Another great mama tip

It’s always interesting how we look at food. Why do we view some foods as fattening versus others? It’s true that protein content can modify fat versus muscle gain slightly but our activity and genetics play more of a role there. So in the end it’s calorie intake.

Calorie intake can change based on the food type too. Would the salad leave someone fuller than the pizza which would cause fewer calories to be eaten later? Maybe.

But I also think stress and guilt from eating foods we deem as fattening isn’t great either. Or the restriction of such foods because we think they are bad.

Yes, focus on more fruits and veggies and lean protein sources, but don’t get caught in the dichotomous thinking (some foods are good and some foods are bad). ❤️

As someone on twitter pointed out, I’d like my salad and pizza. Lol!
