The graphic above displays scaled portion sizes of commonly consumed foods accumulating to 500 calories.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Whilst not all examples are representative of portions consumed in one eating episode, differences in portion size and caloric worth can be appreciated.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ For example, 700g of cod equates to the caloric worth of 60g of macadamia nuts, yet the former would likely be spread out across 3-4 meals, whilst the latter may be consumed across 10-15 minutes. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The slide displaying 1.7kg of raspberries may appear tongue and cheek, but the message is important. If compositional management is on the agenda, fruit and vegetables serve as excellent high volume, low calorie foods that can be consumed in large portion sizes in exchange for few calories. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Cuts of meat and fish vary in caloric density depending on the amount of fat present. For example, chicken thighs contain more calories than chicken breasts and salmon more than tuna or cod. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ One may assume that food must contain a relatively low or high amount of calories depending on its volume/portion size. But the takeaway from the graphic is that this assumption can sometimes be incorrect. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Furthermore, one may benefit from understanding amounts of protein and fibre present in any given food in order to manage satiety. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Any food should always be included if enjoyed. But if long term change is desired, adherence to change is fundamental. Informed, yet relaxed understanding between volume, satiety and caloric worth of any given food will allow you to manage a diet which is enjoyable, easily adhered to and which stays within the scientific realms of a designated energy balance for your success. 🔥 ⁣⁣⁣ -⁣⁣⁣ By @thefitnesschef_ -⁣⁣⁣ #caloriecounting #mealprep #mealprepmonday #caloriedeficit #fatloss #weightloss #weightgain #eatsmart #nutritiontips #diettips #dieting #fatlosscoach #diet #mealplanning #foodprepping

The power of marketing ( ⏩ swipe to see some much better choices) ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ It’s crazy how much marketing can shape and mold our opinion of certain brands. Let’s be real - it’s because marketing works!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ However, it is becoming increasingly important that we become conscious consumers and really start to question if brands actually live it up to the stories and claims they put out there.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ The marketing thrown at children these days, with highly processed foods especially irritates me. So many boxes covered in cartoons and colorful imagery trying to draw kids in.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ The Hawaiian Punch for example is pretty much just water & high fructose corn syrup with food dyes - yikes! Less that 2% is made from real fruit juices yet the company happily displays all the wonderful fruit on the front of the package.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ As for gatorade, the amount of marketing tying that brand in with pro-athletes is unbelievable. Yet, a simple choice like coconut water full of natural electrolytes and natural sugars would be much better than all the filler ingredients added to this drink along with the blue food dye.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Water is also such an under appreciated macronutrient but I’m advocating we start putting water back on its pedestal! If you’re looking to add more flavor to your daily water, try incorporating fresh fruits or herbs in your batches of water.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ I hope you found this helpful! Let me know what other brands you’d like me to talk about.

Full for minutes Vs. Full for hours. I love bone broth it’s a great way to utilise a nose to tail approach by buying a joint or whole bird. Cooking bone broths extracts the maximum amount of nutrients as possible. These would be predominantly the amino acids proline, glycine and glutamine. The last 2 specifically required for glutathione synthesis. Additionally there are a whole range of other vitamins and minerals included.There is no rules to bone broth, you can add what you like + flavourings and veggies, simmer for a few hours and sieve out. — Whilst bone broth is “trending” paying £6+ for a pouch doing it yourself saves a load of money with a leftover carcass. For me, Bone broths are not a substantial meal, it will not hold off hunger and energy needs. To make my “upgraded” version more filling, tasty and energy dense I have added the following to make a more Thai inspired broth. - • 100 grams skinless boneless chicken thighs • 1/2 tbsp ghee • small handful of sugar snap peas • small handful of green beans • a few chestnut mushrooms • 1/4 red chilli • squeeze of lime • dried kelp • Celtic sea salt • dash of coconut aminos — The same goes for fish + shellfish bones or beef bones. Get creative in the kitchen. Have a warm Friday 🙌🏼💚 .

Know your breads! *Swipe to see 4 more*⠀ .⠀ Since they’re so many breads on the market, thought I would share a full breakdown of some of the better choices out there and why you should skip out on white bread.⠀ .⠀ White wonder bread - is usually highly processed, which means that a lot of the essential nutrients (minerals, B vitamins, proteins, fiber, healthy fats, and germ layers) are lost. After this process all that is left is endosperm, which contains all the starch without much nutrient density.⠀ .⠀ Sprouted ezekiel bread - is great for many reasons and is my personal fav! It contains different types of grains & legumes & has no added sugar. Sprouting increases the nutrient levels & availability in the grains it has more nutritional value than most other breads.⠀ .⠀ Sourdough bread - It’s prebiotic content and probiotic-like properties in addition to the fermentation process improve its nutrition profile in several ways. Whole grain sourdoughs contain higher levels of folate and antioxidants than most other breads in addition to more mineral content. To make sure that you’re getting “true” sourdough bread, I suggest buying it from a farmer's market or a local bakery that you trust. :)⠀ .⠀ Whole wheat bread - keep the all parts of the grain intact (the germ, bran, and endosperm). The bran and germ are also full of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. A lot of companies label their breads as “whole wheat”, despite the fact that they’re mostly made of refined flour. To get the best whole wheat bread, make sure the first ingredient is 100% whole-wheat or whole-grain flour & check for added sugars &/or oils. :D⠀ .⠀ Paleo / gluten free bread - Many paleo breads are made from almond or coconut flour and happen to also be gluten-free. I suggest looking for  paleo breads that are made from these flours because they tend to be lower in carbs and calories, but higher in protein and fiber than loaves made from other grains.⠀ .⠀ Flaxseed bread -Flaxseed bread is made primarily from whole-grain flours and flax seeds. Out of the breads, it’s one of the more nutritious kinds you can eat. It is extremely low in sugar and full of an omega-3 fatty acid. . By @meowmeix

