Nutrient Content Claims

Image
When choosing a food, you should always check the nutrition facts panel. This is where you’ll find information including a product’s serving size, calorie count, fat, carbohydrates and protein amounts. But let’s be honest, do you really spend time at the grocery store looking at labels and comparing them? It would take hours, and only nerdy dietitians like me actually spend that kind of time checking label information. Instead, most shoppers rely on the information that’s advertised on the front of a package.  So, let’s take a closer look at some of the “information” marketing experts put on the front of the box, things like, “100% whole grain,” or “reduced fat.” Not surprisingly, every food company is putting something on the front of packaging to entice us to grab their brand. These claims are designed to catch our eye, but keep in mind they are primarily about marketing the product — not necessarily about nutrition.  Does a particular nutrient claim mean the foo...

Overnight Oats- Vegan Breakfast Option!

Image
Overnight oats are a great way to get breakfast in every morning. You don't actually need a fancy mason jar to make them either. I love their versatility- you can mix in multiple fruits to change up the flavor. I usually make three at a time, they stay good in the refrigerator for about three days.  Time: 5 minutes, plus overnight soaking Serves: 1 Ingredients: 1/2 cup milk ( you can use cow milk, almondmilk, oatmilk, or even a premier protein shake, there is no rule here).  3/4 Tbsp chia seeds 2 Tbsp nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower butter- again no rules, use what you like) 1 Tbsp maple syrup (honey works too, brown sugar, monk fruit, or stevia if you are really cutting back on sugar) 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick cooking oats might get too mushy, steel cut is fine, they are just a tad crunchier) Directions:   1. Find a bowl with a lid. Mix all ingredients together in bowl and stir well.  2. Cover with lid and let sit in refrigerator for at least 6...

Cream Cheese Chicken- One Dish Meal!

Image
This meal takes about 30 minutes to cook, is gluten free, low carb, and my favorite part- made in one dish! It makes me sad to hear people are cooking one bariatric meal for themselves and something completely different for the rest of their family. TOO MUCH WORK. This recipe works for everyone. Time: 30 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients:  2 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 8 oz white mushrooms sliced (I used cremini mushrooms, use whatever you have and like) 2 cloves garlic minced 1 and 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, breast tenders 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 oz reduce fat cream cheese 1/4 cup broth (chicken, vegetable, whatever you have on hand) 1/4-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or Parmesan cheese 1 cup steamed broccoli or 1 cup steamed peas ( I used peas, but any green veggie makes this dish pop. You could even stir in fresh spinach leaves at the end of cooking for another green option).  Optional- parsley to sprinkl...
