Haha wow this skit hit home; it’s true Nutrition research can be hard to follow and the discrepancies have lead most Dietitians to advise on “everything in moderation”. Digestion, weight, blood sugar and blood pressure can be directly impacted by what we eat and a general consensus among most health professionals is to eat more fiber-rich foods and foods that are “minimally-processed” when possible. Calorie control and exercise can manage genetic obesity but won’t eliminate it. Do the best you can!

If you find yourself snacking endlessly and just not feeling full or satisfied- try a more robust snack like these open-face toasts!

Great overview & how-to guide on Meal Planning! I’m excited to explore MFP’s new meal-planning feature to see if it may help bridge the gap of helping people understand their nutrition targets for weight-management while also providing examples of what to eat (that fits those nutrition targets).

Dietitians typically counsel patients on what to eat from an educational standpoint of what foods are nutritious vs non-nutritious and what are standard portion/serving sizes… However, many patients/clients are hoping for a specfic emeal-plan that tells them exactly what to eat.

There is value in having access to pre-selected recipes and examples of a full day of eating that fits nutrition targets… But its also valuable to take the time to check nutrition facts & portions for yourself and develop a flexible meal-plan that fit your preferences & lifestyle.

With AI and this new MFP meal-planning feature hopefully we will have some easier options to answer the eternal question “so what should I eat?”! 🥗 🍗 🍎 🧀 💧 🧁

Discover the essential guide to meal planning! Learn how to achieve your nutrition goals and improve your health with simple, effective strategies.

Vegetarian/Pescatarian Diets are among the best diets for getting more Fiber which lends itself to gut & heart health! ♥️

Emphasize more low-starch vegetables in addition to starchy veg (potatoes, corn, peas, hard squash) and include satisfying vegetarian proteins (beans/legumes, fish, eggs, tofu-soy, low-fat dairy) to keep it lower-calorie and muscle-friendly 💪🏽!

These quick and easy recipes are all packed with fiber and prebiotics or probiotics to support your gut health.

Enough with the OZEMPIC-FACE! As the article summarizes, weight-loss itself includes shrinking fat Mass as well as muscle mass (they are attached afterall). It happens and its ok 💪🏽

Factors we can control to minimize muscle-shrinkage during weight-loss is to create step-wise caloric deficits from diet and exercise resulting in somewhat slower weight-loss vs rapid, eating at least 60 grams of protein (up to 100grams or more depending on height, build, and exercise level), and exercising especially with resistance/weights consistently & progressively during weight-loss.

The med itself does not inherently cause you to lose muscle mass, and eating a bunch of excess protein without actually exercising won’t allow you to gain muscle (though it may still aid in some level of preservation).

Ozempic has always come with side effects. The latest? Thinning hair and muscle loss. Experts break down why this might be and what you can do about it.

Correct, many cheeses are a great source of Protein and Calcium!

If you are using a lot of cheese for a recipe or frequently snack on cheese you may want to opt for a reduced fat version to save on Calories from fat while still getting all the Protein!

If you’re looking to boost your protein intake, try these 6 dietitian-approved cheeses that each deliver at least 7 grams of protein per serving.

Surprise! You don’t necessarily need protein powder to have a protein-shake…

While protein powder is a good fit for many especially for those with higher daily protein goals for muscle growth; mixing staples like low-fat/fat free milk, Greek yogurt, soymilk can provide a great protein-rich base for a smoothie.

Additions like 1-2 tbsp chia or flax seed or powdered/regular PB can add a few extra grams of protein and fiber along with fiber from fruit. Be aware that calories + carbs start to add up with these mix ins but may be worth it for the healthy fibers/healthy fats and satiety factor.

Protein powder is an easy way to get that 30-gram/meal goal a high-protein diet suggests- but feel free to opt out if you have more moderate protein goals and get your PRO in from other sources throughout the day.

Soy milk and Greek-style yogurt provide a solid protein base for this chocolate-strawberry protein shake.

Best bet is to have a small meal/snack that contains some protein and a modest amount of carbohydrates to provide energy for a longer/harder workout and promote muscle-sparing + growth. Ie 200-300 calories, 8-25g Protein, ~15 grams Carbohydrate.

For lower-intensity workouts such as long morning walks, fasted could help with fat-loss… however, be mindful of your overall energy level/blood sugar sensitivity.

As the article notes, the choice largely depends on your body chemistry and preferences, but remember that proper fuel plays a role in seeing results!
