One tray, endless wins! Big flavour, little fuss, satisfying, protein-packed, balanced, a crowd-pleaser, freezer-friendly, and adaptable.

Moroccan Chicken & Veg Tray Bake

Serves: 8
Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 40–45 mins

Per serve: 540kcal / 33g Protein / 33g Carbohydrates / 30g Fat / 7g Fibre

Ingredients
8 chicken thighs (bone-in/skin on) (about 1.5kg)
2 tbsp Moroccan spice mix
4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges (about 1kg)
240g canned chickpeas, drained & rinsed (one 400g can)
4 medium tomatoes, quartered (about 600g)
2 red capsicum, sliced into strips (about 400g)
1 head garlic, top trimmed (about 1 cm)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 big handfuls baby spinach (about 120 g)
1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. You will need a large non-stick roasting tray.

Toss the potatoes, chickpeas, tomatoes, capsicum, and garlic with olive oil and vinegar. Spread evenly on the roasting tray.

Season the chicken evenly with the Moroccan spice, salt & pepper.

Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin-side up.

Bake for 40–45 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through (chicken must be cooked to a safe internal temperature of 75°C), and veg are tender.

To finish the sauce, squeeze the roasted garlic from skins into the tomato/pepper mix and stir gently. Fold in baby spinach until just wilted.

Plate up and top with a generous amount of fresh coriander.

Serve with: Add a simple green salad on the side for extra crunch and volume.

Tips:
Why bone-in? The bone helps conduct heat evenly, keeping meat juicy and tender, while skin locks in moisture and adds crispness. Perfect for roasting.

Skin-on for maximum flavour, crispness, and satisfaction, BUT, if you’re in a calorie deficit: swap to skinless thighs as you still get flavour and nutrients, just lower on calories & fat.

Why thighs over breast? Thigh meat is more forgiving in the oven and stays succulent even if slightly overcooked.

If batch cooking or freezing cool the leftovers within 2 hours of cooking. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat until piping hot (≥75°C) before serving.

Save this for busy weeknights and send it to someone who needs an easy meal prep win.

Think you need another coffee? Nope. You probably just need a glass of water.

Here’s the part no one tells you: dehydration doesn’t just make you tired. It can mess with your digestion, slow your recovery, give you headaches, and even make your skin look dull. Basically, you’re running on flat batteries and wondering why nothing feels right.

And yes, before you ask: wine, soft drink, and “but I had three coffees” does not count as hydration.

If you’re training in the heat, eating lots of fibre, or just living life at full tilt, your needs can shoot way past the usual thirty to thirty-five millilitres per kilogram. Checking your urine colour is the easiest test you can do. Pale yellow means congratulations you’re winning, dark yellow means grab your bottle and drink up.

Hydration is free, ridiculously simple, and still the number one thing most people stuff up.

It’s the tightrope we all walk when chasing progress.

In fitness, nutrition, and life it’s easy to believe the answer is always to do more.

More training. More tracking. More restriction.

But sometimes discipline turns into depletion.

Fuelling your body enough, taking a rest day, or easing off the food rules isn’t quitting. On the contrary it is progress in disguise!

The real growth happens when you learn the difference between consistency that builds you up and control that breaks you down.

When you check in with yourself ask “Is this effort moving me forward, or is it pulling me under? and if you are unsure whether to tighten up or let go, remember:
Progress isn’t about extremes. It’s about balance.

Kimchi & Chicken “San Choy Bow” (Lettuce Wraps)

Serves 4
Approx. per serve: 190 kcal / 31 g Protein / 16 g Carbohydrates / 3 g Fat / 4 g Fibre

San Choy Bow is a classic Asian-inspired dish where a savoury mince filling is spooned into crisp lettuce cups for a fresh, hand-held meal. This version gets a different flavour punch, and a gut-health boost, from kimchi, a naturally fermented food rich in probiotics. It’s high in protein, light on calories, and easy to adapt for both quick weeknight dinners and meal prep. And honestly, unless you love grating fresh garlic and ginger (or have the time), save yourself the hassle and grab the “jar-lic” and “gin-jar” versions. You can also buy a vegan/vegetarian versions of kimchi is fish sauce or shrimp paste is not your thing. Light, spicy, and gut-friendly, this dish is easy to adapt, swap up the proteins, carbs, or fats to suit your needs. It’s a versatile meal that fuels your body, supports recovery, and never feels boring.

Tip: cook some kimchi into the filling for flavour, but keep a little fresh on top if you want the full probiotic benefits.

Ingredients
300 g kimchi, hand chopped / food processed
500 g chicken breast mince
10g garlic, minced
10g ginger, minced
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp gochujang
1 whole lettuce (iceberg, butter, or cos all work well to get the whole leaves from)
spring onion, sliced

Method
Heat a non-stick frypan or wok over medium–high heat and spray lightly with oil.
Sauté garlic and ginger for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken mince, season lightly, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
Stir in hoisin, soy, gochujang, and chopped kimchi. Cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly heated through and saucy.
Spoon the filling into lettuce cups, sprinkle with fresh spring onion, and serve.

Pills don’t beat plates.

A daily multivitamin can’t patch up a poorly balanced diet…….or one that cuts out entire food groups.

Micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals that keep your energy, recovery, and mood on track, still come first from food. But no diet covers it all perfectly.

If you’re following a specific style of eating, there are common gaps to watch for:

Vegan? you’re probably short on B12.
Keto? magnesium and fibre are ghosting you.
Carnivore? you’ll get plenty of protein, but vitamin C and fibre are nowhere to be found.

