Feeling peckish?

How about some low calorie ideas to help get you through that mid-afternoon hunger spike or post dinner cravings? You have to admit, we all get ‘snaky’ every now and then! Whether it’s from having a bigger day at work, or a sugar craving coming on, you are only human when experiencing these feelings! I use to struggle with these feelings thinking that I was just constantly hungry, which would end up overeating towards the end of the day/night when restricting myself during the day! If you’ve done this/felt like this, then hopefully these snack ideas will help you too!...

Tracking food…what are you really, honestly tracking?

Are you starting to feel a post-covid plateau coming on?! Do you blame this on your diet or your training? Is it really a plateau, or is there a lack of consistency within your diet, training and tracking? Did you know that you will (probably) never 100% accurately track your food intake? Even when you are weighing everything you eat, you will still usually either exceed or fall below your daily goal intake by 10% (each way). This, in some circumstances, means we need to focus more on what we are eating, as well as how much. This includes, of...

The return of eating out

Did you know 2/3 Australians have reported that covid impacted their exercise in a negative way? Or that 40% of Aussies reported they gained weight during isolation? With covid restrictions lifting, Canberra’s return to normal life is increasingly close. Restaurants, cafes and bars are opening their doors and allowing more and more patrons to dine in rather than the covid-classic take out.

Getting Back To The Gym After A Break

Gyms are open after being closed for weeks under restrictions imposed due to COVID-19. It has no doubt been a while since you've seen the inside of a gym and had access to barbells and heavyweight. A lot of people have been training through the lockdown at a reduced capacity with limited equipment and training with lower weight than what they typically would. Some might not have been training at all. It is important to think about how you will approach your training going back to the gym after weeks of either not training at all, or at a reduced...

Fat doesn’t make you fat!

Following from a previous blog that touched on carbohydrates, the importance of them, their diversity and what we label as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ carbs, it only seemed fitting to go over another macronutrient, fats! Now…if there were so many deceptive ‘facts’ surrounding carbohydrates, I have heard many, many regarding fats. The main one being that consuming fats, makes you fat. Lets get one thing straight, this is the same in relation to carbohydrates and many foods, you will ONLY gain weight when you OVERCONSUME foods. Overconsumption of various fats and carbohydrates exceeding that of what you need to meet your...

5 Nutrition Facts//Tips on nutrition and return to the gym

1. The skin of fruits and vegetables often contain significantly higher amounts of nutrients and fibre, then the fruit/vegetable itself!! Be sure to wash all your fruit and veg before eating the skin to be safe, and be sensible, don’t go eating banana peel! 2. Orange fruit will turn your skin a shade of orange!! That is due to them containing high amounts of Beta Carotene. These foods include: pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato etc. 3. Fruit juice isn’t all that different from sugary soft drink!
