Bite Me Nutrition

In this episode, I talk about hunger and why it’s not something you need to fear or fight against. Hunger is just a biological signal, and instead of seeing it as a bad thing, I want you to start seeing it as useful information that can actually guide your eating. I walk through some of the common mistakes I see people make when they feel hungry, and why those reactions often make things harder, not easier. Then I share some simple strategies to help you manage hunger in a way that supports y...

In this episode, I talk about what to do after you’ve overeaten, because it happens to everyone. Instead of getting stuck in guilt or beating yourself up about it, I explain why the best move is usually the simplest one: just get back to your normal eating pattern. I also break down what actually happens in your body after a big day of eating, and why the impact is usually much smaller than people think. From there, I share a few simple ways to help yourself feel better, like getting some lig...

In this episode, I talk about why weekends tend to blow up weight loss progress and what to do instead. Weekdays usually have structure, but weekends are more social and less predictable, which can lead to overeating. Rather than trying to eat exactly the same as you do during the week, I suggest creating a simple, structured weekend pattern that fits real life. That might mean planning for two main meals and one lighter meal instead of grazing or swinging between restriction and blowouts.&nb...

In this episode of the Bite Me Nutrition podcast, I’m chatting about the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mums. I talk through breastfeeding hunger and why it can feel next level, plus some practical ways to stay on top of your nutrition without overcomplicating it. I also cover general guidelines to help you feel confident that you’re eating enough and supporting both yourself and your baby. The goal of this episode is simple — to give you some clarity, reassurance, and real-world ti...

I was chatting about one of the trickiest goals in nutrition: trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time, also known as recomposition. Here’s the thing. It can be done, but it’s not easy. You need to be really intentional with your training, nutrition, and recovery. It’s not about bulking and cutting at the same time; it’s more of a careful balancing act. A big factor is your training age, meaning how long you’ve been lifting. If you’re new to resistance training, you can usually pu...

I get asked all the time about calorie counting apps. What’s the “best” one? Honestly, it’s not about which app is the most accurate. The best app is the one you’ll actually stick with. I’ve played around with the big names like MyFitnessPal and Chronometer. They both have their pros and cons, different features and different vibes, but the key is making sure you’re cross-checking the data and not just blindly trusting it. Then there are the newer AI-driven ones like Carbon and MacroFactor. T...

In this episode, I’m talking about how nutrition can support your recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. The two biggest things I focus on are making sure you’re eating enough calories and keeping your protein intake solid. From there, I take a step back and cover the bigger picture, like why fruits and veggies matter, when vitamin D is worth checking in on, and how creatine might (or might not) fit into the puzzle. Most importantly, I’ll remind you that while nutrition helps, it’s onl...

In this episode, I’m diving into the link between your diet, your training, and your menstrual cycle. There’s a lot of blanket advice out there—“eat more carbs here,” “don’t lift heavy there”—but the truth is, what works for one person might be useless for another. Instead of following generic rules, I’ll walk you through how to actually figure out what your body needs. We’ll talk about tracking how you feel, noticing patterns, and then making small, intentional tweaks to yo...

In this episode, I sat down with Jenna to chat about something that doesn’t get talked about enough—what weight loss looks like when you’re dealing with ADHD or other mental health stuff. We covered a lot: things like executive dysfunction, food aversions, meds that mess with your appetite—all the stuff that can make the usual “just meal prep and track your calories” advice completely unhelpful. Jenna shared some really practical tips for meal planning when your brain isn’t exactly playing ni...

In this episode, I’m diving into aggressive dieting—yep, that thing you probably assume I hate. But here’s the twist: I don’t think it’s always bad. In fact, for the right person, it can actually be a smart move. I break down some of the biggest myths around it—like the idea that more aggressive always means more hunger (it doesn’t), or that fast weight loss guarantees rebound weight gain (also not true). I chat through what actually makes an aggressive phase work: a solid day on the plate, a...

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 ...

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...
