347. What Constitutes a “Splurge” In Your Nutrition Plan?


Listen Later

When you start changing your nutrition habits and shifting the way you eat, one of the biggest challenges can be figuring out when and how to splurge responsibly. You don’t want to get off track, but you also want some fun mixed in with all the nutritious food you’re eating.

Listener Corie has this same question: “Hey Megan, my question is in response to one of your recent Friday episodes about splurges. In that episode you recommended following a 90/10 rule when it comes to your meals. So if I eat three meals a day, I'm figuring that about two of my meals per week might be eligible for a splurge. But my question is what is considered a splurge? Is the splurge the entire meal - like pizza for dinner? Or is the splurge more like having a slice of french toast with my scrambled egg and veggie breakfast? I'm hoping you can help me figure out what exactly constitutes splurge and how to incorporate them. Thanks!”

In this shortie episode, I talk about the 90/10 rule and how that looks in real life. Then we’ll dive into splurges - what are they, how they fit into your healthy-eating plan, and how to make the most of them!

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
