Fuel Your Body, Taylor's Version
If you’ve been on Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen the explosion of Taylor Swift memes taking over—so why not use them to drop some nutrition wisdom? Whether you’re trying to hit your protein goals, track your macros properly, or just make sure your meals are actually fueling you, these tips will help!
1. “When I check in and see my client has more than half their protein left at 7 PM…”
Tip: Spread your protein intake throughout the day.
Trying to cram all your protein into one meal isn’t just tough—it’s not enjoyable! Protein helps keep you full, supports muscle recovery, and is best absorbed when eaten consistently throughout the day. Aim to include a protein source at every meal and snack to make hitting your target easier.
2. “When a client doesn’t track the fat content for alcohol…”
Tip: Alcohol is metabolized like fat, even if the label only lists carbs.
Most people assume alcohol just adds “empty carbs,” but your body actually prioritizes breaking down alcohol over other macronutrients. This means excess calories from alcohol can be stored as fat more easily. If you’re tracking macros, don’t forget to account for it properly!
3. “When a client says macros don’t work, but they’ve only tracked Monday to Wednesday and didn’t drink any water…”
Tip: Macros only work if you’re consistent—and that includes hydration!
Tracking for half the week and winging it the rest won’t give you the results you’re looking for. Progress comes from consistency over time. And don’t forget about water! Staying hydrated supports digestion, energy levels, and even helps with hunger cues.
4. “When someone says they’re full but only ate half a salad…”
Tip: A salad alone isn’t always enough fuel.
Salads are great, but if you’re only eating lettuce with a sprinkle of dressing and calling it a meal, you’re probably not getting enough protein, fiber, or healthy fats to stay satisfied. Build balanced meals by adding lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats to keep your energy levels steady.
5. “When you finish portioning your food on a cut, and someone tries to steal a bite…”
Tip: Stick to your plan and own your portions.
When you’re working hard to hit your macros, every bite counts—so protect your plate! If you’ve portioned out your food to fit your goals, don’t let food thieves throw off your progress. Friendly reminder: It's okay to set boundaries around your nutrition goals.
