Discussion of food/nutrition (positive!) below the cut

Honestly my life improved so much when I started keeping a mental rotation of “supplemental” foods. Like, I really want ravioli with a butter cream sauce for dinner? Hell yeah. But my stomach is gonna hurt without some fiber so let’s add roasted broccoli or some frozen peas. Oh and I need some more protein or else I’ll be cranky and hungry an hour later so let’s toss in some grilled chicken or fried tofu with nutritional yeast. Literally all I’ve done is make the dish tastier and now it will last two nights instead of one. I just repeat this with every meal and suddenly everything I make is filling and tastes incredible and I don’t have random nutrient deficiencies from being a dumbass. I’ll put chickpeas in things you wouldn’t believe. I’ve made a lentil bolognese that would make my Italian grandmother hit me with a spoon and I’ll do it again too.

#understanding basic nutrition is so so helpful and it sucks severely that we ruin it so much #diets and stupid ‘fitness’ influencers and weird superfood fads have done so much damage #and I can’t say it too loud on this site but the reactions to those things have done harm in their own way #people deserve access to correct and unbiased information about nutrition #and the resources to make informed choices about their own diet #it stresses me out so much to see like….fruit and vegetable truthers who are otherwise self described leftists or progressives or whatever #like a big part of food insecurity is a nutrition gap. fresh fruits and veggies and whole grains shouldn’t be a luxury #mine #text post #void screams
