Episode 110: When to lose weight

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/07/11

In this episode, I’m diving into a question I get all the time: “Is now a good time to try and lose weight?” And honestly, it’s such an important one to ask. Just wanting to lose weight doesn’t automatically mean now’s the right time to do it. Life might be busy, chaotic, or just not set up in a way that makes fat loss realistic—or sustainable. So I chat through some of the challenges that come with trying to lose weight, what kind of planning it actually takes, and why maintaining your curre...

Episode 109: How to count calories

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/07/04

In this episode, I dive into the topic of calorie tracking—something that gets a lot of love and a lot of hate in the nutrition space. I’m not here to say everyone needs to do it forever (spoiler: you definitely don’t), but I do think it can be a really useful tool at certain points in your nutrition journey. I talk through when it actually makes sense to track calories, when it might not, and how to approach it in a way that’s helpful—not obsessive. I also cover some of the most ...

Episode 108: How to eat when traveling

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/06/26

In this episode, I ran through some of my go-to travel tips—mostly around how to enjoy food while you’re away without blowing up all your progress. Because yes, you can absolutely eat incredible food on holidays and still feel good when you get home. It’s just about staying aware, making a few smart-ish choices, and moving your body when it makes sense. I also dug into the mindset side of things—how to avoid that all-or-nothing spiral and actually enjoy your trip without feeling like you need...

Episode 107: Gut health and antibiotics

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/06/20

In this episode, I dive into what actually happens to your gut when you take antibiotics—and how to help it recover without overcomplicating things. Antibiotics are incredibly useful when needed, but they don’t just target the harmful bacteria. They also knock out a lot of the good stuff that keeps your gut healthy. So, if you’ve recently finished a course (or have one coming up), this episode is all about how to support your gut in a realistic, food-first way. I break down what happens to yo...

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/06/13

In this episode, I catch up with Jenna to chat through the CrossFit nutrition course—and let’s just say, we’ve got thoughts. We talk about how the course leans hard into body composition and aesthetics, and how that doesn’t always reflect what everyday athletes actually need. Jenna shares her experience from the Torian Pro, and we dig into why nutrition for performance is so different from just eating to look a certain way. We also bust a few common myths—like carbs being the enemy, or insuli...

Episode 105: When should you eat?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/06/06

In this chat, I’m talking about eating windows — and no, not literally eating windows (although I do make that dad joke). I mean the timeframe between when you start eating and when you stop each day. Turns out, that simple window can have a pretty big impact on your appetite, energy, and even fat loss. I walk through how shifting your meal times — like starting breakfast later or wrapping up dinner earlier — can help you eat less without feeling restricted. I also unpack the whole intermitte...

Episode 104: Upgrade Your Dinner Box

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/05/30

In this episode, I’m talking all about dinner boxes—like HelloFresh, Dinnerly, those kinds of things. If you’ve ever wondered whether they’re actually good for you or how to make them work better for your goals, this one’s for you. I cover the basics—what I like, what I don’t love so much—and a few simple tweaks you can make to level them up. Stuff like checking the nutrition info (don’t worry, it’s quick), going easy on the oil, and swapping out high-calorie sauces if you want to...

Episode 103: Can you trust the calories on your watch?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/05/09

In this chat, I talk about smart devices—things like fitness trackers, Fitbits, Garmins, and my personal fave, the Apple Watch—and how they measure calorie burn and energy expenditure. Spoiler: they’re not super accurate when it comes to calorie tracking. I break down why that is, and more importantly, how you can still use the data in a helpful way without getting too caught up in the exact numbers. It’s all about understanding the limits of the tech while still making the most o...

Episode 102: Will creatine make you bald?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/05/01

I get asked about this all the time—does creatine cause hair loss? So I thought I’d clear the air. There’s one study people always point to where they saw an increase in DHT levels (a hormone linked to hair loss) in guys taking creatine. But here’s the thing—just because something is statistically significant doesn’t mean it actually makes a difference in the real world. That’s a super important distinction. Also, a lot of the fear around this comes from seeing bodybuilders who take creatine ...

