Over the years, I’ve created hundreds - maybe even thousands - of recipes for Carrots ‘N’ Cake. Of course, some were more popular than others, so I wanted to take the opportunity to share only the best of the best! These are the top CNC recipes to date (with their macro breakdown per serving). I hope you enjoy them - and please let me know what you think if you try them!

Over the years, a number of Carrots 'N' Cake blog posts have risen to the top with regard to their popularity, so I wanted to take a little trip down memory lane and share some of the most visited posts to date. (The top recipes are coming soon!)

I hope you enjoy these posts, and please feel free to reply to this message and let me know which one(s) is your favorite! 

10 Tips for Balancing Exercise with a New Baby – Getting back to your fitness routine is definitely a struggle after having a baby. I like to think this post has helped some new moms!

How to Balance CrossFit and Running – This is one of the most common questions I receive from followers (and it’s no easy feat), so I wrote a post about my experience balancing both sports.  

One-Pan Back-to-School Dinners - This recipe round-up shares some of our family’s favorite one-pan weeknight dinners that can be thrown together quickly and effortlessly.

The Best Sports Bras for Nursing Moms - I know it’s been a little awhile since I nursed Quinn, but these sports bras continue to be some of my favorites (particularly for running), which means they definitely have some longevity when it comes to my exercise wardrobe. They’re also great for busty women!

How I Beat My Sugar Addiction – Sugar was such a struggle for me, and I was really honest about my experience. I hope these tips help! Additionally, check out this FREE 7-Day Sugar-Free Meal Plan to get you on track! 

How 3 Months of CrossFit Changed My Body – People love a good transformation story! This post was published during the height of CrossFit, and it’s still one of my most popular blog posts! More recently, I switched up my training and saw some serious body composition changes - another reason why the scale doesn't tell the whole story! 

How I Trained For The Boston Marathon Running 3 Days Per Week -  Running 26.2 miles was obviously a challenge for me, especially as a brand new mom. I made the most of my time and trained for the best race of my life only running three days per week.

In addition to sharing my life on Carrots 'N' Cake, I also love working with nutrition clients to help them achieve their weight loss, fitness, and health goals. 

I believe in the 80/20 mentality and implement it when it comes to tracking my macros: Eating wholesome foods for 80% of the time, while enjoying my favorite treats for 20% of the time. Having your carrots and cake, too! 



Macro-counting is truly aligned with my eating philosophy and balancing food choices, so I use this tool to help clients learn about food, so they can make better choices for themselves. 

If you’re curious to learn more, head over to my Macro Coaching Plans & Pricing options to learn more. And, of course, if you have a specific question, please don’t hesitate to reach out - simply reply to this email and we’ll chat!

Becoming a mother has been one of the most rewarding and joy-filled experiences of my life. There is nothing that gives me more happiness than the privilege of watching Quinn grow into a smart, curious, and hilarious little boy. I love him to the moon and back times infinity!

But every once in a while, I have one of “those days” where it seems like everything just, well… sucks. I think every mom knows exactly what I’m talking about – being a mom is not easy. It’s a journey filled with plenty of rough and bumpy spots along the road, and I’ve shared a number of them on CNC over the years. If you’re a mom, I hope they resonate with you and provide you with some support.

When clients come to me, they often tell me that they’ve tried so many different diets, but none of them have "stuck" for more than a few weeks because they lose motivation. Often times, they know "what to do" when it comes to their diet, but they always end up falling into old habits. 

I totally get this, and I too have fallen "off the wagon" and vowed to get "back on track" one million times in the past - only to end up right back where I started.

I remember trying the Atkins diet when I was desperate to lose weight. I remember eating entire blocks of cheese and deli meat for 2 weeks straight, thinking it was some magic way to weight loss. I ended up feeling terrible, giving up, and gaining back all of the (water) weight I had lost. 

A lot of people think they just need to find more nutrition information by scouring the internet for the perfect diet. They keep program jumping and try the latest diet (i.e. Keto, carb cycling, intermittent fasting) until they find the solution.

But that doesn’t actually work. Diets just make us crazier and more frustrated. Most of us continue to do this over and over again, but here’s why it doesn’t work: They force us to follow someone else’s plan without checking in with our own bodies. We think we’re supposed to adhere to the diet perfectly to see results, and that’s just not the case. 

 So, why should you track macros?