Monday’s newsletter breaks it all down:
where micronutrients actually come from
which diets miss the mark (and why)
what happens to your micronutrient intake when you’re in a calorie deficit

Food-first isn’t just a slogan. It’s the foundation for long-term health. Supplements have their place, but they should support your diet, not replace it.

28/08/2025

We tend to think “improving” your nutrition has to be a massive overhaul…..cut this, track that, change everything! No way.

Real progress starts with small boring steps.

For me right now, it’s tossing a handful of baby spinach into my breakfast eggs. Nothing fancy and really easy, because it’s pre-washed and waiting in the fridge drawer.

That’s the point. Pick one small, easy thing you can stick with. Let it become your “new normal,” then build on the next.

Because consistency will always beat perfection.

So what’s one small change you know you could stick with this week?

Body positivity has been misunderstood.

Some people hear it and think: “Just accept your body at any weight and forget about health.”

But that’s not what it’s about.

At its core, body positivity means recognising your worth isn’t defined by a scale, a dress size, or how flat your stomach looks. It’s about rejecting shame as a tool for change.

Here’s the balance:

Excess fat is linked to higher health risks. This is what the research shows.
But hating yourself there won’t move you forward, in fact, it typically backfires.

The real power is in respect-based change.

When you say:

“I deserve to feel good, strong, and capable — and I’m making choices that support that”

— you step into long-term health without the punishment cycle.

Body positivity is not about denial. It’s about self-respect that fuels sustainable change.

When you list the things you love, make sure you put yourself at the top — because that’s where body positivity really begins.

In “diet culture”, often movement gets sold to us as a punishment.

You hear things like “You have to…..Burn it off. Earn your food. Fix your body.”

F*&k that.

It’s no wonder people end up dreading it and not wanting to do it.

Movement doesn’t have to be a grind.

It can be playful, energising, grounding — even joyful.

Ask yourself:

What kind of movement do I actually look forward to?

How do I want to feel when I’m done — lighter, stronger, calmer, more alive?

If I wasn’t chasing a total calories burned through exercise number, how would I choose to move today?

What type of exercise leaves me more connected to myself instead of fighting against myself?

The research is clear: when you enjoy what you do, you’ll stick with it. And when you stick with it, that’s when the magic happens, you will build strength, improve your energy, your body composition shifts, and confidence follows.

Punishment creates a short-term sprint. Enjoyment builds a lifestyle.

And that’s the game-changer.

How will you choose to move today in a way that makes you feel alive?

Anyone can grind their way to a short-term body composition goal.

Tight diet, strict routine, white-knuckle it through, then boom — a few kilos down, abs peeking through, muscles popping, happy with yourself.

But what happens next?

Most people loosen the reins, they “reward” themselves, and before they know it… the progress has slipped. That’s the yo-yo cycle, and it’s brutal on both your body & mindset.

Here’s the truth: reaching your goal is the easy part. Maintaining it, living it, breathing it, building it into your lifestyle, that’s where the real growth is.

That doesn’t mean punishment or perfection. It means creating a rhythm you actually enjoy, habits that flex with your life, and a strategy that makes sense long term.

If you’ve been here before (hit the goal, lost it, felt stuck on repeat)… you don’t need another quick fix. You need a clear, personalised plan.

That’s exactly what we do in a Complete Body & Nutrition Consult. Scan your body composition, talk through your goals, and map out a plan that sets you up for long-term success.

Don’t just reach your goal. Learn how to keep it.

My Big Day Off Breakfast

Serves 2 (or 1 if you are me)

Per serve: ~ 290 kcal / 30g protein / 25g carbohydrates / 7g fat / 13g fibre

Ingredients:
240g zucchini (about 1 medium)
140g tomato (about 1 medium)
140g capsicum
100g baby spinach
250g sliced mushrooms
150g shaved ham
80g cottage cheese
2 slices low-carb bread (or your bread of choice — rye or sourdough also work well)
Herbs & spices of choice
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Method:
Heat two frypans on medium-high and lightly spray with oil.

In one pan, sauté the zucchini, tomato, and capsicum until softened. Add your herbs/seasoning of choice.

In the second pan, cook the mushrooms until golden, then add the baby spinach to wilt. Add your herbs/seasoning of choice.

Toast the bread and top with cottage cheese and shaved ham.

Serve with the vegetables on the side. Season to taste and enjoy.

Easy to Make:

This recipe uses ready-to-cook or pre-prepared supermarket staples:
Sliced mushrooms — no chopping needed.
Pre-washed baby spinach — straight from the bag.
Tomato, zucchini, capsicum — just slice and cook.
Shaved ham — already cooked, ready to serve.
Cottage cheese — straight from the tub.
Herbs & spices — use what’s already in your pantry.

Why it works:

Balanced macros: High protein from ham, cottage cheese, and mushrooms, steady carbs from bread and veg, and healthy fibre from a mix of vegetables.

Fibre boost: Almost half your daily fibre target in one meal, supporting digestion & fullness.

Quick & minimal effort: Two pans, one toaster, and no complicated prep.

Flexible: Swap ham for smoked salmon, turkey, or a vegetarian protein.

Your hunger signals aren’t always telling the truth.

Stress, poor sleep, hormones, heavy training, or even boredom can crank up appetite and make you feel like you “need” way more than your body actually requires

That’s where food logging comes in. Not to obsess over numbers, but to build awareness. It helps you see the difference between true fuel needs and the times your body’s just exaggerating.

Think of it as learning your body’s language. Logging doesn’t make food restrictive, instead it makes your choices clearer, calmer, and more aligned with your goals.

Awareness beats willpower, every time.

Not sure about your energy needs, macros, or where to start? That’s exactly what my Complete Body & Nutrition Consult is for.