Episode 101: Do you need a preworkout?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/24

In this episode, I’m diving into the world of pre-workout supplements—because let’s be honest, it’s a jungle out there. I break down what’s actually in them (caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine), what those ingredients really do, and how much you actually need. I also chat through who might benefit from a pre-workout, and who probably doesn’t need to spend the money. Spoiler alert: it’s not essential for everyone. And like always, I remind you that no supplement can outdo solid...

Episode 100: How Much Protein is Too Much?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/17

In this episode, I chat about the difference between getting enough protein and getting the right amount for you. I break down why those standard government guidelines around protein might keep you out of deficiency, sure—but they’re not necessarily helping you feel your best, especially if your goals include things like holding onto muscle, managing your appetite, or just having more energy day-to-day. I also touch on how your ideal protein intake depends on your body and your goals—it...

Episode 99: Are Fake Meats Healthy?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/10

In this conversation, I dive into the whole fake meat thing—what’s actually in them, how they stack up nutritionally, and why some of the hype (both good and bad) doesn’t always hold up. A lot of people assume fake meats are automatically healthier than the real deal, but it’s not that simple. I talk through the differences between products, what to look out for on the label, and some of the sneaky stuff no one really talks about. Time Stamps 00:00 Introduction to Fake Meats 02:57...

Episode 98: Food Wastage & Weight Loss

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/03

In this chat, I talk about how food waste can actually mess with your weight loss goals. You know those times you finish your kids’ meals or eat the scraps left on the table? Yeah, that stuff adds up and can totally slow down your progress. I get it—it feels wasteful to throw food out. But here’s the thing: eating extra calories your body doesn’t need is just as wasteful, if not more.

Episode 97: A Better Way to Lose Weight

2025/03/27

In this episode, I talk about a different way to approach weight loss—by breaking it up into manageable phases. I explain why having clear targets and deadlines can actually boost motivation and help you stay on track. And instead of pushing non-stop, I’m a big fan of taking breaks and practicing maintenance along the way.

Episode 96: Hunger & Weight Loss

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/03/21

In this chat, I’m diving into the messy, often confusing world of hunger—especially when you’re trying to lose weight. I talk about how hunger is totally normal during a diet and why it’s so important to actually understand it, not just try to ignore or fight it. I share some down-to-earth strategies to manage hunger, from tweaking meal timing and what’s on your plate, to looking at how things like poor sleep or your menstrual cycle can mess with your hunger levels.

I talk about how hormones can affect everything from hunger to energy levels and why it’s so important to understand your own patterns. I also share practical tips on how to adjust your nutrition, exercise, and mindset to keep making progress, even when your body feels like it’s working against you.

Episode 94: Parasite Cleanses

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/03/06

So in this chat, I’m talking about parasite cleanses and some of the big misconceptions around them. They sound tempting because they claim to fix all these vague symptoms, but the reality is that actual parasite infections are pretty rare in developed countries. I wouldn’t recommend self-diagnosing—if you’re worried, it’s always best to see a doctor and get proper testing. We also get into the importance of overall diet quality and why anecdotal stories about cleanses can b...

Episode 93: Should I worry about preservatives?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/02/27

In this chat, I talk about preservatives in food and why it’s not worth stressing over every little ingredient. Instead of getting caught up in avoiding certain foods, I focus on the bigger picture—eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods without overcomplicating things. I also share my thoughts on those food-rating apps that make quick judgments based on preservatives (spoiler: they’re not super helpful). The main takeaway? It’s better to focus on overall eating habit...

In this episode, I set the record straight on oats and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions out there. People often question whether oats spike blood sugar, lack protein, or contain too much phytic acid—but I break down the science to show why oats are actually a great addition to a healthy diet. From improving cholesterol to helping with blood sugar control, they’ve got some solid benefits. Time Stamps 00:00 Defending Oats: A Nutritional Perspective 02:51 Debunking Myt...

In this episode, Jenna and I break down the connection between healthy eating and weight loss. We chat about what a healthy diet really means, why a calorie deficit is key for shedding pounds, and the tricky balance between eating well and managing calories. Jenna points out that just because something is “healthy” doesn’t mean it’ll help you lose weight if you’re not keeping an eye on portions. We also touch on the calorie density of the Mediterranean diet and the trade-offs between fu...
