I know you have heard it before, but breakfast IS the most important meal of the day! However, maybe not for the reasons you may be thinking.

The way you start your day sets the tone for how the rest of your day will go. If you start your day with a carbohydrate-heavy meal that is low in protein and fat, you may feel full and energized for a few hours, but trust me, come mid-morning or early afternoon you are going to experience a massive energy crash, cravings, or an intense desire to take a nap.

The swaps I have listed in this post are pretty basic, but the change you will feel in your energy levels, mood, and mental clarity will be worth it!!

if i’ve learned anything over the past few years as a dietitian, it is that food is SO much more than just something we put in our mouths every single day🍩🍇🍔🥬

food is fuel.💪🏼 it’s medicine.🌡 it is therapeutic 🧠 and it is also incredibly powerful!!💥

i know for me, my relationship with food has changed over the years. this is normal as we pursue different goals, and evolve as humans. when i was younger, i just viewed food as fuel, something to give me energy to get me through practice or a gymnastics meet. then as i got older, food started to become a source of discord as i was going through high school trying to take up as little space as possible. then as i got into college, food started to become fun for me; i loved learning about how different nutrients pair together and how that effects different processes in the body. now i’m at a point in my life where food is my medicine.

something that i haven’t opened up too much about is that not only do i have poly cystic ovarian syndrome ( for short) but i also recently discovered some autoimmune issues going on inside my body. i’m not ready to open up fully about that, but for right now i’m focusing a lot more on how the food i am eating is either harming or healing my body.🩹

your relationship with food can change, and that is O K A Y ! ! !
