These nutrients play key roles in keeping you satisfied over the day. Look back over the day, have you included these at each meal or snack?

5. You've eaten while distracted over the day. A common one in the WFH era. Have you eaten all of your meals distracted by your phone/computer/TV? Remove distractions while eating, give your body & brain the best chance at enjoying and taking note of the meal you've eaten!

Hungry and need something on-the-go?

Be prepared with some easy on-the-go snacks. Here are some of my favourite options!

πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ If you find you get partiuclarly snacky on the way home from work, plan ahead.

πŸš™ I often suggest keeping some healthy snacks stashed in your bag or car.

That way you can have a filling, nutritious snack at the time of your hunger, rather than let that hunger build and then feel you need to demolish any food in site when you get home.

πŸ“’ HEY YOU, YOUR BODY NEEDS FUEL

Just leaving this here for anyone who needs to see this.

❕Remember: your body is burning fuel, all the time. Even when you're at rest, you're using fuel. If you're moving, that means you're using more fuel.

Don't forget to top up the tank with a quality fuel source.

You can't expect your body to thrive and feel great each day if you aren't giving it the fuel it needs to do so.

⛽️ Fuel for your Workload!

I often have athlete or active clients present to me, sharing that they expereince fatigue or burn out during their training sessions or over the training week (🚩🚩🚩).

πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ Something that I always investigate is what their fuelling is like around training and exercise, particularly tough sessions. Much of the time, they are heading into really high output sessions, that require quality performance with inadeqaute (or no) fuel on board!

🍌 A really simple strategy is consuming some easily digestible carbohydrate prior to your tough session, to ensure you have enough fuel on board for the session ahead.

🍞 Some great pre-training snack ideas include banana, honey crumpets, jam on english muffins or honey & peanut butter on wihte toast.

These options include carbohydrate which can be easily and quickly broken down by the body and used for fuel.

What are some of your go-to pre-training snacks?

πŸ₯¦ Fresh or frozen, which is better?

I get questions about frozen food all the time! I am a big fan of frozen fruit & veg. Both from a convenience point of view and often cost!

Fresh produce is a great option to fill your diet. However, so is frozen produce. It can provide both a convenient and cost-effective addition to your fruit & veg intake.

Often, I find people seem a bit apprehensive around frozen fruit & veg, sharing they feel like it's almost cutting corners or not as healthy.
Don't spend another second worrying about that. A strategy which helps add fruit and vegetables to your diet, which may not be in there otherwise - is absolutely a positive.
Plus, I'm all about saving money where you can!

Frozen won't always be cheaper, depending on the season or product, but here's some food for thought! You might be able to spread that shopping budget a little bit further.

*Please do note, grocery store prices do change regularly, so this captures a moment in time and these partiuclar products won't always be these prices! It's just a prompt to keep frozen fruit & veg as part of the tool box!

How do you use frozen fruit or veg in your meals? Tell me below! ⬇️

Think this one is more of a reminder to myself, more than anything. 😫⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've learnt this the hard way. Caffeine doesn't sustain you forever - nor should it be your primary fuel source! ⁠

Don't forget to actually fuel your body with good food & nutrients.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Yes - that means, step away from the desk and make yourself a nourishing meal or snack!⁠⁠
