Show Notes
Moms, feeding our kids can feel like a full-time job and just when we think we’ve got it figured out, the rules change.
With the government rolling out an updated food pyramid, it’s no wonder we’re curious about what actually matters.
We’ve got you! Registered dietitian Stefani Sassos joins us for the key takeaways on the latest guidelines and all the food hacks to keep mealtime manageable.
A mom of two and Nutrition & Fitness Director at “Good Housekeeping,” Stefani’s motto is “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” We’ll take it!
In this episode, we cover:
*what the new food pyramid gets right—and where protein (and red meat) really fit
*exactly how to read labels, including how much added sugar is too much
*why fiber is the unsung hero for digestion, cancer prevention, and long-term health
*why frozen veggies are a mealtime MVP for both nutrition and your wallet
*how to stay away from clever marketing and stick with whole foods when snacking
