KC & The Sunshine Squad

🎃 Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean Pumpkin Season is over!

Flapjack & I both LOVE pumpkin.

Did you know it’s a great source of Fiber, Vitamin A, & Antioxidants?

Beneficial for both humans & pups!

The fiber in pumpkin is a beneficial PREbiotic that can support healthy gut bacteria!

Per 1 cup of Pumpkin
There’s ~6 grams of fiber

A good goal for daily fiber intake is 12-14g per 1000 calories consumed.

Do you know how much fiber you’re consuming daily?

Thursday Take-Out!

Brunch with a girlfriend and this was AMAZING!!

Eggs Benedict w/ Smoked Salmon
Potato Fingers
Roasted Veggies
White Sangria

I’m a huge fan of Eggs Benedict! And smoked salmon just takes it up a whole notch 😻😻

My Tip: Order sauces on the side so you have control over how much goes in your meal!

Have a meal you want to figure out how to log in your nutrition?
Send me a message and I’d be happy to help!

Look good, feel good! 🥰

I love a good matching gym set 😍

As insignificant as it may seem, it motivates me to get my butt in the gym and crush a workout! 💪

My favorite training shorts
- high waist
- pockets big enough for a phone
- no front seam
- smooth dri-fit texture

And in this most beautiful lavender color 🥺💜

Do you have a favorite workout outfit?!

Thursday Take-Out!

Did you know most chain restaurants have their nutrition information online?

Some have them on the website, PDFs, or even meal builders!

Pokeworks has a great PDF of nutrition information that you can use regardless of where you get a Poké bowl!!

I ordered a bowl with 3 scoops of protein and assumed 2oz per scoop!
Here’s how I made assumptions for the items in my bowl and what the end result macros where.

If you are on-the-go or travel & eat out often - it’s really beneficial to understand how to track you meals out!
