287 // Q&A: HIGH PROTEIN FOODS + HOW TO NAVIGATE NEGATIVE FOOD COMMENTS

·40 min·4 clips

Learn the simple hack to spot high-protein foods by removing a zero from the calorie count.

The episode begins with a casual conversation between host Nicole Hagen and guest Coach Lauren about their personal lives, including parenting and summer routines. They transition into answering listener-submitted questions, starting with a query about a viral high-protein hack. The hack involves removing the last digit from total calories on a nutrition label and comparing it to grams of protein to determine if a food is high in protein. Nicole and Lauren endorse this method as a simple tool for consumers, critiquing misleading marketing on products like RX bars. Next, they address how to handle situations where friends make negative comments about their own food choices, advising to redirect the conversation unless someone explicitly seeks advice. Lauren suggests asking questions to understand the root of guilt if a deeper discussion is warranted. The coaches then share their one piece of nutrition advice for women: Lauren focuses on the importance of sitting with discomfort during habit change, while Nicole emphasizes adding protein and fiber instead of restrictive dieting. They illustrate this with anecdotes, such as a mom choosing ice cream to connect with her daughter and a client maintaining progress without special foods during a family visit. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to seek coaching and submit questions for future episodes.
