Part of the reason I think I always failed at losing weight before is I could never get past my love of comfort food. I thought dieting meant salads, veggies, and bland protein, which was never sustainable for me beyond a few days. IIFYM was a game changer for me. The flexibility to fit my…

Quick Pasta Meal Prep
Anyone else struggle with finding the time on a Sunday to meal prep? I’d far rather spend the time with my hubs and my pups, prepping for baby and enjoying our last few months of time as a family of 3 (5 if you count the pups). After last week, though, it was a necessity. …
Recap: Eggland’s Best IG Takeover
On Tuesday, I had the amazing opportunity to takeover the Instagram pages of one of my favorite companies, Eggland’s Best. I’ve shared before about the ways that Eggland’s Best Eggs are better than ordinary eggs – they have 6x more vitamin D and 10x more vitamin E, among other benefits. We go through a minimum of…
Make-ahead Southwest Breakfast Burritos with Eggland’s Best Eggs
This post is sponsored by Eggland’s Best Eggs. Usually, my husband and I both travel Monday to Thursday for work – welcome to a two-consultant household! My travel has been scaled back a bit recently with new clients that prefer to do work remotely. Talk about a huge relief when you’re 3 months pregnant…
The Basics of Flying With Food
It’s October and I’ve already flown nearly 90,000 miles aboard 75+ flights – and the travel isn’t letting up anytime soon. When I’m on the road that much, eating out every meal really isn’t sustainable. It’s hard to guesstimate my macros and my sodium intake soars. Traveling with my own food from home has become…
High Carb Day: Pizza done right
The point of the IIFYM lifestyle is to hit your goals in a healthy way – no deprivation and never having to say no to your favorite foods. Everything in moderation, y’all. The hubs hopped on the macro bandwagon a few months ago with the help of our amazing coach, Ashley, the owner of Grit…
Pomegranate Sorbet Cocktail
Who loves a fizzy drink on a Friday night? This girl. I had some Arctic Zero in the freezer for way too long and have been searching for ways to mix in their low carb, protein ice creams to “healthify” some of my favorite treats. Immediately my mind went to a sorbet cocktail. Fizzy, fruity,…
Restaurant Guide: Macaroni Grill
Here’s my regular dilemma: I’m traveling through an airport around dinner time. I’m not in Atlanta or Dulles (you win the food game, ATL and IAD!). I could grab a grilled chicken sandwich from a fast food restaurant, but I really want dinner. A sit down, waste time while waiting on a delayed flight dinner. Chicago O’Hare…
Meal Prep Monday: Jan 23
After months of loose tracking and intuitive eating, I’m back on my macros this week, cutting for our wedding (100 days! Eek!). My travel isn’t making it easy, though, so I’m taking my meal prep along with me, thanks to my 6 meal ISO bag. In the bag this week is a new lo mein-inspired…
Thai Mini Meatloaf Meal Prep
I have a strange love affair with meatloaf. It’s one of those comfort foods that I can never get enough of. Still, it’s hard to justify the fatty beef and mashed potato topping more than once a year, so I’m constantly on the lookout for a new, healthier take on the classic. Meet Thai…
Popcorn + Nutritional Yeast
Want to add a cheesy, nutty flavor (think Parmesan!) to your favorite snacks without actually adding a bunch of cheese? Grab some nutritional yeast, called “nature’s Cheeto dust“. Nutritional yeast is an inactive strain of fungi (like mushrooms) that’s grown specifically for it’s nutritional value.
Single Serving Apple Crisp
The Mister loves pie. Like LOVES, chooses as his last meal, pie. I, on the other hand, am impartial. Give me a good cake any day. Cobbler is the perfect compromise. It has all of the pie filling goodness with the ideal crust/cake to fruit ratio to overcome my distaste for too-fruity pie. Unfortunately, making…
