Macro-Friendly Meal Prep Dinner Recipes

Image
You guys know I’m all about easy, macro-friendly recipes, especially if I can prep them ahead of time. Sunday is typically my food prep day in the kitchen, so the more meal prep ideas I have, the better! I really love starting the week with some of my favorite recipes at least semi-prepped, so dinnertime doesn’t feel as daunting, especially mid-week when I’m just not in the mood to cook. I sometimes lose my cooking motivation, so give me all of the macro-friendly meal prep recipes! Plus, it feels like I sort of have my sh*t together! 😉 I also love meals with a short ingredient list because, hello, who has time to round-up all sorts of hard-to-find ingredients or shop at a zillion different stores. Not me! Keep it simple, baby! Healthy eating doesn’t need to be difficult, so, below, I’ve shared my favorite macronutrient diet recipes. These are tried-and-true recipes that we make again and again in our house. There’s even a macro-friendly pasta recipe! The best part about them though

5K Training Plan to Celebrate Global Running Day

Here’s a 5K Training Plan to Celebrate Global Running Day! I don’t know about you, but my love for running always seems to increase when the snow melts and the warm weather arrives. With Global Running Day (aka National Running Day) not too far away, I wanted to make sure I was fully prepared for this fun running holiday. Sure, I’ve run all winter long, but only on the treadmill. I’ve dominated Orangetheory-style workouts, but I haven’t run very much outside or at my usual “longer” distances. As a result, I’ve pretty much only done interval training for the past few months. Of course, this means I’m not in any type of “endurance” shape right now. You know what they say: If you don’t use it, you lose it! Obviously, this isn’t a big deal, and I know I can get back to my usual running routine with some training. Therefore, I created this 5K training plan with the hope of it keeping me on track for celebrating on June 5th!  Wearing:  Run Happy Tank When is Global Running Day? Global

10 & 2 Q: Should You Eat Fat To Burn Fat? Part 2

Image
In the last 10 and 2 Q , Nicki asked me about the idea of eating fat to burn fat… I debunked this notion but you guys had LOTS of questions. So we’re back on the same topic. I’m diving a little deeper, answering more of your thoughts/concerns around eating dietary fat to lose body fat. Eating loads of fat to burn off your body fat is contentious topic in the keto world. Click above to listen to my take on it.   Full Transcript: Nicki: So Robb, you had some follow on comments to the eat fat to burn fat ten and two question that we had. Robb: Yeah. It was a super popular question and appreciate all the comments. This is how I learn and continue to figure out what people need. So, I super appreciate that stuff. It’s interesting in the beginning of a low carb or ketogenic diet, it does almost feel like magic because you kind of feel like you can eat more than what you’ve ever eaten in the past, and you still lose weight, you feel better, your energy levels are kind of regulated.

What’s the Pegan Diet? (And How Does It Compare To Primal?)

Image
Because people don’t have enough diets to choose from already, there’s a new one on the scene: the Pegan diet. Actually it’s not that new—Dr. Mark Hyman started writing about it back in 2014 , but it’s gained traction since he published his latest book last year, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? According to Hyman, Pegan is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek play on the fact that it’s not quite Paleo and it’s not really vegan, hence Pegan. It claims to combine the best of both diets, namely a focus on eating lots of vegetables, as well as an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and ethical and ecologically sound animal farming. Setting aside the obvious issue that it’s 100% possible to be a vegan who eats few to no vegetables, or to be a paleo dieter who cares naught about the environment, Pegan is touted as being easier to stick to than either vegan or paleo (presumably because Pegan allows for consumption of foods not allowed on either). Frankly, trying to frame it as a bridge betwe

Sunny Side Everywhere

Bright and sunny morning to ya! When Mazen was a toddler he would walk into direct sun and say “TOO SUNNY! TOO SUNNY!” (Eventually I convinced him to wear sunglasses.) I am such a sunshine lover that the only time I say “too sunny” is when it’s 100 degrees at the beach in July at noon. Otherwise – bring it on!
