My favorite meal of the day!🍳 I love to include eggs with plenty of vegetables and coconut oil with my breakfast to start my day. Did you know that egg yolks contain choline? The two major sources of choline are egg yolks and liver. In fact, egg eaters have on average, double the intake of choline compared to those who avoid eggs. If you are planning to get pregnant or are pregnant🤱🏼, “Choline is required for fetal brain development, placental function, preventing neural tube defect’s, and shares many of the same same benefits of folate. Choline can also permanently change in a good way, the generic expression of your growing baby.” @lilynicholsrdn Just 2 eggs per day (+yolks) meets about 1/2 of a pregnant women’s daily choline needs! So make sure to include eggs in your daily meal plan!
I turned 23 today, and I don’t feel a bit different. Although, some extraordinary things happened to me this last year! I became an aunt (times two). Both my new nephew and niece are so wonderful. Graduated, and landed my first clinical job as a dietitian working in geriatrics. Undoubtedly, this experience continues to shape my own practice and health philosophy. Simply (not quite), I started The Simple Dietitian! The beginnings of my business have sharpened the way I teach nutrition, as well as the approach I take to mentoring clients. I am so thankful for this opportunity! Man, my man, got his first job as an English teacher! I am continually humbled by God’s provision and faithfulness in our lives especially as we move to a new town (Fargo, ND) and begin a new chapter. . While the highlights of this past year certainly were easy to type-up, they would have never been possible without God and those who supported me along the way. The network of people who encourage me, build into me, and accept me is amazing. Thank you to each one of you!
Burgers tonight to celebrate this beautiful weather!! I love to use a purple cabbage wraps with all the fixings👉🏻#fermented sauerkraut (great for your gut!), tomatoes, whole grain mustard, and fried onions and peppers #readyforsummer #keto #paleo #whole30 #lowcarb #dietitian #realfood
If you’re like me you probably haven’t thought much about how caffeine affects your health!🙈 It’s a new area for me as well. @lauraschoenfeldrd recently wrote an article about caffeine and the affects it has on your hormones. Some of the top points she makes👉🏻 1. Does it make you more energized? “Caffeine blunts our drowsy feelings by disrupting adenosine metabolism. Adenosine acts as a depressant in the central nervous system, which promotes sleep and suppresses arousal. Adenosine essentially slows down the activity of neurons causing a feeling of drowsiness... Caffeine strongly resembles adenosine and binds to the adenosine receptors that saturate nerve cells. By reducing the number of available adenosine receptors, only a small amount of adenosine can bind to the receptors. This results in you feeling less sleepy. (Not more energized.) Coffee is essentially just a band aid for low energy levels.” 2. Coffee activates your stress hormones. “Caffeine’s effects on stress and anxiety levels appear to be dose-dependent. Small doses have been shown to have a relaxing effect related to some positive reductions in neurotransmitter activity. Larger doses have been shown to induce anxiety. Genetic factors are also a potential factor on whether coffee will cause HPA axis activation. If you struggle with cortisol dysregulation or “adrenal fatigue”, it is best to steer clear of coffee while you heal. It may be difficult to ditch that morning cup of joe when you rely on it for energy. But focusing on repairing your HPA axis and building your stress tolerance is a much better solution to low energy levels.” 4. Can contribute to PCOS symptoms (especially acne) You can read the rest of her article at https://lauraschoenfeldrd.com/coffee-bad-hormones/ I’ve been experimenting with coffee to see if it helps with clear skin for myself! I’ve cut down to 8 oz day in the morning. I love to take tea with me to work after breakfast as this has a lot less caffeine. (My favorite is Matcha Maker from @goodearthtea ) I’ve noticed I feel a lot better than before when I would have multiple cups of coffee per day! I challenge you to try and cut down on your daily coffee consumption☺️
🌱Another @thrivemkt order! This order I’m trying a new plant-based organic protein blend from @sunwarriortribe, @primalkitchenfoods vegan ranch, @sietefoods cassava flour tortilla chips, @wildplanetfoods tuna, and @yogitea licorice tea! (licorice tea is my fave💜) Sun warrior protein powder👉🏻this is made out of organic pea protein, organic hemp protein, organic goji berry, organic vanilla flavor, organic guar gum, sea salt, organic Stevia, and organic whole coconut. It has 100 cal in a scoop with 2 g of fat, 2 g of carbs and 18 g of protein. I’m really excited to try this! The 🥥 adds medium chain triglycerides to provide you with quick energy😊 One of the questions I get asked a lot is what kind of protein powder I recommend. One of my favorites is a grass fed whey protein powder from @jarrowformulas (for those that aren’t dairy sensitive)! However, the main thing you should look at when purchasing a protein powder is the ingredients👉🏻how many fillers does it have? For example this is the ingredient list on muscle milk’s protein powder: Soluble Vegetable Fiber, Non Dairy Creamer (Sunflower Oil, Maltodextrin, Sodium Caseinate [a Milk Derivative], Mono-and Diglycerides, Tocopherols)👉🏻TRANS FAT😣, Alkalized Cocoa Powder, Maltodextrin, Canola Oil, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Organic Oat Fiber, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Calcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Oxide, Acesulfame Potassium, Ascorbic Acid, Sucralose, Enzyme-Modified Cocoa Butter...and the list goes on and on. My conclusion👉🏻 Choose protein powders with: 1. Quality protein sources 2. Minimal ingredients 💪🏼
🤗Tonight’s dinner was stir fried pesto chicken over cauliflower rice and spinach! So easy and delicious and only took 20 minutes! 👉🏻2-3 frozen chicken breasts defrosted and sliced Cook over medium high heat until no longer pink and add salt, pepper and 1/4 cup @traderjoes pesto 👉🏻cook @traderjoes frozen cauliflower rice in a separate pan over medium heat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Add spinach towards the end☺️
