If ya think about it... rocks are just inaccessible nutrients that water helps break down over time, which then can be accessed by plant roots and the delivered to us or other animals as edible nutrients.

Plants are just catalysts to help us eat rocks.

Understanding FDA Guidance: "Excellent Source of Fiber" and "Good Source of Fiber"

Welcome to fitscientist! I'm a food scientist irl and I see a lot of misconceptions about packaging claims out there - I'm trying to be more active on my tumblr (instead of just reblogging/queuing pretty pictures - which obviously I will continue to do!!) and I'd like to share my expertise with you all so we're all more knowledgeable about food labeling, packaging, and more - especially as we are all on our fitness journies together :) The more you know!

Today, we'll be discussing the FDA's guidance on "Excellent Source of Fiber" and "Good Source of Fiber" claims found on food packaging. Understanding these claims can help you make informed choices when selecting products that contribute to your daily fiber intake. Let's dive in!

FDA Guidance on "Excellent Source of Fiber" and "Good Source of Fiber"

The FDA has established specific criteria for food manufacturers to use the terms "Excellent Source of Fiber" and "Good Source of Fiber" on their packaging. These claims are intended to inform consumers about the fiber content of a particular food product.

Here's a breakdown of the FDA's guidance:

1. "Excellent Source of Fiber": - To make an "Excellent Source of Fiber" claim, a food product must contain at least 20% of the Daily Value (DV) for fiber per serving. - The DV for fiber is 28 grams per day based on a 2,000 calorie diet. - Therefore, a food item must contain at least 5.6 grams of fiber per serving to qualify as an "Excellent Source of Fiber."

2. "Good Source of Fiber": - To make a "Good Source of Fiber" claim, a food product must contain at least 10% of the DV for fiber per serving. - This means the food item should contain at least 2.8 grams of fiber per serving.

It's important to note that these claims are based on the fiber content per serving of the food product. Different products may have varying serving sizes, so it's crucial to check the serving size stated on the packaging to accurately gauge the fiber content you'll be consuming. Why Fiber is Important (as covered in a previous post, but a reminder on why fiber is important for our health!): - Fiber aids in digestion, promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. - It helps control appetite by keeping us feeling full for longer periods, which can support weight management goals. - Fiber plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those aiming for stable energy levels. - A high-fiber diet has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and improved cardiovascular health. When shopping for food products, the "Excellent Source of Fiber" and "Good Source of Fiber" claims can be helpful indicators of a product's fiber content. By understanding the FDA's guidance, you can make informed choices to meet your daily fiber needs. Remember to check the serving size and consider incorporating a variety of fiber-rich foods into your diet for optimal health benefits. Stay nourished and enjoy a fiber-filled lifestyle! Disclaimer: The information provided in this blog post is for educational purposes only and should not replace professional medical advice nor guidance for front-of-pack labeling claims. Please consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations, and consult with a regulatory professional for guidance on product content or other claims for your own products.

Lucca eu perdi muito peso já desde quando comecei aqui, mas não vejo muita diferença no meu corpo, só pescoço, pernas (a parte da virilha nem tanto) e costas, queria perder mais cintura mas por mais que eu me exercite todos os dias ainda assim não afina, tem alguma dica? Tenho q comer mais proteína pra perder gordura corporal?

Oioi, anon

Emagrecimento é um processo demorado, mesmo que você não tenha perdido tudo o que deseja, você está perdendo algo, então não desanime!

Quem perdeu 20kg começou perdendo 1!

.

Sobre afinar a cintura eu não tenho exercícios pra te recomendar, mas quanto a perca de gordura você deve sim focar em proteína!

Perder gordura -> comer menos (déficit calórico) + muita proteína (cerca de 1,4-1,8g por kg) + cardio

Mesmo com exercícios, sem uma dieta balanceada você perderá apenas peso, não necessariamente gordura🤷🏻‍♂️

Sabe aquela impressão de que seu tamanho reduziu, mas você está "fofinha", não fica sequinha, sabe? É o tão temido skinnyfat klkkk por isso é importante termos uma boa alimentação ☝🏻

Espero ter ajudado!

I’m gonna share another very useful approach to life as an adult with ADHD: cooking and nutrition edition.

The American idea that dinner is “meat/protein with a veggie and a side” and that this is somehow an easy thing to prepare is a lie. That’s so much work. Sometimes I like making a meal that requires a lot of effort but that’s not sustainable for my average weeknight dinner.

I would like to instead introduce you to my world of Sauce Based Cooking. It is predicated on the idea that the “one pan meal” is not a category of recipe but rather a decision made by the chef. There are some deviations (some meals require a pasta pot and/or sheet pan) but that’s still way less than a lot of recipes call for. If it requires a blender, simply close the link and step away.

Rules for Sauce Based Cooking Freedom:

Have more spices/flavorful pastes than you know what to do with. Better than Bouillon and miso paste and curry paste and spice mixes etc etc. You are not running an authentic Tex-Mex restaurant from your kitchen just get the taco seasoning packets.

If you eat meat, you should be buying bone-in skin-on chicken thighs. Not chicken breasts. You can braise a chicken thigh for two hours and it will only get tastier and better. Cooking a chicken breast is stressful and requires a level of precision im not prepared to give to a chicken.

