DYK that when you omit breads and grain foods you are missing out on #fiber? Dietary fiber is important for gut health and regularity 💩 and adding some whole grains into the diet reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL. Fiber in the duet also helps with blood sugar regulation. Do you…

Are you constantly reheating your coffee or tea? Are you pouring hot coffee onto cold coffee? I love hot coffee in the morning. If you’re trying to cut back on caffeine an insulated cup is a game changer. #coffeelover #coffeemugs #mugcollection #caffeine #nutritioncoach

Consulting is wild. 😵‍💫 Who would spend $600 of their own money to travel to a professional meeting, and then basically not get compensated to do so? Know your worth ✨ It can take 30 or more hours to create and hone a slide deck, then present. 🎤 It always astounds me when organizations think…

I was invited to visit Fargo North Dakota soybean growers on behalf of @ndsoy We learned more about soy nutrition, soybean production and processing. Soybeans provide so much to our foodscape: tofu, edamame, soy sauce, vegetable oil, tempeh, and soymilk. #soyfoods #soyhealth #hearthealth…

It’s a good season to bake. Use the basic muffin recipe from my Zero Waste Cooking For Dummies®️ book. I added dried cherries. 🍒 Dried cherries are loaded with antioxidants. They’re a great source of potassium and magnesium too. I get mine at Costco. BASIC MUFFINS 2 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1…

Nobody needs packing tape frustration ok? #lifehacks #chewthefacts

👋🏼 Can we be friends? Because unfortunately…. I’m a for-real dietitian who sometimes eats potato chips and drinks a martini…sometimes. The current nutrition world is bonkers and the diet feed is relentless. No wonder people have food noise. There are no hard rules and every persons needs are…

Fibermaxing? Watch out for too much, too soon!! Yes, most people don’t get enough fiber, but dietary fiber requirements should be personalized (14 grams per 1000 calories - often 25-35 grams is recommended, but most adults are fine with 20-30 depending on age and calorie needs, some may need up to…

Your health isn’t in a bottle. Powdered greens aren’t really helping anyone. Improving your overall diet 🥬 and fitness 💪🏼 is more helpful. Of course access to healthcare is vital to track health with an annual exam and bloodwork. #supplements #healthydiets #chewthefacts #dietitansoftiktok

Taste test: If you are looking for meat alternatives, check out @Beyond Meat Sun Sausage. I tried the pesto flavor and it was quite good sautéed with broccoli and tossed with pasta and feta. The Feta cancels this dish from being vegan but the Beyond products are. They’re made with pea protein…

It is a very interesting time in history. Public mistrust in science has grown. This mistrust is fueled, not only by unqualified “influencers”, but by people in the health care space that spread misinformation about food, nutrition and medicine. However, the root causes of chronic disease are not…

It’s tiring. Half (or maybe more) of the good advice you see & hear is misguided or outright false. Nutritional needs change through the lifecycle. Everybody doesn’t need to do the same thing to maintain good health. #findadietitian #dietitianauthor #dietitiansoftiktok #foodexpert…

It’s #EarthMonth! I delivered a webinar today, in partnership with Food Waste Prevebtion Week, offering some strategies to combat food waste. I explored how food waste reduction is a critical piece of the food system, along with information about food waste in the US and globally. There are so…

Bagel scooper? What are you doing with the bread crumbles from your bagel? 🥯 You may see people scoop out bagels on this app. I know Bethany Frankel often does. A scooped bagel is nice for a sandwich because you can “fill the moat” with filling. Don’t throw them away! Do this instead! They…

Tuna salad fans? I love a good tuna salad sandwich. Hard cook the eggs by gently placing them into is a small pot of shallow, boiling water. Reduce heat to low simmer. Cover with lid, steam for 15 minutes. Immediately rinse in cold water or place in a bowl of ice water. Cool, peel. I usually…

#stitch with @Paul Saladino Ugh. This guy. Fact: All fats CAN go rancid. Fats and oils should be stored in a cool, dark place. 🥜 Jars of natural (natural oil from nuts on top) peanut butter lasts about 1-2 months on the shelf once opened, and 6 months in the refrigerator. 🥜 Commercially…

Are you familiar with Pulses? ✨ Pulses ✨ are the broad term for the dry, edible seeds of legumes - dry peas, lentils, chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and dry beans. Pulses are an excellent source of fiber - both soluble and insoluble. Each 1/2 cup of beans provides up to 9 grams of protein. A 1/2 cup…

Fatty fish like salmon offers you healthy omega-3 fatty acids DHA & EPA. 💜 These salmon patties are made with canned salmon. East to make. Freeze well. #zerowastecooking #omega3s #healthyfats #essentialfattyacids #dashdiet #hearthealthy

Not all processed food is “bad”. Can we stop with that simplistic line please?! Some random dude’s opinion about food or ingredients has NOTHING to do with your health. Everybody has different needs and preferences, so tell Joe Shmo to get off his high horse. #nutritionexpert #foodfacts…

Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be hard. I have 30+ years of experience in food & nutrition. I’ve worked in hospitals, healthcare centers, colleges and long term care. Food dyes are not our problem. Portions and abundance are. Even though the FDA was pressured to bad Red dye 3, there’s actually…

Jan 20, 2023 The dietary guidelines committing is recommending 2.5 cups of beans per week for better health. That’s about 1/2 cup of beans, 5 days a week. Adding beans to your diet in different ways can help you meet that goal. Beans are rich in fiber and nutrients. Will you try bean toast?…
