Kitchen Tricks

Simple things to make cooking easier.

I have compiled a few of my favourite kitchen tricks for you. Hopefully they make your life in the kitchen easier and more fun, while at the same time increasing your meal prep efficiency. As much as I love cooking, I also want the task at hand done without losing too much time. Hopefully these little tricks will help you too with saving time (and often money too)!

Roasted Veggies – Easy And Healthy

A mothership recipe for easy meal prepping.

Many people struggle with preparing enough food in order to always have something healthy in their fridge. If you just have to put some food on a plate and microwave it, you will be much less inclined to buy junk food after a long and strenous working day. Therefore we created this mothership recipe and it is as simple as it sounds: roasted vegetables! To be honest, it’s not even a real recipe, it’s just a guideline. But that doesn’t make it any less valuable!

The Fate of Macronutrients

A very simplified version of metabolism

Did you already read my first post about macros? If not, please do! In this post I will give you a very simplified insight what happens to the macronutrients in the body. I think this is necessary because there is still a lot of quackery around, demonizing macronutrients (like carbs) for some reason. Having some tools to understand what is behind metabolism may help get immune to it. If you do not want to read the whole article, here the spoiler: no matter if you are eating low carb, low fat or whatsoever, if you are in a calorie surplus, the body will start to store fat. If you want to know the why, read further.

Getting The Best Bang For Your Buck

So, you decided to invest some money into getting a coach to help you with your fitness journey. Thats a great idea, but many people think that this is everything they need to do. But even the best trainer can not force you to go to the gym. Or watch everything you put into your mouth. Or do your cardio for you. So it’s all about you!

Macronutrients

The major building blocks of food

The three major components of food are called macronutrients (“macros” for the pros) and they are: carbohydrates, fats and protein. What lies behind those terms? What are they exactly and where do we get them from? I will introduce them to you and later dedicate a separate blog post to each one of them. Now dear macros, the stage is yours!

Online Coaching – Pros and Cons

What online coaching can do for you and where it’s limitations are.

This article is for everybody, who is still uncertain, if online coaching is a good choice for her/him. If this is the case, please read this carefully and consider all the pros and cons before making a decision. Online coaching isn’t for everybody and we don’t want to talk you into it, if it isn’t the best solution for you!

Incredibly Easy Cheesecake

The three ingredient gluten-free cheesecake.

No matter if I am cutting or bulking, I have this cheesecake every single day for breakfast, adding some milk kefir, skyr or fruits depending on the needs. Isn’t that awesome? If it fits my macros (I am 160cm petite), it should also fit in yours 😉
