Fresh or frozen? Actually, both are a great choice. . Check out our website (link in bio) and download our Frozen to Fabulous e-book for FREE! . Did you know frozen produce is actually a bit more nutritious. This is because they are harvested at peak ripeness and frozen right away. Another great thing about frozen produce is it typically cheaper!... . In my opinion, fresh always tastes better but I also love the convenience of frozen produce. They also don’t go bad so fast like fresh produce and you always have them in the freezer when you need it! . .

#Repost @aidan_the_dietitian As a Chinese Canadian, I do NOT compromise white rice for brown rice, non-negotiable . Why? The taste difference is too noticeable for me. This is my preference and it's okay as I eat well in other ways.... Typically, people will consider brown rice to be a better option nutritionally than white rice without giving it a second thought. And in a lot of cases that is probably accurate. But as with most things with nutrition, there is some context that can be added . Per 100g of uncooked brown rice there is 120mg magnesium (28% of target for males and 38% for females), 312mg phosphorus (31% of target), 0.35mg B1 (29% of target), 4.5mg B3 (28% of target) and 0.5mg B6 (38% of target) . It adds a bit of fibre, but not a massive amount in the context of ~25g fibre per day for females and ~30g for males (and arguably there are benefits to going slightly higher) . When you put that into the context of 100g of uncooked brown rice being a relatively large amount which contains ~76g of carbs, it might not be considered a great source of micronutrients for those on restricted calories. If you had a smaller serving, the micronutrient content would obviously drop in proportion. But it is still a much better source of micronutrients than white rice . Another factor to consider is that it is actually significantly easier to eat a LOT of white rice in comparison to brown rice. I discovered this from personal experience while living on campus at uni and realising I could eat endless amounts of white rice to fuel my #bulking journey . For people looking to gain size but struggling to eat enough, white rice can be an easier option. For people who aren't looking to do that, brown rice might be a bit more satiating . The other point to consider is personal preference. As you can see, it is isn't a stark night and day difference nutritionally. If you have a strong preference for one over the other, then it would make sense to go with your preference rather than wasting willpower choosing the one you don't like nearly as much for the slight nutritional difference. There are probably better areas to use that willpower See more

#Repost @examinedotcom Satiety and satiation are often used interchangeably to mean satisfying hunger. Technically speaking, however, satiation describes the lack of desire to continue eating a meal, whereas satiety is the feeling of fullness that allows us to stop eating for a while. Protein increases satiety more than carbohydrates and fat do, by increasing thermogenesis and through the direct effect of its constituent amino acids (notably leucine) on the brain.... Fiber improves satiety through multiple mechanisms, including by slowing the absorption of a few nutrients (including fat). It's unlikely that you'll eat a boatload of carbs and fat without either much protein or fiber, then feel compelled to eat the protein and fiber afterwards. So starting a meal with protein and/or fiber is an easy way to make good outcomes more likely for yourself! #examinedotcom #fatloss #healthtip See more
