What I eat for hormone balance!

High protein recipes for hormone balance👇🏻

Never compare yourself to my day of eating because we all have different caloric needs. I always share this for recipe inspo so you have options to choose from throughout the week! I aim to get in 100+ g of protein every single day (ideally you want to aim for 1g/lb of your ideal body weight) and I live an 80/20 lifestyle so I prioritize eating 80% real whole foods and leave the other 20% open for whatever I’d like! Do what makes you feel best at the end of the day 🙌🏻

Egg bites and the lamb/beef protein bowl recipes are posted to the follicular phase highlight

... Read moreMaintaining hormone balance through diet is crucial for overall health and well-being. Protein intake plays a significant role in hormone regulation, supporting metabolism and muscle maintenance. It's recommended to include a variety of protein sources such as lean meats, legumes, and dairy in your meals. The follicular phase of the menstrual cycle is an optimal time to focus on nutrition, as hormonal fluctuations can impact energy levels and mood. High-protein dishes like egg bites, turkey bowls, and flavorful sauces not only provide essential nutrients but also satisfy cravings. Incorporating whole foods and minimizing processed ingredients can further enhance your hormone health. Additionally, experimenting with spices like ginger and incorporating healthy fats from sources like avocado and nuts can support hormonal function. Remember, consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist to tailor your diet to your specific needs and goals. Following trends like meal prepping can save time while ensuring that your meals are balanced and nutritious.
