Behind the scenes of a dietitian filming day 🎬
We take nutrition seriously. The filming process... not so much.
Here's what actually happens when you put a group of dietitians in front of a camera for a day. Spoilers: there were a lot of retakes.

Both of these meals might be 300 calories… but they won’t leave you feeling the same.

If you’ve ever felt hungry soon after eating, or like you’re constantly thinking about food, this is where energy density and satiety matter.

It’s not just about calories.
It’s about how those calories work for your body.

Focusing on protein, fibre, and volume can help you feel more satisfied, without needing to overthink your food choices.

If you’re not sure where to start, we can help you build meals that actually keep you full and energised.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.

The Smart Plate is one of the simplest ways to think about building meals that support energy, nutrition, and overall health.

Rather than focusing on restriction, it’s about including a variety of foods that work together to keep you satisfied and nourished.

Using this visual guide can make everyday meals feel much easier to plan.

If you’d like personalised support with meal balance, blood sugars, or nutrition goals, our dietitians are here to help.

Carbohydrates are one of the most talked about and misunderstood nutrients.

They’re often blamed for weight gain, blood sugar issues, or low energy, but in reality carbohydrates are one of the body’s main sources of fuel. Your brain, muscles, and everyday activities all rely on glucose to function.

Foods like bread, rice, pasta, fruit, milk, legumes, and starchy vegetables all contain carbohydrates, and for most people they are an important part of a balanced way of eating.

While some people may need to adjust their carbohydrate intake, such as when managing diabetes or certain medical conditions, completely cutting them out is rarely necessary.

Understanding what carbohydrates actually do in the body can make nutrition feel a lot less confusing.

If you’d like support with blood sugars, energy levels, or building a balanced eating pattern, our dietitians are here to help.

Questions our dietitians got asked this week…

From protein bars to hydration rules and whether exercising at night “counts”, nutrition advice online can get pretty confusing.

The truth is, most of the time the answer isn’t extreme. It’s about balance, consistency, and finding what works for you, not chasing perfect rules.

In this week’s round of questions we cover:
• Protein bars (are any actually “the best”?)
• Do you really need 6L of water a day?
• Why carbs sometimes cause bloating at first
• Whether evening exercise is okay

Got a nutrition question you’ve always wondered about?
👇Drop it below and our dietitians might answer it in the next post.

Meet the Team - Tyrelle 💚

Say hello to Tyrelle, our amazing NDIS Coordinator and Feeding Therapy Assistant here at Ingrained Nutrition 👋

Tyrelle is often the very first point of contact for our NDIS clients, making sure everyone feels heard, supported, and guided through a smooth onboarding process with our dietitian team. She also plays a key role in our Feeding Therapy, supporting food safety and helping create a calm, streamlined experience for families.

With a background in customer service and admin, Tyrelle brings strong organisation skills, compassion and a whole lot of energy to everything she does. She loves that no two days are ever the same, and honestly, same Tyrelle, same 😄

Outside of work, Tyrelle loves staying active, hitting the gym, going for runs with her kids, and juggling life as a busy mum of two (plus two dogs keeping her on her toes). She understands firsthand how important balance, routine and looking after your wellbeing really is.

We’re so lucky to have you on the team, Tyrelle 💚

♿ Wheelchair Scales Now Available on the Sunshine Coast

We’re excited to share that we’ve invested in portable wheelchair scales, allowing us to provide accurate weight checks for participants who have previously been unable to be weighed due to accessibility barriers.

This service is now available during dietitian home visits across the Sunshine Coast, no clinic trip required.

Clients can remain comfortably seated in their wheelchair while we collect essential measurements, making nutrition support safer, easier and more accessible.

NDIS funding options are available.

This service may be particularly helpful for:
• Clients with limited mobility or who use wheelchairs
• Enteral feeding clients
• Participants at risk of malnutrition
• Children with growth disorders
• Clients with complex conditions requiring weight monitoring

To book a standalone wheelchair weigh-in or add it to an existing appointment, get in touch with our team.

Making nutrition care more accessible, inclusive and practical for the Sunshine Coast community 💚

Say hello to Daneka, the newest face at Ingrained Nutrition 👋

Daneka brings such a calm, caring energy to the team and is passionate about helping people feel truly heard and supported. She loves helping clients move away from food guilt and strict rules, and towards confidence, clarity and trust around eating.

With a Bachelor of Dietetics (Honours), she supports clients with diabetes, high cholesterol and general healthy eating, always keeping things practical and realistic for real life. Living with multiple food allergies herself has shaped the empathy and understanding she brings into every consult.

Outside of work you’ll find her at Pilates, trying new recipes, enjoying all things fashion… or fully invested in Married at First Sight Australia 📺

Her favourite thing about joining the team?
How warm and welcoming everyone is, how versatile her role is, and knowing she’s making a genuine difference in people’s lives.
