In this series, we will be looking at the biochemical structure and function of the macronutrients, carbohydrate, protein, and fat, to understand the structure and function of these energy yielding nutrients. Optimal utilization of these nutrients depends on both overall adequacy of intake and generally consistent balance among these energy yielding nutrients.

With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and allows us to relax our grip on trying to control and perfectly optimize our eating.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Ellyn Satter's Hierarchy of Nutritional Needs

And here is the Hierarchy of Nutrition Needs that I more commonly use, as described by dietitian colleague and author Rachael Hartley, RD.

When we consider relaxing our tight grip of control of our eating, letting go of food rules and incorporating an “all foods fit” mentality, many of us worry that we will be out of control around those most favorite foods, the ones you always thought you needed to keep out of the house and not allow yourself to eat them at all, because you lose control. Today’s episode talks about why this is a myth, using examples of how we experience the rhythm of our lives and changing seasons. After the holidays, we enjoy the peace and calm of the New Year. In the spring, we are just as happy to see the last snow melt as we were to see the first snow arrive a few months ago. And the school year we were so eager to see begin in the fall, we are thrilled to close that chapter and move into the carefree, long days of summer. Our bodies also crave this balance, and eating those highly palatable foods all the foods would be sort of like the chaos of the holiday season all year long: it’s too much. We need balance, and if we give ourselves permission to enjoy different foods, our bodies will both appreciate that and be ready to enjoy something different next. It may take some time, if our restrictive mentality around those foods is deeply ingrained, but ultimately we can trust our bodies to crave balance and variety all on its own.

Hey folks, I’m back from an unplanned hiatus. Today, I share all about giving ourselves grace when life becomes chaotic or difficult. I share my personal experience about letting go of mealtime expectations during a stressful season of life. It’s okay to be flexible and make adjustments. This teaches us (and our children) to trust ourselves during times when things fall apart, and to give ourselves permission to prioritize only the essentials and let the rest go, requiring us to get very clear on what matters most and what matters less.

It's back to school season, and whatever relief we felt to reclaim the routine and structure of school days has probably given way to remember that school weeks are stressful too, particularly when it comes to feeding, school lunches, tired kids, and stressed parents! In today's episode, Canadian dietitian Terri Ney, RD (sounds like "high," not "hay") shares some encouragement and practical tips for parents around school lunches and other common school day feeding challenges. She has lots of specific suggestions for making school days and school lunches easier. We talk about the age old debate around packed lunch vs. school hot lunch, highlighting a privilege many Americans take for granted (Canadians do not currently have a school lunch program, despite lots of advocacy effort). And Katherine and Terri can't help but wander into the subject of food moralizing messages at school, why they aren't great, and what to do when you face this in your own kids' school.
