It’s National Egg Month 🥳, so I had to share It’s National Egg Month 🥳, so I had to share a simple, cozy, and very satisfying recipe! Be sure to save and share this one!! This Quick Protein French Toast comes together with a few basic, nutritious ingredients: @nelliesfreerange eggs, bread, cottage cheese, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup This one is around 24 grams of protein and contains nearly 300 mg of choline. And if you are going through an egg aversion right now, this is a great option because it really does not taste “eggy.” I also love Nellie’s eggs because Nellie’s Free Range hens are raised outdoors in the fresh air under sunny skies. Will you try this one? Let me know in the comments 💛

This might come as a surprise, but... RDAs are n This might come as a surprise, but... RDAs are not the gold standard for thriving in pregnancy. They are the minimum amounts used to help prevent deficiency in healthy populations, not necessarily the amounts I would consider most supportive during pregnancy. And when you look at the research on certain nutrients in pregnancy, it becomes clear that “enough to avoid deficiency” is not always the same as what we want to aim for during this season. Pregnancy places higher demands on the body, which is why I pay attention to nutrients like choline, vitamin D, B6, and selenium, and, just as importantly, the amounts actually included in a prenatal. Because not all prenatals are created equal. If you haven’t flipped your bottle over and looked closely at the label, this is your sign!! And, this is one reason I appreciate @needed ‘s Prenatal Multi. It is formulated with more meaningful amounts of key nutrients, based on more current research and with pregnancy in mind. If you’d like to take a closer look at the prenatal I mentioned in this video, 💬 comment “PRENATAL2” and I’ll send you the discounted link 🤎 #NeededPartner *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Pregnancy nutrition should not make you afraid of Pregnancy nutrition should not make you afraid of every bite. A lot of the “rules” are more nuanced than they sound. Yes, food safety matters. Yes, there are foods to be more thoughtful about during pregnancy. Yes, it is smart to understand risk. But the goal is not to make you scared of every food you didn’t personally cook from scratch. The goal is to know what actually matters, what is worth avoiding, and what nutrients to prioritize so you feel more confident. Because pregnancy nutrition is not just about what to avoid. It is about what to consistently include: protein choline omega-3s iron fiber calcium iodine hydration You deserve more than fear-based food rules. You deserve clear, realistic guidance that helps you feel calmer and more confident with food during pregnancy. ✨ That is exactly why I created @theprenatalnutritionlibrary app (affordable, easy to use, made by prenatal dietitians) Comment FREE and I’ll send you the link to try it 🤍
Pregnancy food guilt is so real. You feel bad for Pregnancy food guilt is so real. You feel bad for eating cereal for dinner. You feel bad for relying on convenience foods. You feel bad because vegetables sound disgusting. You feel bad because your meals feel random. You feel bad because you’re not sure if you’re doing “enough.” But guilt does not make your pregnancy diet better. 🫠 Clear, simple strategies do.

Pregnancy nutrition matters. A lot… But that do Pregnancy nutrition matters. A lot… But that does not mean you need to overhaul your entire diet, follow a perfect meal plan, or stress over every bite. Most of the time, the biggest improvements come from small, intentional changes: adding more protein at breakfast, pairing carbs better, getting in more key micronutrients, supporting hydration, or making meals more balanced and realistic. I just opened a handful of spots for personalized Pregnancy Diet Audits 👇🏼 You’ll send me a few days of your meals, and I’ll show you: – what’s already working – what may be missing – and the simple upgrades I’d make next now! You’ll also get access to the TPNL app to help you put everything into action ✨ 💬 Comment AUDIT ME and I’ll send you the link
