Most nutrition advice addresses one of two categories: Category 1: QUALITY of food This is the kind and variety of food you choose to eat at home, restaurants, and social events. You're interested in each foods: Nutrient Density - How many nutrients are in the food? Protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, etc. Calorie Density - How many bites do you get per 100 calories? Food Sourcing/Processing - Where did it come from, what did they do to it, and what are the farming practices? Are there additives, preservatives, pesticides? Is the food in season and available locally? The simple answer: A majority of your food should come from a variety of whole foods, including when you're eating at restaurants and social events. Some junk is okay, but don't overdo it. Category 2: QUANTITY and FREQUENCY of eating Meal Size - How many calories and grams of protein do you consume at each meal? Snacks vs. full meals? Does it change based on whether you're at home, at social events, or restaurants? What about when you're traveling? Meal Frequency - How many times do you eat throughout the day? Is it a regular or irregular schedule? Daily Intake - How many calories do you eat per day? How much protein do you eat per day? Does it match your weight change goal? AKA eating less than you need to lose fat. The simple answer: Track your food intake for a while to understand how many calories are in each food and how much you tend to intake in different settings (at home, restaurants, and social events). Plan the size and timing of your meals. Use bodyweight changes as feedback for whether it's enough (or too much) for you. --- You must address both for your best health. But which one do you start with? Whichever is most reasonable for you? Or if you prefer, which one is causing the biggest problem? Rest assured, you can't go wrong, because affecting one will affect the other. Eat better foods? ➝ You tend to eat less quantity because you're fuller and more satisfied. Eat less food? ➝ You tend to pick more filling options. Less junk, more protein, more whole foods. Food QUALITY is about changing grocery store behavior, cooking behavior, and choices at restaurants & social events. Food QUANTITY is about becoming aware of the amount of food you eat on a per meal and daily basis. It's about learning to stop eating even when you want to keep going. Either one is a step in the right direction.

Despite the challenges of the last three years, there are commercial and economic opportunities presented by the plant-based sector as does the environmental, health and societal imperative to diversify our protein supply with more familiar and convenient alternatives. This report provides quite a detailed in-depth explanation of the plant based sector in Australia in both retail and foodservice. The Australian foodservice sector presents the most immediate opportunity for plant-based meat manufacturers to continue to grow in coming years. Wiith relatively small penetration of plant- based meat in just a few segments of the foodservice category, such as in QSRs and fast casual outlets, a large share of the foodservice market remains untapped for the plant-based meat industry with the potential to generate sustained and long-term growth across the next decade. Thanks to the team Food Frontier for this detailed analysis of the Australian market. https://lnkd.in/ggQ9r4Rb FoodFrontier-2023-State-of-the-Industry-report

Some light reading to start the week! Great article on revyve (I’m only slightly biased🤓) on Cultivated X and vegconomist - the vegan business magazine I often get asked if revyve’s yeast ingredients are #biomass_fermentation or #precision_fermentation. The answer is neither! We use a simple but revolutionary new downstream processing approach to turn existing yeast biomass into highly functional texturizing ingredients. Why? 🚀unmatched functionality (to replace egg ingredients or additives) 🚀label friendly (yeast is a well known super ingredient) 🚀price competitive (our focus allowed us to scale lightning fast and be in market and at price parity) Looking for ingredients that deliver #A_New_World_of_Texture?
