Nutrition Overview
Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. But it can feel overwhelming. Below are resources, guides and recipes for you to transform the way you look at food and fuel your body.
NEW HABITS TAKE TIME. Don’t let overwhelm prevent you from reaching your goals. Focus on protein intake and being in your calorie range- those are the two most critical pieces when wanting to release fat and build muscle simultaneously.

My Personal Story:
Counting and tracking my macros has been a game changer for me in my health journey. It has allowed me to add muscle mass while releasing stored fat within my body. It has also has been instrumental for my gut health and regulating my system- a huge win for me since I have struggled with constipation my entire life. I have also eliminated a lot of processed foods from my daily diet because I don’t like the way I feel. The key with nutrition is to start with ONE thing and build from there. I did not do all of this in one month but rather a year of exploring and experimenting with what works well for my body and wellbeing.
Complete honesty, I was very nervous to track macros/calories and thought it would feel really restricting. What I found is that I feel EMPOWERED in how I eat because I know I am eating foods that are going to help me build muscle mass and I understand when a serving size says 28g I can weigh it out and eat exactly that rather than guessing. Our food system is complicated and something we think is a great protein source could actually have more fat than protein and is therefore causing us to miss getting adequate protein. To me this knowledge has been so powerful!
