Ever wondered what a nutrition expert eats every day? In this episode, I'm sharing my top five daily foods and my personal food rules that help me stay on track. We'll dive into my favorite ways to prepare these foods quickly and easily, and I'll also touch on my thoughts about cheat meals. Whether you're looking for healthy meal ideas or trying to build better eating habits, this episode has got you covered. I'll start by discussing the importance of a food audit and the mantra I live by: eat protein first. Learn how to determine your protein needs using my handy online calculator and discover why it's crucial to get the right amount of protein in your diet. I'll also share my go-to sources of clean, lean protein along with some delicious preparation tips. But it's not all about protein. I'll explain how I incorporate non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats into my meals for balanced nutrition and optimal health. From cauliflower pilaf and shaved Brussels sprouts to antioxidant-rich berries and heart-healthy avocados, you'll get a peek into how I create nutrient-dense plates that satisfy and nourish. Join me for a detailed look at what a typical day of eating looks like for me, and pick up some practical tips to apply in your own kitchen!   FULL show notes: https://www.jjvirgin.com/dailyfoods 7-Day Eat Protein First Challenge: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst Use my Eat Protein First Calculator: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst ButcherBox grass-fed & grass-finished beef: https://butcherbox.pxf.io/jWYQqZ Flavorchef bone broth: https://affiliates.theflavorchef.com/121.html Living Ratio chocolate: https://livingratio.com/?sca_ref=2747593.vgty26M7uP&utm_source=2747593&utm_medium=jj-virgin&utm_campaign=4533 Vital Choice wild-caught seafood: https://vitalchoice.sjv.io/daKYGy Food Scale: https://amzn.to/3IBttvS Lakanto Monk Fruit: https://lakanto.sjv.io/c/2208035/1270804/15633 Timeline Mitopure (Urolithin A): https://www.timelinenutrition.com/partners/jj-virgin Reignite Wellness™ Plant-Based & Paleo-Inspired All-In-One Shakes: https://reignitewellness.com/collections/shakes RxSugar Allulose: https://rxsugar.com/?rfsn=7896896.603c03&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=7896896.603c03 Get 60 FREE delicious, protein-packed shake recipes in my Eat Protein First Smoothie Guide: https://jjvirgin.com/smoothie The Virgin Diet Cookbook: https://reignitewellness.com/products/the-virgin-diet-cookbook The Virgin Diet: https://reignitewellness.com/products/the-virgin-diet-paperback   Episode Sponsors:  Try Timeline: https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop?rfsn=7082975.4b75243 Use code JJ10 for 10% off all products Go to qualialife.com/VIRGINWELLNESS now to try Qualia Senolytic backed by a 100 day money back guarantee, and use promo code VIRGINWELLNESS to get 15% off!   Learn more about your ad choices.
