What I Actually Eat in a Day (As a Dietitian & Mom of 3)

Let me guess, you think dietitians meal prep on Sundays, eat perfectly balanced meals, and never touch a chicken nugget.

Spoiler: Nope.

I'm a registered dietitian and a mom of three. Which means my meals need to be fast, simple, and actually doable on days when I'm running on fumes.

No fancy recipes. No hours in the kitchen. No pretending I have it all together.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly what I eat in a real day, the good, the lazy, and the "this is what's happening today."

🎧 Here's what you'll discover:

✅ My 5-minute breakfast that keeps me full until lunch (no mid-morning crash)

✅ Why I never drink coffee on an empty stomach and what I do instead ☕

✅ The "lazy lunch" hack I use when I have zero time (and zero shame about it)

✅ What goes into my collagen latte and why it's a total game-changer

✅ Simple dinners that work for the whole family, no separate "kid meals" required

✅ How frozen veggies and salad kits literally save my sanity

✅ Why I don't stress about eating different things every single day

Here's the truth: You don't need fancy recipes, expensive ingredients, or hours in the kitchen to feel better and support your body.

You just need realistic, repeatable meals that actually fit your life.

👉 Listen now and get a behind-the-scenes look at what simple, balanced eating actually looks like when you're a real human with a real life.

I used to start my mornings with almond milk lattes, low-fat yogurt, and a protein bar.

All "healthy" choices, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, those foods were spiking my blood sugar, tanking my energy by 10am, and keeping me constantly hungry.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the most popular "health foods" that are secretly sabotaging your energy, hormones, and weight loss and what to eat instead.

🎧 What you'll learn:

• The biggest coffee mistake moms make ☕
• Why "low-fat" usually means "high sugar"
• What oat and almond milk labels don't tell you
• How your morning smoothie might be working against you
• The sneaky sugar hiding in protein bars
• My go-to swaps for dressings, cereals, granola, and yogurt

The foods you start your day with set the tone for your energy, cravings, and mood.

Listen now and stop letting "healthy" labels fool you.
