Tips & Nutrition Guidance
Balance macros: Aim to include protein, some healthy fat, and fiber (whole grains or vegetables) so you stay full.
Prepare ahead: Overnight oats, egg muffins, or baked oatmeal are great for busy mornings.
Add variety: Rotate flavors, fruits, greens, nuts, spices (cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric) so you don’t get bored.
Watch added sugars: Use natural sweeteners (fruit, a bit of honey / maple) rather than too much refined sugar.
Portions matter: Even healthy foods can add up in calories if portions are too large.
Find your constant.
Feed your temple.
