Better Eating by Amber-Marie

Nutrition coaching to support clients reach their health goals and to create healthy eating habits for life. Yaaahoo

During various stages of my life, I have been overweight, underweight, unfit and athletic. What I have finally learnt is the importance of having a balanced lifestyle in order feel fit and positive. This includes eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. I come from a long line of fabulous cooks and treat time in the kitchen like therapy especially home baking which from time to time can be my downfall….. In fact, I started making tan slice at the age of seven, now that's plenty of condensed milk, butter, sugar and flour consumed over the past 40 years!! Fortunately for my arteries, my cooking style and knowledge of nutrition has significantly improved as I have aged. I now consider my health foremost when it comes to choices around food. For example eating more vegetables at meal times and selecting heart-healthy fats such as olive oil and nuts. Furthermore, I have adapted my classic tan slice recipe to create a more healthy version which tastes pretty good. Nutrition science is certainly a mind field whether it be gut health, hormonal changes, building muscle or maintaining a healthy weight range. Having a nutritious diet can provide protection to so many preventable illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Also, eating well support a positive attitude and improves mood, concentration and energy levels. Buzzwords such as fat-free, high fructose corn syrup, prebiotics, omega 3, antioxidants, glycemic index, FODMAPs, anemia and ketosis diets are widely used and often seldom understood. As a recent "mature" Human Nutrition graduate from the University of Otago, I am keen to share my knowledge and experiences to help clients reach their personal ‘better eating’ goals and live a quality life.

PB up hill today - think it's that 'Lisa Carrington' hairdo and enery dense carbs! Bravo to all the NZ Olympic 2020 team - been absolutely thrilling to watch!

It’s a long way to the top if you want a sausage roll, lentil ones next time!

Old kiwifruit 🥝 from the fruit bowl blends up nicely to make a tangy and refreshing sauce for protein pancakes - great source of fibre and Vit C

Eggplant and chickpea curry on wild rice. Although politely eaten, unlikely to be on menu for next birthday party.

“Eat your dinner if you want Domino's Pizza on Tuesday!!”

Averaging 3/5 on TripAdvisor. Customers want more sausages and hot chips on the menu. ....

11/04/2020

Fruit bran muffins for today's smoko - good source of fibre and uses soft apples that nobody wants. Recipe courtesy of Market Kitchen from ODT can be found in comments- I divided recipe by 3 - less to eat! Can substitute with an apple if missing ingredient.... !!

Went all out tonight with this kiwi classic, was real crowd pleaser too. Feeling grateful for a good banger!

How are all the happy campers?
Ive been enjoying cooking simple meals, mixing up flavours and trying not to overload. Very easy to slip into some less favourable eating habits while at home. Try reaching for water rather than the fridge next time mindless eating strikes or run around the house 5 times which lots of fun....!!
Tonight’s offerings - spicy pumpkin soup with mushroom and pesto slice.

Hope you all practising a bit of social distancing from fridge.....

Suggest weekly menu planning and try to limit supermarket visits by utilising dry goods, frozens and canned product etc.

Also try not to eat all the cheese scones- freeze leftovers for rainy day or just half recipe!
