Summary
Trying to eat healthier and lose weight while feeding a family can feel like an impossible math problem. You want progress, but you don’t want to cook two dinners every night. That tension is real, especially with kids, busy schedules, and wildly different calorie needs at the table. Since I don’t have kids, I brought on former client Amanda to talk about how she lost 30 lbs and 5 inches on her waist while feeding her two teenage kids! Topics Covered Component-style family meals Customizing portions without separate dinners Tracking food around family meals Feeding teenagers with high calorie needs Using leftovers across multiple meals Sauces and add-ons for flexibility Maintenance eating after weight loss Learn about 1-1 online nutrition coaching to get the support and accountability you need to reach your goals without feeling overwhelmed or spending all your time in the kitchen (or the gym!)
