In nutrition and intuitive eating spaces, we often talk about eating consistently and adequately as the golden ticket to being satisfied and nourished by our meals while maintaining healthy energy and nutrient levels. But what does that really mean?

There are many nuances to healthy eating. This is why we don’t have one diet or eating style that works best for every single human on the planet. Our individual genes, needs, preferences, and access all play huge roles in what and how we eat. So when I say our goal is to eat consistently and adequately, know that…

Planning or preparing meals ahead of time can be a game changer when it comes to eating well. What I love about using these tools is how easily adjustable they are to changes in our schedule, budget, or preferences.

Eating is an essential form of self-care. How we get our food to our plate can also be a self-care experience as well. Grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking can all be fulfilling ways to take time out of your day to provide your body with what it needs to survive and thrive. For me, meal planning is one of the most important self-care tasks that I do all week because it prepares me to meet my needs and eliminates anxiety when suddenly my stomach is rumbling and I’m asking myself “What’s for dinner?”
