What’s the difference between a portion and a serving size?

Simply put, a serving size is what you find on the back of a box or can of food; a portion is an amount of food influenced by our experiences, our bodies and how much food we need to fuel our day.

One serving might be the perfect amount of food for you to feel full. But for the person sitting across from you at lunch, that serving size might be too much or too little.

The important thing is to listen to your body to help determine the nutrients and fuel you need for your day!

As a nutrition coach, I hear a lot of talk about processed foods. Can you eat them? Should you eat them?

For me, there's no firm rule!

I enjoy a boxed macaroni and cheese or bowl of soup from the store. These foods are definitely processed, but they're not "unusable"!

Sometimes I enjoy these foods on their own, but I often like to take these processed foods and "embellish." Maybe I'll use real cheddar and milk instead of the powdered cheese that comes with my boxed mac and cheese. Or I'll chop up fresh veggies for added nutrients.

Instead of seeing these processed foods as "bad" for me, I'm looking for ways I can embellish them for an easy, nutrient-rich meal!

And you can do it too! Share your ideas for embellishing your next meal.

I love macaroni and cheese (even though I might feel guilty for eating processed food). But I also love when I can “embellish” a processed food to ensure I’m getting the nutrients I need!

I’ll cook spinach, onions or broccoli and add it to the noodles. Sometimes I use real cheese, sometimes I use the cheese that comes with the package and add milk to it.

🥘 By embellishing, I’m taking a processed food and adding the nutrients I need to fuel my body!

What are some ways you can embellish your next meal?

04/07/2026

Let’s reframe how we think about processed foods!

Think about this processed soup from my pantry. It has preservatives and a long list of ingredients.

Would I eat it every day? Probably not! But there isn’t much I’d eat every day of the week (besides an apple)! 🍎

But you can take this processed soup and “embellish” it. Choose some fresh broccoli or onions or chicken and add it to the soup. Now you’ve made this processed soup more nutrient-dense.

Every meal doesn’t have to be made from scratch. Embellishing is a great way to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need — and make food prep less daunting!

🍲 Follow for more examples on embellishing your food!

Happy Easter, friends! I hope you have a blessed day. 🌼💛

🌸 This new season means a new opportunity to buy local favorites or try a food you’ve never had before!

Recently, I had a conversation with one of my virtual clients about seasonal eating. There are some foods we enjoy more in different seasons. In the winter, a warm soup or stew or a hearty roast sounds delicious! But in warmer weather, we often gravitate towards cooler foods like salads or cold meats. 🥗🍓

Now that it’s spring, what foods could you incorporate into your diet? Let me know what you’re trying this season!

One thing to know about Tennessee in the spring? The weather is hard to predict!

It was beautiful and warm one weekend and snowing a day later!! ☀️❄️

This weather reminds me that spring isn’t the only unpredictable thing in our lives. You may plan to exercise, but daily tasks pile up. You might meal plan, then realize you’re missing a key ingredient.

So how are you tackling the unpredictable in your day?

Hi friends, it’s been almost a year since I stepped away from consistently sharing nutrition and mindfulness tools due to a family emergency.

I’m incredibly grateful for each person who reached out to check on my family and me, and I’m excited to rejoin you as we look forward to the spring season of renewal and growth.

But today, here’s your little reminder to slow down, find a quiet place outside, take a few deep breaths, and feel the sunshine on your skin. ♥️☀

It’s on my mind and heart today to remind you that you and I have the capacity for a beautiful and wonderful life. It’s ours! And we have the right to it.

I recorded this 6 years ago at Stories of Change at the Sundance Film Festival. And since this is the first festival to take place since its founder’s (Robert Redford) death, I thought it fitting to share with you again.

The message is just as true today, it’s still all about hope.

Hello everyone! Due to a recent family emergency that is requiring my full attention, I will be unavailable for all appointments for approximately six weeks. If you have any questions, please email me at info@yourownfoodcoach.com, and I will respond when I am able. Thank you for your understanding in this time!

Your words have power.

🗣 "I can't believe you're eating that."
🗣 "I only eat this kind of food."
🗣 "Haven't you had enough?"

These comments may seem trivial to the speaker, but for someone who is struggling with an eating disorder or trying to make mindful choices for their body, comments like these can be damaging and discouraging.

What are some ways you can use your words to encourage and advocate rather than tear down?
