Cold nights call for warm, nourishing meals. This Chicken Chickpea Curry is packed with ingredients that don’t just taste great, they’ll help keep you feeling full and satisfied too.

Why we love it:
- Chicken provides high-quality protein to support muscle health and keep you fuller for longer.
- Chickpeas add fibre and plant protein to support gut health and steady energy.
- Spinach is an easy way to boost your veggie intake and provides iron, folate and vitamin K.
- Lite coconut milk creates a creamy curry without being overly heavy.
- Garlic, ginger and spices bring plenty of flavour, meaning you don’t need loads of salt to make this dish delicious.

One of the best things about this recipe? It freezes beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep or busy weeknights when you need dinner ready in minutes.

Save this recipe for your next cosy night in, and let us know if you give it a try!

We hear this more often than you’d think. While coffee can give you a temporary boost in alertness, it doesn’t provide the carbohydrates your muscles need to fuel longer training sessions.

Going into a workout under-fuelled can:
- Reduce energy and performance
- Limit strength, endurance and recovery
- Leave you feeling fatigued for the rest of the day
- Increase hunger later on, making it harder to meet your nutrition goals

The best pre-training snack or meal depends on your training type, duration, intensity, and individual goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re unsure how to fuel your training, our dietitians can help you develop a personalised nutrition plan to optimise your performance, recovery, and overall health. Book in today!

There’s a lot of noise online at the moment about eating one meal a day, let’s talk about why we don’t recommend it as dietitian’s.

While intermittent fasting can have a place for some people, one meal a day isn’t necessary for good health or sustainable weight loss. The best eating pattern is one that helps you meet your nutritional needs, fits your lifestyle, and is something you can maintain long term.

If you’re considering fasting or struggling to find an eating pattern that works for you, a dietitian can help you choose an approach that’s evidence-based and tailored to your goals.

A little round up from the boss.

What people think we do versus what we actually do.

One day is never truly the same, one day we are “playing” with kids, dogs and food, next day cooking it, next assessing muscle loss/decline with malnutrition screening, to prepping new recipes for our E-books (watch this space) and enjoying a tasty view from our admin location.

Nevaaaa the same. All in a days work.

With so much nutrition information online, it can be hard to know what to trust. While some advice shared on social media can be helpful, not all of it is evidence-based, and nutrition is rarely one-size-fits-all.

If nutrition advice sounds overly simple, very restrictive, or promises dramatic results, it’s worth taking a closer look before giving it a try. And if all the nutrition advice out there feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.

Booking an appointment with one of our dietitians can help you cut through the confusion and get personalised, evidence-based guidance that suits your lifestyle, goals, and health needs.

Claims that seed oils cause inflammation, obesity, or chronic disease have exploded online, but the evidence doesn’t support these claims in healthy humans.

Like most things in nutrition, it’s important to look beyond the headlines and focus on what high-quality research actually shows. One of our dietitian’s can help you distinguish fact from fiction, book an appointment today.

Feeding little ones can feel like a rollercoaster - one day they eat everything, the next day… barely anything! If mealtimes feel stressful, zoom out: looking at patterns over time is a lot more helpful than focusing on one tricky meal.

If you’re worried about your child’s eating, growth, or nutrition, a one of our dietitians can help guide you 💛 Book an appointment with our team for tailored advice.

Sports supplements aren’t magic. 👀

The reality:
👉 Most supplements are designed to supplement your diet, not replace healthy habits.
👉 They can help when there’s a specific need, deficiency, performance goal, or clinical indication.
👉 More isn’t always better.
👉 The basics still matter most.

For most people, you’ll get far more benefit from:
🥗 Eating a balanced diet
💪 Training consistently
😴 Getting enough sleep
💧 Staying hydrated
🧠 Managing stress

When it comes to sports supplements, not all products are backed by good evidence.

Some evidence-based supplements that may be beneficial in the right circumstances include:
☕ Caffeine
💪 Creatine
🧬 Amino acids
⚡ Magnesium

That doesn’t mean supplements are useless. Some can be incredibly beneficial when used appropriately and as part of an overall nutrition and training plan.

The key is knowing which supplements you need, whether you need them at all, when to take them, why you’re taking them, and how much is right for you.

Book a consult with one of our dietitians to discuss which supplements may be appropriate for your goals, including when to take them, why they may help, and the right dose for your individual needs.

Is sugar really the devil? 🍭👀

Not quite.

Sugar has become one of the most feared parts of nutrition online, but the reality is a lot more nuanced than the headlines suggest.

Yes, eating large amounts of added sugar regularly can impact health. But having sugar occasionally, enjoying dessert, or adding sugar to your coffee doesn’t automatically make your diet “bad”.

What matters most is the overall pattern of your eating:
✔️ Are you eating enough?
✔️ Are meals balanced?
✔️ Are you getting fibre, protein and variety?
✔️ Is your relationship with food sustainable?

Nutrition isn’t about fearing one ingredient. It’s about context, quantity and consistency over time.

You don’t need to cut sugar out completely to be healthy 💛

Fibre isn’t just about keeping you “regular” 💩

It plays a huge role in:
• Supporting gut health and feeding beneficial gut bacteria
• Helping you feel fuller for longer
• Supporting healthy cholesterol levels
• Assisting with blood sugar regulation
• Promoting long-term heart and metabolic health

Most Australians aren’t getting enough fibre — yet it’s found in so many everyday foods:
🥖 Wholegrains
🫘 Legumes
🍓 Fruit
🥦 Vegetables
🥜 Nuts & seeds

Aim to gradually increase fibre intake and don’t forget fluids too 💧

A healthy gut is about more than just digestion.
