Monday In Meals + Why I Needed to Drink Wine

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, friends! Here’s the next edition of Monday In Meals , a new-ish blog series,   where I document what I ate throughout the day on Monday. If you’re a long-time reader, you probably remember the blog’s early days when I used to document allllllll of my meals and snacks, food journal-style, sometimes blogging 3 (!!) times per day. CNC has since morphed into a fitness/lifestyle/family blog, but it’s still fun to return to my blog roots every once in awhile. And even though my diet has changed a bit over the years, I still enjoy a healthy mix of both nutritious and fun foods on a regular basis (i.e. carrots and cake). That said, here’s a recap of my Monday in meals! 7:00 AM Omelet + Roasted Sweet Potatoes I like to start my day with a protein-packed breakfast since it typically holds off my hunger until lunchtime. Lately, I’m really digging eggs, so I whipped up a two-egg omelet with chopped green bell pepper an...

This Ingredient Isn’t Food, But Most Americans Eat It.

Although several large food corporations are reformulating their products to be more “natural”, there’s still a substance found in many conventional food items that isn’t suitable for human consumption – yet many people unknowingly eat it on a regular basis. It is in crackers, peanut butter, tortillas, chips, … Continued The post This Ingredient Isn’t Food, But Most Americans Eat It. appeared first on Food Babe . from Food Babe http://ift.tt/1TkF567

Dear Mark: Higher BMI and Mortality Risk, Calories When Meal-Skipping, HIIT After Fasting

Image
For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering a couple questions from you guys. First, there’s a new paper out claiming that the ideal BMI for overall mortality is an overweight one—27, to be exact. Is this really the case? Should we all pack on a few extra pounds to see us through into old age? Next, should you try to make up for all the “lost” calories when you eat in a compressed eating window? If you skip breakfast, should you try to eat more at lunch? And finally, how does one incorporate high intensity interval training on a low-carb diet that includes fasting? Let’s go: Hey Mark, What do you make of this new study showing that the ideal BMI for mortality is 27, which is overweight? It seems like you hear this a lot, that the slimmer you are, the more you’re actually likely to die young. Here’s an article about the study: http://ift.tt/1T2O78W Thanks! I don’t think much of it, to be honest. It was a pretty broad  study , the kind that’s been done before. The...

Good or Bad: Rice Pudding

Image
This traditional dessert has been making a comeback on social media, but is it a good idea to eat this comfort food regularly? Find out if you want to get involved with the recent renaissance of this dessert. Good The sweet, rich and creamy mixture is downright delish. You’ve got to love that it’s made from simple ingredients like rice, milk, sugar and eggs. While this is a dessert, it does offer some nutritional benefits, including almost 10 grams of protein and 15 percent of the daily recommendation for bone-building calcium per cup. Most rice pudding recipes can be easily modified to be lower in fat and to remove common allergens like eggs and dairy; rice is also naturally gluten-free. If you choose to make it with whole-grain brown rice, it can add to your daily fiber intake. Boosting nutrition by adding fruit is also a tasty option. Add canned pumpkin to the custard and serve it topped with fresh seasonal fruit. There’s also an advantage if you choose to buy your rice pudding...
