Simple Changes To Your Nutrition That Will Make A Big Difference
Nutrition can be a confusing and overwhelming space.
Many people search for the "perfect" macronutrient split before they even understand the
foundational habits that will set them up for long-term success.
At Rebuild Health & Fitness, we see it all the time:
- Some clients feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available.
- Others think they’re mastering nutrition—but aren't seeing the progress they want.
There are many ways to nourish your body and meet your goals, but if your progress has stagnated—or if you don't know where to begin—start with the basics.
Foundational Habits to Build
This isn't about quick fixes.
It’s about
establishing healthy habits and
sticking with them.
Here are a few simple behaviors you can start implementing daily:
- Eat 1 to 2 pieces of fruit per day
➔ Fruit is packed with fiber, energy, and essential nutrients. - Have a serving of protein at each meal
➔ Protein supports muscle growth (muscle protein synthesis) and keeps you fuller longer. - Eat one meal without any distractions
➔ Sit down, savor the flavors, chew thoroughly, and be present with your food. - Eat slowly and mindfully
➔ Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Enjoy the process. - Eat vegetables with at least two meals per day
➔ Veggies provide crucial vitamins, minerals, and fiber. - Eat fish at least twice per week
➔ A great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids. - Drink 3L of fluids per day
➔ Prioritize water and electrolytes to stay hydrated and support body functions. - Consume 20–30g of fiber per day
➔ Fiber promotes gut health, satiety, and steady energy levels. - Have a protein shake each day
➔ A convenient way to meet your protein needs, especially around training. - Listen to the Rebuild Health & Fitness Podcast
➔ Stay educated, inspired, and connected to a supportive community.
The Truth About Progress
It might not sound sexy or exciting, but building consistent habits is what moves the needle.
If you're
not doing most of the basics listed above, jumping into advanced nutrition strategies will likely
feel overwhelming and
less effective.
Don’t overcomplicate nutrition.
✅ Start by doing the simple things right.
✅ Stick with them daily.
✅ Watch how far they take you.
Final Thought
Establishing strong nutrition habits may not deliver instant gratification, but it builds a solid foundation for a healthier, stronger, and more sustainable future.
Small, consistent actions lead to big, lasting changes.
