Honestly, this is one of the reasons dieting and “what I eat in a day to eat X grams of protein” is so attractive: rules, straightforward steps, visualization. Eat this, not that. This amount. At this time, not this one. For this many days until X goal achieved.
Can we find nutrition structure without restriction? Absolutely.
If you’re on a loop trying to determine what to eat and if it checks all the boxes, I want you to try my 4-step intuitive eating approach instead:
Of what’s available to me at the moment, what sounds good? Prioritize your satisfaction.
Of my big nutrients, who’s present in that meal? [e.g. carbs, fiber, fat, protein]
Which nutrients are not present?
Do I want to add them now? Or can I prioritize them in the next meal?
From here, the hardest part is following through and not overthinking it. Make a decision, see how it goes, observe how you feel.
Food is not all or nothing, and I know it feels like it is. That’s not your fault.
A few things that help?
📝 A sturdy understanding of nutrition.
🔄 Practicing the little habits.
💞 Learning to trust yourself.
It’s not sexy. Sometimes it’s fun but not always. And also, it’s a surefire way to notice the food perfectionist in your brain take a backseat!
