Pasta salad has been on REPEAT for lunches lately 🤩🙌🏼✨

Why I love it:
✅super easy to prep in bulk. I keep the dressing separate and add on the day so it tastes fresh.
✅a significant 38g of protein!
✅overall a perfectly balanced, fuelling lunch with carbs, protein, fats and colour that will actually keep you full + energised!

This is a totally random combo of ingredients but trust me, it really works! Especially with that creamy dressing.
Save and try it for your next lunch prep!! 😌❤️‍🔥⛽️

‘What I eat in a day’ content has always been and still is VERY popular on social media platforms😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst I don’t think they are necessarily always bad…for instance, they CAN actually be helpful in showing:
✅examples of what it looks like to fuel your body adequately, especially around training or an active lifestyle.
✅ examples of a healthy, balanced diet that is flexible.
✅fun insights into how and what others eat.
✅provide new meal and snack inspo!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They also can be very UNHELPFUL in many ways by fuelling comparison to others, overthinking your own food choices (types and amounts of food), and unfortunately can often show very inadequate, extreme ways of eating that lack balance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end of the day, when viewing this type of content it’s important to remember these points above, and especially that what/when/how much you eat is COMPLETELY INDIVIDUAL to you.

There’s no ‘one way’ that is best when it comes to nutrition.
What works super well for one person may likely not be best suited to another, or even totally different to their requirements 🙂‍↕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And most importantly: Even if we all ate exactly the same, we’d still look totally different ❤️‍🔥🫶🏼

In case you need the reminder today❤️‍🔥🦋

I know it’s easy (shoutout to how our society has been programmed) to think that if your body was ‘perfect’ then all your problems would be solved, constantly be striving to get leaner and fear weight gain or eating ‘too much’ at all costs…

But it’s not your dream body if it’s a nightmare to achieve and maintain.
If it leaves you feeling depleted and a shadow of yourself.

I’ve found SO much more happiness, fulfilment and purpose in focusing on how I FEEL instead of how I look.

Eating to nourish and fuel all the things I want to do, and actually feel good doing them…both in training but also just in everyday life 🙂‍↕️

You can’t live a full life on an empty tank⛽️🫶🏼

Fact is: Leaner, smaller and lighter isn’t going to make you a better athlete OR healthier human.

I SO fully empathise that controlling your weight and restricting your food to achieve this feels safe and comfortable🥺
But so so often, it is exactly what is holding you back from feeling and performing at your best.

Trust me when I say I’ve been there too 🫶🏼

Optimal performance and health isn’t a certain weight or body fat percentage, it’s being properly fuelled so your body has the tools to do all the things you are asking it to do, and the building blocks to recover and adapt to it. Aka: get fitter, faster and stronger, AND still function in a healthy way and feel good in the process⛽️

That doesn’t necessarily mean gaining weight, but it definitely DOES mean letting go of the fear of weight gain and trying to control your weight❤️‍🔥

Finding it hard to eat before you train? Then this post is for you 🙂‍↕️❤️‍🔥

I see pre-training nutrition like warming up properly. You CAN skip it. But you probably shouldn’t 😅

Here’s the WHY as well as my top tips in making fuelling your sessions that little bit easier and more achievable, especially if you’re an early morning trainer and appetite is very low 🤝🏼⛽️

Yep. Because food = fuel 🙂‍↕️⛽️🌱
Eating enough isn’t something to feel ashamed about. It’s one of the biggest acts of taking care of yourself.

I used to feel SO much shame around eating in front of other people and getting comments like this.

I’d worry about what people thought if I ate in front of them, or that eating ‘too much’ or ‘too often’ meant I was greedy and that people would judge me.

But here’s the truth:
Our bodies are MEANT to be fueled regularly. Especially if you train hard, live an active lifestyle, or simply want to feel your best.

Eating every few hours helps keep your energy steady, supports muscle recovery, and actually improves training performance. And the more you do, the more you need to eat…which may very well mean you need to eat more and more frequently than people around you 🙂‍↔️

Now, instead of feeling embarrassed, I see eating as a form of self-respect. Because I deserve to fuel my body properly. And so do you ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

So let’s normalize eating ENOUGH and backing yourself, no matter what others around you are doing. 🫶🏼
