Surf N Turf Shrimp Salad Bowl {Copycat Recipe}

Hubby and I recently took our first “real” vacation (i.e. a trip that was more than a night or two and which wasn’t somehow work-related) since our honeymoon. We took a 10 day trip to Hawaii (full recap post to follow once I can organize photos). I’m gonna be honest, one of the best parts…

An Egg-cellent #WIAW 4 + Super Simple Meal Prep

It’s been a while since I’ve done a #WIAW post! Since I actually had the forethought to take photos of a full day’s eats, I decided I should join the party again after my hiatus. This #WIAW is also a testament to the fact that a meal prep for the week does not have…

Using up a $50 @rubytuesday gift card one ginormous carry-out salad at a time—and I’m definitely not mad about it!!🥗 • You can’t tell, but this is close to 2.5 lbs of veggie goodness! Tomatoes, baby portobellos, beets, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, and artichokes, peas, and corn. Also, unpictured cilantro lime vinaigrette which I am going to have to figure out how to recreate at home, because it’s that good. The first time I stopped by there, I made the mistake of worrying about getting leafy greens. This time I just stuffed the bad boy full to the brim with veggies and it will be enough for 2 meals when paired with a protein • I tend to get stuck in a rut with ordering one of the same two salads from @panerabread or steamed chicken, shrimp, and mixed vegetables from a local Chinese place. I’m definitely a #CreatureOfHabit when it comes to eats. What’s your favorite restaurant to get heathy take-out from? • #TrustThePAC #MyRxIsFood #MyTxIs150 #LikeHowYouEat #LikeHowYouMove #spirituallyfit #spiritualhealth #spiritualgains #HighLevelLiving #fit #fitfam #fitfood #fitness #fitlife #heathy #macromicrobowl #healthy #healthylife #healthyfood #health #FoodTipsFromKaci #WhatCanBeGained #WhatCanBeGainedCoaching #WhatCanBeGainedBlog

Follow up from my previous post regarding macros and intuitive eating. Hear me out, I promise I’m not hating on either one, as I actually practice a little of both. • In my first post, I discussed why I think that following macros and intuitive eating are both somewhat of an illusion. Does that mean that I think they don’t work? Absolutely not! I believe that they are both useful tools which can be applicable in different ways. I will address this in later posts. • I also want to say that I totally understand everyone’s journey is different. My intent in sharing my personal philosophy is simply to give others an idea of how to refine their own process. I’d love to be able to cover it all in one post because I know it’s a heavy topic. Instagram limits me to not writing a book and I’m prone to do that. Thus the post series. • I think there are definitely people who eat intuitively and don’t have a history of tracking macros, but they still probably have a history of dieting, which is a similar process. I believe the application is close enough for the two to be considered interchangeably with regard to my ideas. Again, I’ll clarify more what I mean in follow up posts. • The reason for these posts is that I feel it is an important topic to address for those who are attempting to navigate the waters in moving from one system to the other (or how to successfully implement both simultaneously). I want to offer this information *specifically* in the context for those who are looking for freedom with food, working on ED recovery, or overcoming a diet mentality (as what I have walked through personally). For more on this topic, I would encourage you to follow @dashingdish. • To be clear for the context of posts moving forward, this is my goal: I want to ultimately point others to rely on the Lord for guidance, above any of these tools (macros, intuitive eating, meal plans, etc.) which can potentially become an idol. I know from experience that even good things, when placed above the Lord in my life, became a hindrance. I hope that makes sense and that my follow up posts are more clarifying in light of this context. Cont in conments👇🏼

I have good news & bad news. But, they are actually both the same news. Tracking macros is an illusion. So is intuitive eating. Don’t believe me? I’ll explain. • 1st, let me rewind. I needed your attention & buy-in so that you’d actually finish reading😉 • I get asked a lot about tracking vs eating intuitively, so I thought I’d address a few things related to my beliefs surrounding the issue, each in separate posts, because there are different implications based on what facet of the 2 processes you want to explore. I’ll also offer other accounts you should follow for quality info in each context. OK, with that out of the way, first I’ll address that they are both an illusion. • By very definition, intuitive eating implies that we are letting go of rigid tracking behaviors & trusting ourselves to listen to our body’s cues. But the thing is, if you’ve been a religious macro-tracker, you don’t necessarily need an app to be able to gauge a fairly close estimation of consumption. So, are you really completely relying on intuition when you can tally numbers in your head?🧐 • Macros are also an illusion. Why? Because we are relying on food labels which can vary in accuracy of volume of their contents by up to 20%. Maybe you say, “Kaci I’m good here, because I weigh everything,” but let’s not forget that it’s still only accurate if they are accurate in reporting… Also, things like sugar alcohols & fiber often get misrepresented on labels as 0 kcal, which is not the case. While they may not have 4 kcal per gram like other carbs, they’re close enough that when incorporated often (which is the case for most people, especially those using a macro-based approach), they can contribute a large caloric variation from what you think you’re getting. Labels are only so accurate 🤥 • Also, neither will take into account an individual’s personal hormonal response (a la Metabolic Effect, c/o @mr.garyleake, @jadeteta; follow them if you want more quality info in this arena) to food. (Things like if carbs open up your appetite, or satiate it). These are things you can only learn by trial and error... N=1 (google it if you don’t want to wait for me to explain 🙃). More on this to come!
