EPISODE 05:

What Should I Actually Eat?

Protein, fibre, carbs, fats, calories. There's a lot of nutrition advice out there, and sometimes it feels like the recommendations change every six minutes.


Join Erin and Ashley for a practical conversation about what we eat, what our bodies need, and how to make nutrition work in real life.

Trying to Figure Out What to Eat Can Feel Like a Full-Time Job


Should you be eating more protein? Are you getting enough fibre? Do you need to track your calories? And why does everyone on Instagram seem to have a different answer?


Maybe you're trying to support your muscle mass, work toward body composition goals, or simply feel better throughout the day. You want to make good choices, but between conflicting advice, busy schedules, and feeding everyone else, figuring out what works can feel overwhelming.


For this episode of Couch Chats, we're getting into the practical side of nutrition.

We'll break down the basics, talk about how we approach food in our own lives, and explore how to make nutrition recommendations work for you, without feeling like you need to measure, track, or optimize every bite.


Because there's a difference between knowing what a balanced diet looks like and figuring out how to make it happen on a Tuesday.

Chat Topics:

Protein: How much do you need, and how can you get enough without making every meal a protein-maximizing exercise?
Fibre: Why it matters, how much to aim for, and practical ways to get more into your day.
Carbs and fats: What they contribute to your diet and why you don't need to fear either one.
Eating for your goals: How to think about nutrition when you're interested in body composition, muscle health, or feeling more satisfied after meals.
What we eat in a day: We'll share some of our own strategies, talk about what works for us, and explain why someone else's routine isn't necessarily the right fit for you.
Making it work in real life: From busy workdays to family dinners, we'll talk about getting the nutrition you need when life doesn't go exactly to plan.

What You'll Walk Away With:


Our goal is for you to feel more confident making decisions about what to eat, rather than feeling like you need to follow another set of rules.


You'll leave with a better understanding of:

How protein, fibre, carbohydrates, and fats fit into a balanced diet.
Some practical protein and fibre targets to consider for your own needs.
How to build meals that help you feel satisfied and support your goals.
Simple ways to improve your nutrition without overhauling your entire routine.
How to take inspiration from other people's food choices without feeling like you need to eat exactly as they do.


Most importantly, we want you to feel like nutrition is something you can work with, not another thing you're getting wrong.