• It helps you figure out how much food is appropriate for your activity level
• It helps you find “food freedom” so you can stop feeling guilty about your choices
• It provides you with a framework for your diet instead of feeling like you have no control
• It helps you ditch the idea that restrictive diets are the only way for you to lose weight
• It sets a plan in motion since you have achievable goals to aim for each day
• It keeps you accountable and moving forward with a daily reminder of your goals

One thing I’ve learned through years of tracking macros is that REAL, LONG-LASTING results requires time (and patience). This is actually my main motivation for shifting all of my coaching programs to longer 3 and 6-month options.

My new 1:1 coaching option is for individuals who are ready to make a lifestyle change and fully immerse themselves in the program. Clients will work up close and personal with me and learn how to apply a macro-based approach to their diet in order to achieve long-lasting results. 

But (!!!) macros are just the tip of the iceberg with regard to the work that we will do together. Each month, we’ll have phone calls to establish lifestyle goals for the month, and we’ll keep in touch via voice messaging to answer any questions you might have and brainstorm solutions to support you all along the way. Potential clients must be ready to take action and willing to devote time and space to this process. 

Registration is only open for this week through Friday, 12/20, and I’m only accepting a limited number of new clients for a January start date. If you’re interested in learning more about my coaching options, click here for 1:1 coaching package details. 

Just a reminder: My pricing will increase after the new year. If you want to lock in the lowest rates and you’re ready to make a change in 2020, you can sign up here.

If you have any questions, just hit reply. I’m more than happy to chat! 

Tina 

Rachel was one of my first 1:1 nutrition coaching clients. Years later, we continue to keep in touch, and I've loved watching her progress with body composition and mindset.  



Rachel recently shared her coaching experience in the video testimonial below. 

"Tina was a perfect coach for me because she truly lives by the name of her blog, Carrots ‘N’ Cake. She eats healthy, and she enjoys eating healthy food, but she also enjoys treats - and that's the type of person I am, too. 

I knew that when I started this whole process, I wasn't going to cut out alcohol or chocolate because those are things I knew I was going to go back to. Tina taught me invaluable skills for planning for these splurges. If I knew I was going to go out for ice cream at night, I’d save some carbs for later in the day and eat protein-heavy foods and vegetables earlier in the day to balance my choices. 

I have really developed a wonderful relationship with Tina and look at her one of my close friends and continue to check in with her about my progress.

Her program is amazing. I would highly recommend Tina’s one-on-one macro coaching to anybody who's looking to make a change and invest in themselves. 

When you are looking for a macro coach, you want that they're going to invest time in you. I truly felt like Tina cared about my progress. I'm super happy that I worked with her and would highly recommend her and her macro plans for anybody that is looking to make a change. She will give you all the resources and tools that you need to succeed."

Alicia embraced macros as a lifestyle tool, not just another diet. 

Alicia is the mom of 2 little girls and works full-time. She came to me after feeling frustrated with her weight loss progress, despite her efforts in the gym. 

“I started tracking macros when I wasn’t feeling my best. My progress was lacking despite my efforts in the gym; I needed to revamp my nutrition. 

The best thing about the 1:1 coaching was the accountability. Hands down, it was the best thing for me. I needed someone to check in and see how I was doing. I needed someone to keep me accountable until I was accountable to myself. 

In the first 90 days, I saw some amazing results, and it was great to attain those, but the best thing was the fact that I’ve maintained those results for 10.5 months now. I was stricter in the beginning, but, lately, I’m just eyeballing things. It’s really a lifestyle for me now. 

It’s been a great experience working with Tina. I’d highly recommend her to anyone else. I certainly learned a lot about myself, a lot about counting macros, staying consistent, and how to make it a lifestyle instead of a fad diet that gets boring after a while. 

Macros are definitely something busy people can obtain and customize to your lifestyle. I can’t speak more highly about the program. I’ve had great success, and I hope you do too!” 
 

[ALICIA'S VIDEO TESTIMONIAL]

When you strap in for the long haul, it’s much easier to create an eating strategy that works for you. Like Alicia, if you have patience with the process, you’ll be able to uncover the things that are most important to you when it comes to your personal preferences, unique metabolism, and lifestyle habits. Macros aren’t a quick fix, but instead a complete lifestyle change that leads to sustainable and long-lasting results. 

I only have a limited number of coaching spots open for the new year, so if you’re interested, please click here to sign up.

One of the most common questions that I get from nutrition clients is “how do I get more protein into my diet?”

Consuming enough protein is so important - it keeps you satisfied, your blood sugar more steady, cravings at bay, and helps you better recover from your workouts. Clients are often looking for tips on how to include more protein in their meals and snacks, so here are some tips as well as my favorite high-protein recipes and products to help you hit your daily goal!

