I am a foodie, love to cook and eat, but I’ve also come to see food as fuel. The 2 can coexist!

What to eat and when comes naturally when you think of food as fuel. I eat my carbs before exercising, protein heavy meals after. I pay attention to fiber content in every meal–this is something essential that I never considered in the past. I also pay attention to protein/carb balance to avoid blood sugar spikes.

It is amazing how well you can eat on very few calories but it takes a lot of time to plan and prepare these meals and snacks which is a problem for many.
