Just a quick reminder from Woman-in-Charge Molly Galbraith that: ⁠ ⁠ 🏃🏼‍♀️ you don't have to "earn" your food with exercise⁠ 🍕 food isn't a "reward" for working out⁠
Online Nutrition and Fitness Coaching for Women | Girls Gone Strong
We — especially women — have been conditioned into believing that we must “earn” our meals, and if we don’t, we don’t get to have them.⁠ ⁠ We call BS. ⁠ Food is not a reward for doing something. There are no “good” or “bad” foods, and you’re not “good” or “bad” for eating them.⁠ ⁠ Food choices are nothing more or less than personal preference, and your self-worth is NOT inherently tied to your choices.⁠ ⁠ So in case you needed to hear it today, we’ll say it again:⁠ ⁠ You are allowed to eat.

12 Signs You're Undereating
Sound familiar?⁠ ⁠ Women should eat <1200 cals/day⁠ If you want to see results, you have to cut out carbs, sugar, & dairy⁠ Working out more isn’t enough — you need to drop your cals, too⁠ ⁠ Messages like this tell us to eat as little as possible and glorify diet culture. It’s no wonder many women lose a sense of what “enough” food really is.⁠ ⁠ This perspective can hinder progress - regardless of whether the goal is strength gain, muscle gain, fat loss, and overall health.⁠ #GirlsGoneStrong
YOU DO NOT NEED TO JUSTIFY YOUR PERIOD SNACKS
Estradiol (estrogen) can significantly influence the amount of calories you eat.⁠ ⁠ When you’re NOT menstruating, estradiol decreases your stomach’s “I’m hungry” hormone, meaning you eat less food.⁠ ⁠ During the luteal phase of menstruation when estradiol is lower, some studies found that women eat 240 more cals per day (on average) compared to during the follicular phase.⁠ ⁠ The next time you’re snacking, say it with us:⁠ ⁠ I do not need to justify my period snacks. ⁠ PERIOD. #GirlsGoneStrong
