Nourish yourself. Savor eating REAL food.

Feeding ourselves nutritious, REAL FOOD IS SELF CARE.

My nutrition template:

I’m not vegetarian but I do eat a TON of vegetables, most often in the form of kale, or some other dark leafy green. While I do not adhere to a specific diet, I do have a few rules like avoiding processed foods and sugar, and when choosing carbs, choose sources that provide the most nutrition, like chick peas and whole grains, and I no longer drink alcohol.

I’m currently working on building muscle, so am paying extra attention to macronutrients. Macros are the three categories of nutrients you eat the most and provide you with most of your energy: protein, carbohydrates and fats. My breakdown is 44% protein, 33% carbs and 22% fat. Your breakdown will depend on your goal.

Healthy-ish is my go-to for healthy and simple recipes. I also drool over and devour the superior writing, photography and trend reporting. Substitute things like white rice with brown rice, quinoa, or beluga lentils.
