“Calculating your daily calorie intake is more necessary today than ever before.”

Should you count calories? Well, I’m usually NOT a supporter of it. Why? Because people often get way too hung up on the numbers. And calories are just one small piece of the nutrition puzzle.

Instead I’m all about intuitive eating, which is eating foods that sound good when you’re hungry. Though I do still suggest reaching for nutritious foods first and making them the majority of what you eat. Intuitive eating allows you to be more mindful of how you’re feeling and what you’re craving, and discourages the intensive tracking that comes with dieting.

But sometimes it’s good to have a check-in and make sure your habits are on the right track. Because you may eat healthy the majority of the time, but your intuitively eaten half pint of ice cream every night could be sabotaging your health goals.

I can’t believe I’ve taken so long to write this post.

If this is your first time on Content With Coffee, you can probably tell by the giant header above: this is not a blog about coffee.

It’s a blog about health and wellness with a little tribute to coffee because it’s part of my everyday self-care routine. Health and wellness means appreciating the little things in life that make us happy. Coffee does that for me, as well as millions of other people all around the world every day.

“It’s not been easy to find a healthy one of these, but after scouring the stores I finally did find it!”

Today I’m deviating from my normal stance of eating only whole foods. Okay, well I never said to eat only whole foods. That would be highly impractical and virtually impossible for all of us to put into practice.

While I still stand behind the idea that eating natural, unprocessed foods is one of the healthiest things we can do for our bodies, I get that we can’t do that all the time. We have appointments to make, meetings to attend, and other responsibilities that pull us away from the kitchen. To expect everyone to make all their food from scratch all the time is ridiculous.

So I’ve been on a mission to find healthy, store-bought sauces that I feel I can stand behind.
