Old me —> being “good” at nutrition meant being good at calorie counting (all in pursuit of littlest body poss)
SAVE this one for the next time you find yourself comparing two foods purely by the number on the packet 🫶
and while calories absolutely have a place (ultimately I’m a nutritionist and energy balance exists) BUT I spent sooooo much time focussing on that one number that i barely thought about anytbing else food was giving me
was I getting enough protein? fibre? variety? JOY??
mainly i was just giving myself a mini medal every time i found a lower cal alternative
and missing the bigger picture
and im on a MISSIION to show us all that our bodies need so much more than a calorie target to thrive
and learning to build meals that are balanced and easy and tasty is 100% a skill worth building ❤️ (keep eyes peeled on this!!)
personally id rather spend my brain space thinking about what I can ADD to meals than remove 😢
