Tip Tuesday: Good vs. Bad Foods

Good vs. Bad Foods

There are no foods that are inherently “bad”, just like there are no foods that are inherently “good”.⁠

⁠

Yes, I mean that.

There are NO “bad” foods!

⁠

Do you find yourself dismissing foods because you label them as “bad”? Do you find yourself eating the same foods because you label them as “good”?⁠

Instead you should start looking at foods from a different perspective. Some foods are calorie dense and some are not.⁣ Some foods are nutrient dense and some are not. ⁣⁠

⁣⁠

Instead, of labeling foods "good" or "bad", consider the following:

• Can I eat this and still hot my protein goal?

• What macros will this food provide me?⁠

• Am I going to be hungry after eating this food and “spend” most of my daily carbs/fats on this food?⁣⁠

• Have I had many fruits/vegetables today?⁣⁠

• Does this food upset my stomach?⁣⁠

• Do I actually like this food?

• Are there alternatives that I actually enjoy?⁠

⁣⁠

Foods are not "good" or "bad".

You never have to "earn" your food or "work it off" after you have enjoyed it.
