Summer BBQs don’t have to derail your health goals!
🌞🍔 With a few smart swaps, you can enjoy all the fun (and flavor) while still keeping things balanced:

✨ Go for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or turkey burgers.
✨ Load up your plate with veggies + lighter sides.
✨ Pick condiments and drinks that add flavor, not sugar.
✨ Satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit-forward desserts.

It’s not about restriction — it’s about balance. A few mindful choices can leave you feeling energized instead of weighed down.

Hydration 101: Do You Actually Need Electrolytes?

Electrolytes aren’t always necessary — but they are important in certain situations. For workouts under 90 minutes, water usually does the job. But once you’re going longer, in the heat, or sweating heavily, electrolyte replacement can help prevent fatigue, cramping, and dehydration.

Here’s a quick breakdown of popular options:
👉 Trace Minerals – minimal, sugar-free
👉 Nuun – lighter sodium, everyday workouts ✅ our top pick for most people!
👉 Liquid I.V. – rapid hydration, higher carb/sugar content
👉 LMNT – high sodium, low carb, ideal for heavy sweaters or low-carb athletes

✨ Want a budget-friendly option? Try a DIY mix at home with water, OJ or coconut water, sea salt, and a touch of honey.

Bottom line → Water covers most situations, but for longer or sweatier sessions, electrolytes can give you the edge. And if you’re looking for a reliable, everyday choice… we recommend Nuun. 💦

Why Breakfast Is More Than Just a Meal:

From my perspective, breakfast isn’t just about eating early. It’s about setting the tone for your entire day.

✅ Balances blood sugar → Avoids the crash that leads to fatigue & irritability
✅ Manages appetite → Less “hangry” snacking later
✅ Increases nutrient intake → More opportunities for fiber, protein, & micronutrients
✅ Supports energy needs → Fuels your brain & muscles

💡 RD Tip: Aim for a balanced breakfast with protein + fiber + healthy fats.

Remember: It’s not just when you eat—it’s what you eat that counts.
