Sticky Notes from your Nutrition Therapist by Amy Jaffe MS RD LD

GAME, SET, SNACK: What I Pack for a Day at the Office!
🎾 Inspired by one of my favoriteTennis Channel segments — where professional tennis players show what’s inside their tennis bags — I thought I’d do my own version:

🍴 What’s in my lunch bag for a full day at the office.

As an avid tennis fan and player, I love seeing how athletes prepare for long days on court. And as a nutritionist, I know that work days need preparation too.

For me, packing food isn’t about making perfect choices. It’s about making sure I have enough, including foods that are satisfying, practical, and nourishing — so I’m not trying to make food decisions when I’m already busy and sometimes distracted. Having the food you want to eat readily available is a game changer!

🔸This is real-life gentle nutrition: planned, flexible, and enjoyable.

EAT. PAUSE. LISTEN.
We spend time planning what to eat,
but how often do we check in while we’re eating?

and I are talking about why the PAUSE is an important part of any meal.
Our bodies are always talking to us about hunger, fullness, and what we truly need—we just have to slow down enough to hear the truth.

Save this post to remind yourself to take a "power pause" during your next meal! 🚩

ALL. FOODS. FIT !
2 Amys Walk into aPizza Joint... 😅

I had lunch wiht my colleague, Amy Zogran, RD (Regional Outreach Director for Monte Nido , to discuss why pizza is actually doing more for us than we think.
The breakdown:
🔹 Complex Carbs: The crust provides the primary fuel souces your brain literally craves to function.
🔹 Protein: Shrimp and dairy to keep you satisfied.
🔹 Veggies: Arugula and tomatoes provides micronutrients.
Food is about connection, culture and nourishment in every sense.
Because honestly?
All. Foods. Fit 🩵💙