Focus on learning to make tasty BASES. You have learned if you make it and it tastes good to you. Nail down a good cream sauce, perfect your 20 minute marinara, learn a coconut curry, figure out the basic components of a marinade. Add some ground ginger to your chicken soup and thank me later. Then cooking is just beating protein and veggies into submission under your sauces and above your grains.

Don’t try and make ~dishes~. I call this “Zelda cooking.” You need something that you enjoy eating and gives you the nutrients you need to function. Prep vegetables and proteins you like and dump them into a sauce you also like. Add some polenta or bread or rice or couscous or any other grain to soak up the sauce and make it filling and satisfying. 9 times out of 10 it’s gonna work. The only decision you need to make is the flavor profile of the sauce.

Buy the precut vegetables. I know. It feels wasteful. So much plastic. But I promise you it’s way more wasteful to throw out half your groceries and order Uber eats 5 days in a row because you never managed to chop an onion. It’s okay. Precut/frozen vegetables and canned ingredients and prepared food items are going to be your lifeline. I can turn a rotisserie chicken and plastic tub of mirepoix (pre chopped onions, celery and carrots) into a delectable soup with just things in my pantry at this very moment.

Same as above but line the pan with foil. Save yourself a dish.

Add at least one vegetable to everything you cook. This might be controversial but you need fiber. And all sorts of other vitamins and minerals that things like kale and carrots and sweet potatoes have. My go to is canned chickpeas. A jar of marinara plus some canned chickpeas and kale is suddenly a hearty and filling topping for pasta that’s gonna satisfy me way more than just the pasta and sauce. And all I had to do was dump a can and a bag into the pot. That’s not a dish that really exists or has a recipe but it’s Sauce Based and I eat it a lot.

Keep some fortified cereal (most cereal is fortified by default) and trail mix on hand. Sometimes I get in a funk and order a lot of takeout or just eat a lot of carbs and not much else and then get woozy because I’m a little dumb and don’t eat a lot of animal products so all my Nutrients are low and that makes cooking harder. Fortified cereal and trail mix together will have most of the stuff you need to get rid of the lightheaded wooziness (iron and b12 and fats and sugar) in a dense little package that’s easy to munch on while cooking.

Finally, I know online recipes and Pinterest are great and wonderful but get proper cookbooks whenever you can. The first reason is that even with AdBlocker online recipes are a minefield and can be distracting and frustrating and overwhelming which are all things you don’t want when knives and hot pans are around. The second is that you will learn so much about cooking from a proper cookbook and the better you are at cooking the easier and faster it goes. ThriftBooks has plenty as will your local library or even older relatives. Ones like “Cook What You Have” by Christopher Kimball and “The New York Times Cooking No-Recipe Recipes” book and the classic “The Art of Simple Food” by Alice Waters are great.

Understanding FDA Guidance on Protein Claims: Demystifying "Excellent Source" and "Good Source"

Welcome to fitscientist! I'm a food scientist irl and I see a lot of misconceptions about packaging claims out there - I'm trying to be more active on my tumblr (instead of just reblogging/queuing pretty pictures - which obviously I will continue to do!!) and I'd like to share my expertise with you all so we're all more knowledgeable about food labeling, packaging, and more - especially as we are all on our fitness journies together :) The more you know!

Today, let's dive into the fascinating world of FDA guidance for protein claims. Yeah yeah, we all know protein is good for you, but when you look at a food label, do you really know what you're getting?

We often come across terms like "excellent source of protein" and "good source of protein" on food labels, but what do these claims really mean? Let's break it down:

1. Excellent Source of Protein: - According to the FDA, a food product can be labeled as an "excellent source of protein" if it provides 20% or more of the Daily Value (DV) for protein per serving. This means that consuming a serving of such a product can significantly contribute to meeting your protein needs for the day.

2. Good Source of Protein: - A food product can be labeled as a "good source of protein" if it provides 10-19% of the DV for protein per serving. While not as high as an excellent source, choosing foods labeled as good sources of protein can still contribute to your daily protein requirements.

It's important to note that these claims are based on the protein content per serving of the food product. Different products may have varying serving sizes, so it's crucial to check the serving size stated on the nutrition facts panel to accurately gauge the protein content you'll be consuming.

3. Daily Value (DV): - The DV is a standard reference set by the FDA, representing the recommended daily intake of a nutrient, including protein, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. For protein, the DV is set at 50 grams per day, which can vary depending on individual needs.

4. Consider Your Individual Needs: - It's important to remember that individual protein needs may differ based on factors like age, sex, activity level, and overall health. While these claims can help guide your choices, it's essential to assess your personal protein requirements in consultation with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian.

5. Protein Quality Matters: - While the FDA guidance focuses on the quantity of protein, it's equally important to consider the quality of the protein you consume. Complete proteins are those that contain all essential amino acids required for muscle repair and growth. Look for sources like lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, and plant-based complete proteins like quinoa and soy.

Remember, protein is a vital macronutrient necessary for several bodily functions, including muscle repair, satiety, and hormone regulation. By understanding the FDA's guidance, you can make informed choices to meet your daily protein needs. Remember to check the serving size and consider incorporating a variety of protein-rich foods into your diet for optimal health benefits. Stay nourished! <3