HEALTHY EATING ON A BUDGET ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s a misconception that healthy eating has to be expensive. It’s possible to eat cups of veggies, fresh fruit and lean proteins for just pennies a meal. It could take some prep and planning, but even the $7 day includes a store bought wrap! Double tap if you want me to do more of these and tag a friend who is a savvy shopper. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Breakfast: 2 lb apples = $2.29, eggs were $1.99 per dozen, which works out to $0.38 per apple and $0.33 for 2 eggs. Add tablespoons of natural peanut butter for only a few cents more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Lunch: the tuna wrap was store bought from @traderjoes for $3.99 and would likely be under $2 to make yourself. Cucumbers were $2.29 for 6, thus $0.76 for 2 sliced cucumbers. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Dinner: wow! What a delicious and inexpensive meal!! I placed a whole spaghetti squash in the oven for 45 minutes at 350°, rotating mid way. The whole squash was $2.49 and made about 10 cups. 1/4 of the squash, 2 1/2 cups, was only $0.62!!! The organic tofu block was only $1.79. I eat 1/3 of the block at a time, which works out to $0.62 per serving for a lean, plant-based protein! I cubed and sautéed it in a pan with a sprinkle of seasoning. I served it with 1/4 cup of marinara. The jar cost $1.79 and contains about 2 1/4 cups, making each serving $0.20. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Feel free to add additional protein, fats and starches to the day as needed. This is just one sample without snacks, but I am happy to do more versions if you’d like xoxo ⁣Ilana ⁣ ⁣. .

🌈 Are you having any of these for breakfast? - 🥣Breakfast Cereals. In reality, these cereals are highly processed and contain only a small amount of whole grains. Also, nutrients are artificially added in a process called fortification. - 🥞Pancakes and Waffles. Pancakes and waffles are made from refined flour and topped with high-sugar syrups. - 🍞Toast With Margarine. Toast with margarine raises your blood sugar and insulin levels, causes rebound hunger and increases your risk of weight gain and heart disease. - 🧁Muffins. Muffins are usually high in refined flour, refined vegetable oils and sugar, all of which are very unhealthy. - 🍊Fruit Juice. Despite a reputation for being healthy, fruit juice is very hign in sugar. It actually contains a similar amount as sugary soda. - 🥮Toaster Pastries. Toaster pastries are high in sugar and refined carbs, yet low in protein, which can increase hunger and food intake. - 🥧Scones. Scones topped with cream and jam provide little nutrition other than calories. Easily digested carbs and a lack of fiber can drive hunger, leading to increased food intake and weight gain. - 🥛Sweetened Non-Fat Yogurt. Non-fat sweetened yogurt is very high in sugar, and may contain more of it than ice cream. It also lacks the natural dairy fat that can increase fullness. - 🌰Granola Bars. Although unprocessed oats are high in fiber, granola bars provide only 1–3 grams of fiber, on average. However, they contain a lot of added sugar. - 🍬Processed, Gluten-Free Breakfast Foods. Gluten-free packaged foods are made with flours that raise blood sugar, which may lead to elevated insulin, increased appetite and weight gain . Comment below what you have for breakfast.?? 😋 .

COLD OR WARM WATER❓ When cold water serves you better? ⬇️ . Exercise: Physical activity elevates core body temperature. Moreover, we lose a lot of water and electrolytes in the process which need to be replenished. Sip cold water to rehydrate the body off lost water and enable it cool down. Weight Loss: When you are trying to shed the pounds, drink cold water instead of warm water. It boosts metabolism and helps torch calories to aid weight loss. Cold water is not an obesity cure although it does contribute to your weight loss efforts. When should warm/hot water be considered? ⬇️ Digestion: If you have digestion troubles too often, drinking warm/hot water can be of great benefit. According to Ayurveda, drinking warm water in the morning helps stimulate digestion. Detox: Drinking warm water is one of things that can help you get rid of impurities in the body. Health experts recommend drinking warm water with a squeeze of lemon. Lemon water stimulates digestion and flushes toxins. When you drink warm water, you are not only staying hydrated but also receiving its cleansing benefits. Constipation: One of the foremost reasons behind constipation is dehydration. Drinking warm water when constipated can move things smooth by stimulating blood flow and having a soothing effect in the intestines. Be it cold or warm water, you should stay hydrated and listen to your body. Listen to what your body is trying to tell you. When you’re out in the hot weather, you’ll crave for cold water. Likewise, when sick with a cold, you’ll want hot water. Health experts speculate that there are certain occasions where warm water is more appropriate than cold, and vice-versa...VEGAN RULES..🍃💚 .

Toss well to get all of your fries nicely coated. Arrange in a single layer, with some space in between (so they can crisp up), on the baking sheets and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once during roasting time. Meanwhile, heat a large (lidded) skillet over medium heat then add in your beef, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently for about 6-7 minutes, or until meat starts to brown while breaking up the meat. Add in seasonings, chipotle peppers, corn, black beans and diced tomatoes then gently stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to develop and chilli to thicken. Taste test, and add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired. Sprinkle fries with sea salt when they come out of the oven. Serve the sweet potato fries topped with your beef chili and any extra toppings of your choice...serving suggestion shown in the pictures! I divided up the fries between 4 separate plates then let the kids top their own. 💚
