This is why ⤵️

But first if you’re new here, hi! I’m Courtenay (she/her), an e@timg d!sorder dietitian. And I help people heal their relationship with food.

The BIGGEST and most important piece I work on with my clients isn’t earth shattering.

It’s something we all “know” and “makes sense”…but it’s not always happening.

And that one thing is this:

✨we need to eat ENOUGH food, first and foremost ✨

Humans require calories, aka energy, in order to survive.

And we need quite a bit of it, especially if we want to live a full and healthy life!

There are many complicated reasons why someone may not be getting enough to eat. It’s not a straightforward thing.

But it’s something I will never stop talking about.

Any food is better than no food. You need and deserve to eat ENOUGH every day, no matter what.

Why this works ⤵️

Plus my fav snack ideas right now if you scroll down!

Humans will function best when fed regularly with enough food.

For most of us, that means eating something every 3 hours.

I know I know, some of you might be thinking “WOW that feels like too much food 😳”

…and if that’s you, that’s ok. It might mean this is something to work up to.

Instead of going from a small breakfast to a so-so lunch mid day then only eating supper at 7 or 8pm, WHAT IF you tried adding in a structured snack? Or even snacks between every meal?

Some of my fav snack ideas:
• Salsa and pita crisps
• Toast with jam and h**p hearts/seeds
• Sweet potato wedges with a mayo dip
• Breakfast cookie and a glass of milk
• Orange juice and a handful of peanuts
• Sliced peaches over vanilla Greek yogurt

Add in snacks between your meals and see how it feels! It just might leave you with more energy and feeling more grounded at your next meal.

Try THIS and you’ll see what I mean ⤵️

As a dietitian who supports many individuals healing their relationship to food and body, there are a handful of KEY steps I’m often recommending.

This is not an exhaustive list, but read below for a few of my top tips that are helping my clients move forward with their recovery and a better relationship with food:

👉 Eat something every 3 hours. Don’t overthink it. Any food is better than no food. When there’s not enough food happening regularly, you will end up thinking about food more and feel the results of undernutrition.

👉 Stop weighing yourself. Especially if you end up basing your eating on the number you see. There’s very few medical reasons for someone to have to weigh themselves at home, and more often than not, using the scale isn’t helping your relationship with food.

👉 Allow foods you truly enjoy! Eat a range of foods that feel good, not just the foods you think you “should” eat. If this step feels overwhelming (or any of these steps), it might be a sign to reach out for more help ❤️

Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated.

Healing your relationship with food will take time, but it’s worth it - keep breaking it down into small steps and progress will come in time.

You’ve got this!

I’m always much more interested in THIS ⬇️

Specifically, I mean I care more about WHY (and HOW) you ate, and the fact that you are eating SOMETHING. Exactly WHAT it is you might eat, that’s not a top tier priority 🤷‍♀️

We get so caught up in these “what I eat in a day” videos that are totally skewing our own relationship to food and body.

Comparing, questioning the “right” choice, etc…

What it comes down to is this:

✨You deserve to eat today and every day. You need to fuel your body with something - ANY food is better than no food.

And no, these photos you see are not a compilation of what I ate in a day. (They are actually random food photos I’ve saved over the past number of months).
