Does anyone else get tired of figuring out what to eat every single day?

The planning, shopping, cooking, and inevitable “What's for dinner?” can feel like another full-time job.

Even as a dietitian, I experience meal planning overwhelm!

Here's your reminder that nourishing yourself doesn't have to be complicated.

Frozen meals count. Takeout counts. Eating the same breakfast every day is perfectly fine.

Sometimes taking care of yourself means making things easier, not adding more to your plate.

What's one thing you do to make feeding yourself or your family easier?

I shared more thoughts on the mental load of food in my latest post. 💛

The mental load of feeding ourselves—and why making it easier matters.

Your body is changing in midlife. Does that mean you need to change everything about how you eat?

Not necessarily.

There’s so much messaging telling women in their 40s and 50s to eat less, cut carbs, fast longer, and work harder to prevent their bodies from changing.

But nutrition in midlife doesn’t have to be about restriction.

It’s about supporting your body through real physiological changes—including changes in muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, and body composition.

And that means shifting the focus from what you need to eliminate to what you can ADD.

More consistent nourishment.
More protein and fiber.
More foods that support your heart and bones.
More strength.
More flexibility around food.

You can care about your health without turning eating into another full-time job.

Nutrition matters. And your relationship with food matters, too.

My latest blog explores how to nourish your body during perimenopause and menopause without falling into another set of restrictive food rules.

Midlife can bring changes to your body that you weren’t expecting—and it’s easy to feel like you need to “fix” them.

But what if, instead of asking “How do I get my old body back?” you asked, “What does my body need from me now?”

💗 I’d love to support you in navigating food, nutrition, and body image through this stage of life.

“I just want to have a healthy relationship with food.”

This is one of the most common things I hear from new clients.

But when I ask what that actually means, most people aren’t sure.

They know they want to stop:
• Feeling guilty after eating
• Thinking about food all the time
• Labeling foods as “good” or “bad”
• Starting over every Monday

But they haven’t been shown what they’re working toward.

A healthy relationship with food isn’t about eating perfectly. It’s about building trust in your body—one choice at a time.

These 8 signs aren’t about doing everything perfectly. They’re meant to help you shift away from food rules and toward more trust, flexibility, and freedom with food.

💛 Which of these feels easiest for you right now? Which one feels most challenging? I’d love to hear in the comments.

👉 Want to dive deeper? I explore each of these signs in my newest blog post. https://rhondakrick.com/2026/07/20/how-to-have-a-healthy-relationship-with-food/

Protein is everywhere right now.

Protein cereal. Protein chips. Protein cookies. Protein coffee. Even protein water.

As a dietitian, I absolutely think protein is important. But lately I’ve been wondering: when did every bite become an opportunity to optimize?

My latest post explores the current protein obsession, why it’s happening, and what we might be losing when we focus on one nutrient above everything else.

Have you noticed the protein trend too?

The protein obsession is everywhere. A dietitian explains why protein matters and why healthy eating is about more than maximizing protein.

Mother’s Day can bring up a lot around food, bodies, and the messages we inherited growing up.

Many of us learned food rules long before we could question them: “Sugar is bad.” “Don’t eat too much.” “Watch your weight.” “Good girls have self-control.”

And even when we know better intellectually, those messages can still shape how we feel about eating, our bodies, and ourselves.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is helping people untangle those inherited beliefs — and for many parents, choosing not to pass them down to their own children.

I wrote about this in my latest post: Food Rules From Childhood and How to Break Them

If you’ve ever felt guilt around eating, fear around certain foods, or anxiety about your body, this one may resonate. ❤️

Learn how food rules from childhood shape your relationship with food—and how to break generational patterns with a non-diet approach.

You've probably been told to control your portions to lose weight or get healthier. But for a lot of people, it's actually making things harder.

When your body isn't getting enough food, it fights back - more hunger, more food thoughts, stronger urges to eat. That's biology, not a lack of discipline.

The "eat less" approach can create the very cycle you're trying to break.

I wrote about why this happens- and what to focus on instead.

Why portion control doesn’t work: it can lead to overeating and disconnection from your body. Learn a more sustainable, intuitive approach.

One thing people don’t talk about very much is how much time they spend thinking about food.

It’s something I hear from clients all the time.

Many people feel embarrassed by it or assume it means they lack willpower. But very often, it’s a natural response to not eating enough, years of dieting, or a history of disordered eating.

When the body isn’t getting what it needs, food can start to take up a lot of mental space.

I wrote a new blog post about why this happens and how people can begin to experience more ease and freedom around food again.

Read it here, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

For years, many people believe their body is the problem.

But what if the body resisting weight loss is actually a sign it’s working exactly as designed?

I wrote about what happens biologically after years of dieting and why weight loss often becomes harder over time.

Read the full post here:

For many people, the story of trying to lose weight doesn’t begin last month or even last year. It often begins decades earlier. Over time, people try many different approaches: cutting calories, eliminating certain foods, tracking macros, joining programs, or starting new exercise routines. Each ...
