    How to eat more vegetables

    January 6, 2021 /

    According to the Australian Dietary Guidelines, adults should eat about 5 serves of vegetables for good health (1). However, only 7.5% of the adult population manage to meet their recommended target (2). Part of the problem is that some people don’t like vegetables, but it’s also true that many people don’t know how to eat more vegetables. How many serves of vegetables For most of the population from the age of 9, the recommended number of serves is around 5 serves per day. This varies based on gender (males need more) and life stage (pregnant and lactating women need more). Likewise, more active individuals, such as athletes, need more. The…

    Energy density vs nutrient density

    November 18, 2020 /

    When assessing whether a particular food is beneficial for you or not, energy density vs nutrient density is an important consideration to make. In general, you should seek out nutrient density for health. Energy density Density is a physical property of matter that describes the relationship between mass and volume (density = mass / volume). However, when talking about energy density, we refer to energy (kilocalories or kilojoules) / volume. Therefore, energy dense foods are those that pack a lot of energy in a small volume. Energy dense foods are often high in fat (because fat is the macronutrient with the most energy per gram: 9 kilocalories or 37 kilojoules)…

    Book review: The Ethical Omnivore (Laura Dalrymple and Grant Hilliard)

    November 5, 2020 /

    The Ethical Omnivore is a remarkable book by the owners of Feather and Bone, a butchery in Marrickville, Sydney’s Inner West. I have been a customer since 2012, when I found them through a Google search in my infinite quest for ethically raised and slaughtered meat. The authors Laura Dalrymple and Grant Hilliard are the owners of Feather and Bone. We can say they accidentally stumbled upon butchery as their previous professional lives were on the creative side of things. Every single interaction I’ve had with Laura and Grant has been warm, friendly and informative. They are genuinely nice people and truly care about their craft. The Ethical Omnivore This…

    Recipe: Roasted fennel and lentil salad with radishes and citrusy dressing

    September 12, 2020 /

    Roasted fennel and lentil salad with radishes and citrusy dressing is a great dish for lunch or dinner. Its protein and fibre content will satisfy your appetite without packing on too much energy. This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free and can be made vegan by omitting the eggs. Just make sure you are having enough protein in your day. This salad is also a great source of fibre. Lentils contain haem (plant-based) iron, which is less bioavailable than haem (animal-based) iron. Its absorption is enhanced if you have vitamin C or haem iron in the same meal, hence the lemon juice in the dressing. Other citrus options such as orange…

    Recipe: Warm roasted Brussel sprouts and baby beetroot salad

    August 8, 2020 /

    Warm roasted Brussel sprouts and baby beetroot salad is a great way to have vegetables in your first meal of the day. It is great for brunch but you can also eat if for lunch or dinner. This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free. I use great quality pastured bacon from Feather and Bone but you can omit it if you don’t eat pork. Other sources of extra protein that would work well are leftover chicken, canned or cooked lentils or chickpeas. I like a sprinkle of dukkah (a Middle Eastern mix of nuts/seeds, herbs and spices) but feel free to substitute your favourite flavour/crunch toppings or omit completely. Salt and…
