🥜 Do you know your portions?
A 30g serving of cashews has around 180 calories and is a very energy-dense, nutritious snack but this equates to as little as 15 nuts! So be careful not to consume that big 200g which could cost you way over 1000 calories.

Nourishing the next generation 👶🏻 🧒 🍎
🍏 what you feed your child to a large extent determines their dietary habits for the future.
🍏 the taste for sugar is acquired from a very young age. The more sugary foods that they are exposed to in childhood, the more likely they are to continue this habit on into adulthood.
... 🍏 with that said, children can be fussy little people and sometimes it seems the easy option to feed them what they want for a bit of peace! However, extensive studies show that it takes a child around 10 times of trying a new food before they decide if they actually like it or not.

Avocado goals 🥑 😍

🖐🏻 watch your portion size! As with any food, portion control is key. Half an avocado is around 120 calories and should be an ample amount for one person.

This lovely lady used oats, eggs, dried fruit, cocoa powder and a sprinkle of choco flakes for a hint of sweetness to curb her nighttime cravings. 👌🏻👏🏻

Kickstart your week ahead!
Get yourself organised for the week ahead with healthy options in your fridge, cupboard or freezer.
Without this, you’ll be far more likely to reach for convenience foods which are high in fat, salt and sugar. You’re also far more likely to spend more pennies as you pick up food on the go!

Are you truly hungry or giving in to your emotions?
The fact is that many don’t recognise the difference between physical and emotional hunger.
Physical hunger is real, your body requires the energy to function. This hunger builds up gradually and will be satisfied with pretty much any food source. This is survival.
... Emotional hunger brings about sudden feelings or cravings for particular foods , usually ones high in fat, salt or sugar. Your body still feels unsatisfied after eating these foods and so, you continue to eat. This results in overconsumption of food, binge eating and often weight gain if repeated regularly.
Often stress, boredom and tiredness send our brains into a false sense of hunger. This is often not what your body needs, however it does need some love, care and attention.
