HOPPY EASTER from me & my bagel benny Friendly reminder that every food in our lives serves a purpose If it’s not to nourish your body, it’s to nourish your soul You are allowed to eat chocolate.... You are allowed to eat hollandaise. You are allowed to the foods that make today special to you. Enjoy

HAPPY DIETITIAN’S DAY aka St Patty’s Day I am so grateful to be part of a community of such amazing healthcare professionals Dietetic Internship season is upon us, so whether you are prepping for P1 or finishing P3, I HAVE TIPS FOR YOU... You know more than you think you know Trust yourself! The worst case scenario is being wrong & learning from it. Also, I promise the CDRE isn’t as scary as some make it seem. Speak your mind I chose to present information on diet culture and intuitive eating whenever possible. Your preceptors have TONS of knowledge to teach you, but it’s also true that you have a fresh perspective as a new grad. Get them involved in your curiosity about the field! Nothing worth having comes easy It’s hard work. I won’t lie to you. Don’t forget to give yourself some credit for how far you’ve already come. Your degree is an accomplishment in & of itself. With that being said, no designation is worth compromising your mental health. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take it week by week & don’t look further. If you need a day off, take it. If you need support, reach out to your preceptor, fellow interns or internship coordinator. #icymi Dietitians in Canada must complete an undergrad and then three 14-week practicums to gain competency in foodservice management, medical nutrition therapy & population health. Then, we have to pass an exam & maintain our designation by reporting continued learning to the College. Remember this next time someone on the internet claims to know a lot about nutrition #dietitiansday #dietitiansofcanada #rdsofinstagram

CHICKEN WITH THE SAUCE #iykyk Do you ever have cravings you can’t quite put your finger on Maybe it’s because you’re craving nostalgia more than anything. Beyond the flavours, you want the full experience. With the people, at the table.... When we can’t recreate the experience, food can be the next best thing to provide comfort. & that’s okay I don’t often crave Sodexo catering, but when I do it’s because I’m craving undergrad DM me if you want the recipe

GO TO BREAKY Sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking, especially when I don’t feel like eating Low appetite is not an excuse for skipping meals, but it happens! You’re human ... Meal skipping has become normalized thanks to diet culture & weight loss approaches like intermittent fasting - which is really just planning to skip meals at certain times to reduce overall intake. Restriction but make it trendy Focus on fats when low appetite strikes to boost caloric intake provide sustaining energy maximize the opportunity to eat CHOOSE TO NOURISH YOUR BODY TODAY @countryharvestcanada ancient grain bread 1/4 avo everything bagel seasoning sriracha
