Which would you prefer? ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ To follow up on my post yesterday & share a portion of the blog post (link is in the bio) I wanted to share an example of how calories are much more than a number. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Bagel & 6 Tbsp Cream Cheese:⁣⠀ 511 Calories⁣⠀ 27 g total Fat (16 g Saturated Fat)⁣⠀ 51 g Carbohydrates ⁣⠀ 4 g Fiber⁣⠀ 9 g Sugar⁣⠀ 16 g Protein ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ 2 Scrambled Eggs, Toast w/Butter, 1 Cup Sauteed Veggies⁣⠀ 523 Calories⁣⠀ 25 g total Fat (8 g Saturated Fat)⁣⠀ 36 g Carbohydrates⁣⠀ 8 g Fiber⁣⠀ 8 g Sugar⁣⠀ 29 g Protein⁣⠀ +Vitamins & Minerals⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Although similar in some things like calories, the second breakfast is more balanced. I can't stress how important it is when you are on a caloric deficit! When you are eating a caloric deficit it means you have a less of a chance to eat the nutrients you need throughout the day. Having a balanced meal and snacks is key to loose weight in a healthy way and to keep it off. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Do you have a favorite balanced breakfast you'd like to share?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #breakfast #calories #balance #balanced #health #healthy #nutrition #caloricdeficit #weightloss #weightlossjourney #nutrients #macros #macronutrients #balanceiskey #maintain #comparison #foodcomparison #nutritioncomparison #thursdaytruth #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
New post on the blog about how calories are more than a number. If you are watching your calories to loose weight, make sure to check out the post. ⁣Link is in the bio!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ It answers the questions: What keeps you fuller longer? What are healthy fats? Do you need fats if you are trying to loose fat? Are calories equal? What else does you body use for energy when eating a caloric deficit?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I know for me when I started I was more concerned about the number of calories that I was eating and not where they came from or if it was balanced. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Are you on a caloric deficit journey? What has worked for you?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #calories #diet #weightloss #caloricdeficit #nutrition #health #healthy #blog #nutritionblog #blogpost #staymotivated #weightlossjourney #balance #food #eating #looseweight #energy #knowledgeispower #wednesdaywisdom #wisdomwednesday #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
Since I had a request for healthy breakfast ideas that are not smoothies or parfaits, today I’m testing out some egg muffins! Hopefully by the end of this I’ll have and egg/dairy free version as well. 😁 . . . #recipe #recipetesting #egg #eggfree #dairyfree #eggmuffins #health #healthy #healthybreakfast #breakfast #muffin #allergy #easyrecipe #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
Did you know, most people start a workout routine or nutrition goals on a Monday? It's the beginning of the week, a fresh start. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ When people miss a Monday, the rest of the week most likely will follow suit. When you start Monday already accomplishing something like your workout, you are more mindful and ready to continue the trend throughout the rest of the week. Skipping a Monday can be the beginning of a long road of excuses the rest of the week. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This has helped me to push myself out of bed and begin the day, otherwise I know I'll easily convince myself to "do it later". Start the momentum and keep it going!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Never miss a Monday!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #exercise #neverskipamonday #mondayfacts #nevermissamonday #routine #monday #mondays #caseofthemondays #mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #trend #health #healthy #goals #exercisegoals #beginning #beginningofweek #freshstart #letsgo #momentum #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
So I broke a minor fever last night that I got yesterday afternoon because of allergies. Pretty sure I was on the verge or had a minor sinus infection. It reminded me of how important your nutrient intake is when you’re sick. . . . When you’re body is fighting something it needs energy so although you might not feel like eating, or like me had a super sore throat and didn’t want to swollen, snacking here and there is important. . . . And not just carbohydrates like vegetables or grains, but also protein. You body uses protein to make anti-bodies so to continue fighting you need anything you can get. . . . The classic chicken noodle, or chickpea noodle soup is a good go-to but also a simple protein smoothie with some fruit, especially something that would be a good source of Vit C to fight infection like these mango chunks, would be an easy way to get nutrients you need fast. . . . How’s your allergies been treating you? . . . #allergies #infection #sinus #fever #nutrition #health #healthy #sick #sickfood #nourish #bodyneeds #healthylifestyle #eattoheal #eattofuel #eattothrive #eattobeatit #nutrition #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
New Recipe Post! One of my ultimate favorite salads that always sounds good is Caesar Salad!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This recipe takes the average Caesar Salad and makes it less fat and a lighter option, which salad should be, and you can make it dairy free. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I also have tips on making your own croutons. 😋 That way if you need them to be gluten free, whole grain, or dairy free since a lot of crouton ingredients include dairy, you have the option of toasting up a batch quick and easy just for your salad!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ The link is in the bio!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #salad #recipe #saladrecipe #dairyfree #caesarsalad #lessfat #croutons #homemade #recipepost #blog #blogger #health #healthy #nutrition #sidesalad #lunch #dinner #green #greens #yum #nom #food #adifferentbeet #differentbeetnutrition
