Nutrition doesn’t have to be so complicated.
Seriously. You don’t need to be a dietitian or live in the kitchen to eat in a way that supports your goals.
Let’s keep it real simple with 3 basic questions to ask at every meal:
1️⃣ Did I get some protein?
Protein keeps you full, helps with cravings, supports hormones, and gives you energy — it’s kind of a big deal.
Examples that actually work in real life:
Eggs and toast instead of just toast
Add some chicken or ground beef to your pasta
Throw a couple hard-boiled eggs next to your bagel
Greek yogurt with fruit
A protein shake when you’re running around and just need something
2️⃣ Did I eat something with color?
And no, pink frosted donuts don’t count. I mean fruit or veggies — stuff that grows.
Quick ways to sneak it in:
Toss some spinach into your eggs or smoothie
Grab baby carrots or a handful of snap peas
Add frozen broccoli or roasted veggies to dinner (even the air fryer stuff)
Throw some berries in your oatmeal
Keep an apple on the counter — if it’s out, you’ll eat it
3️⃣ Did I drink water with or before this meal?
You’re probably not hungry — you’re dehydrated. Stop skipping water and wondering why you feel like garbage.
Easy wins:
Chug a glass before coffee
Drink while you’re making your meal
Add lemon, electrolytes, or something to make it not boring
Get in the habit of drinking something with every snack
That’s it. No tracking. No apps.
Just you, making a few solid choices that your body will thank you for later.
Keep it simple. Keep showing up. You don’t need a reset — you need consistency.
