#Nutrient Dense

Full day of nutrient dense eating ✅ The best diet is the one that works for you. I like eating a wide variety of whole foods. I throughly enjoy every meal I eat, and that’s what makes it sustainable. I focus on eating single ingredient foods that contain the nutrients my body needs as well as gut health. The best way I’ve found to remain consistent is to find several meals that you enjoy that you can keep in rotation. One of my favorite meals is the first of the day which includes a cup of home made meat stock, a few pasture raised eggs, half ounce of liver here and there, and a yogurt bowl using @trimonayogurt this is one of the highest quality yogurts you’ll find in store. Not only is it organic and grass fed but it’s made with milk from A2A2 tested cows which can be better for digestion. It’s also a great source of unique probiotics that are found in Bulgarian yogurt. You don’t have to copy exactly how someone else eats. Focus on single ingredient foods, pay attention to how certain foods make you feel, and adjust from there. #fulldayofeating #wieiad #trimonapartner #sorted #nutrientdense

Why aren’t we all growing sprouts in our kitchens? Five days. No soil. No garden. No sunlight. Just rinse twice a day and watch a quarter cup of seeds transform into five cups of living food. Sprouts are among the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Broccoli sprouts are one of the richest sources of sulforaphane, studied for cellular protection, detoxification pathways, and healthy aging. If eating enough vegetables feels hard, this is the simplest solution I know. Grow your own food. On your countertop. For a couple dollars.

how to balance ALL your plates 💚 (via: @nicolinanunes) DEFICIT weight and fat loss & SURPLUS weight and muscle gain 🥑 - protein must be high in both, essential for muscle growth and repair. Aim to include high-quality protein sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, and dairy products - opt for complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables. These will help sustain energy levels and support muscle recovery - healthy fats, important for hormone production and overall health. Use avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil. You can adjust the amount on a surplus slightly to accommodate more carbs - vegetables in a deficit are one of the most important keys to add volume and fullness without adding many calories. However, in surplus, in a slightly smaller portion, they are also essential to help support digestion and overall health Follow @calories.tips for delicious healthy recipes! ✨ #thatgirl #meal #mealplan #mealprep #mealprepsunday #meals #recipe #healthyliving #healthyhabits #healthymind #healthyfood #motivation #inspiration #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #balancedplate #healthy #healthyfood #balancedplate #howtomakeaplate #fitnesstips #nutrition #learnonreels #reels #nutritionreels #fitnessreels #nutritiontips

‼️Stop eating “healthy” on autopilot 👀 This isn’t about forcing anyone to eat a specific food. It’s simply about awareness. If you’re aiming for a particular nutrient, some foods naturally provide more per serving than others. That’s it. No fear. No rules. No “must eat this.” Your preferences,budget,allergies,culture….all matter. This is just a smarter way to compare options. For medical conditions or significant dietary changes, consult a doctor or a registered dietitian. Eat what works for you. Just know your upgrades. 💚 #healthylifestyle #healthtips #skin #diet #food

My favorite kind of pasta salad is one where the greens and protein outnumber the pasta. This nutrient-dense, high-protein SHRIMP & ZUCCHINI pasta salad is my idea of a perfect summer meal.

Add all the vinaigrette ingredients to a blender and blend. Dress the salad with the dressing and toss to combine. Preheat the grill to high Skewer the shrimp and zucchini as shown. Brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 minutes on each side. Add the shrimp and zucchini to the salad and toss once more. #pastasalad #easyrecipe #highprotein #nutrientdense

Stop worrying about protein and focus on fibre. If you’re eating a diverse diet with sufficient energy, you’re likely to be getting enough protein already. On the hand, over 90% of us in the US and UK are not hitting the recommended 30g of fibre per day. The lack of fibre in our modern diets is thought to be a driver of human gut microbiome depletion and an associated increase in disease (PMID: 26762459, 33727392) Bu that’s not all, studies have linked eating more fibre with a reduction in your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and multiple cancers (PMID: 30638909) The great news is that there are plenty of high fibre foods that also pack in the protein including: Green Lentils - 24g protein and 20g fibre per 100g uncooked Kidney beans - 22g protein and 16g fibre per 100g uncooked Black beans - 22g protein and 15.5g fibre per 100g uncooked Bulgur wheat - 12g protein and 12g fibre per 100g uncooked Peas - 7g protein and 4.5g fibre per 100g So unless you have a specific need for a high protein diet i.e. if you’re an athlete, you’re elderly or you’re following a vegan diet, you probably don’t need to worry about protein. Focussing on eating enough fibre will not only mean you’re supporting your gut health but more than likely getting enough protein in as well.