TIPS FOR HITTING YOUR DAILY PROTEIN GOAL

Plan your day ahead of time: This is my #1 piece of advice. Before you go to bed, plan your meals and snacks for the next day into MyFitnessPal - even if it's JUST your protein for the day. (You can always fill in the gaps later.) That way, you’re not eating a bowl of egg whites at the end of the night!

Make sure every meal and snack you eat has protein in it: It all adds up, so make sure even your snacks have a decent amount of protein in them.

Supplement with collagen or protein powder: You’ve probably heard me talk about mixing vanilla bean collagen into my morning iced coffee, but did you know that you can add it to yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, sauces, and even baked goods? Same goes for protein powder! Vanilla SFH is my favorite kind, especially when mixed into a protein ball!

Slightly increase your portions: Hitting your protein goal can be as simple as adding an extra ounce of chicken to lunch, another slice of deli meat to a sandwich, or an additional egg at breakfast. Small tweaks at each meal can add up quickly! 

Throw in some extras: Adding a bit of cheese to your eggs, beans to a salad, or topping your oatmeal with some nuts or hemp hearts can give you extra grams of protein from a variety of sources.

Load up on veggies (for real): Broccoli, peas, and potatoes are some of my favorites that have a decent amount of protein per serving. Bonus: They're loaded with nutrients and fiber, which are important to weight loss! 

Choose your snacks wisely: It’s easy to snack on carb-rich foods, especially when on-the-go. Try to include at least 10g of protein to your snacks to increase your daily total. Some of my favorite high-protein and travel-friendly snacks: Atlas Bars, RXBARS, and packets of Justin’s maple almond butter or RXBAR vanilla almond butter.

Prep a few of your favorite protein sources: I almost always make a big batch of shredded chicken in my Instant Pot at the beginning of the week, so I have a versatile protein source on-hand. I also like making egg cups and chicken sausage with roasted veggies for the week. Other favorites: Hard-boiled eggs, Cowboy Beans, and deli snack boxes. Additionally, check out these meal prep tips and handy checklist to set you up for success in the kitchen. Personally, meal prep is KEY to keeping me in track during the week. Otherwise, I eat take-out or cereal for dinner!

And, finally, be sure to check out this Macro Cheat Sheet for even more protein ideas! 

I hope these ideas help you to crush your daily protein goal!

What to do if you’re hungry while tracking macros? 

I’ve received this question quite a bit over the years, and my #1 answer is: If you’re hungry, eat more food! No seriously.

People often think they need to set their macros and calories really low and just try their hardest to eat within that limited range to lose weight. The problem is that sometimes it ends up equating to too little food, and the reason you’re hungry is that you need to eat more. If this is the case, it might be time for a hard look at your macro goals and activity level – maybe even work with a nutrition coach. 

Of course, if it’s just a few days here and there that you’re feeling especially hungry, take a look at what’s happening in your life:

• Did you get enough sleep the night before?
• Did you finish a really tough workout?
• If you’re a woman, are you about to get your period or ovulate?

All of these factors can contribute to why you are hungry. Our energy needs change every single day, so "set-in-stone" macro goals might not work if you’re hungry. 

All of the above can contribute to your hunger levels and cravings, and if that’s what is going on, then you need to eat! Macros are a great tool, but at the end of the day, we need to eat intuitively to make sure our bodies are fed.

Check out my top tips for feeling full and satiated after eating. 

When I work with clients, I definitely don’t want them to feel hungry because that’s not the point of macros. Macros are simply a framework to help you make well-rounded, nutritious (and delicious) meal choices that will keep you satisfied. Food is not just fuel; it is also meant to be enjoyed, and I want you to look forward to what you’re eating. 

I’m almost at capacity with my client load for January, but I still have a couple of slots open for a few highly committed people who are ready to make a real change in 2020. 

Registration closes tomorrow, 12/20, so if you’re interested in learning more about my coaching options, click here for details.

P.S. If you're wondering how my 1:1 coaching works, here's a video that I shared yesterday on Instagram. It gives you an overview of what happens during our time together. 

Still have questions?

If you're on the fence about trying out the CNC Weekly Macro Meal Plans, let me further explain how they work, so you know exactly what you’re signing up for and why you need them in you life!

In this blog post, I go into detail about the following topics: 

• How the flexible meal plan works
• How to use the shopping list
• How to read the recipes, serving sizes, and macros
• Using up leftovers
• Modifications and substitutions

If you're looking for a quick fix or diet, I’m not your girl. In my 1:1 nutrition coaching, we focus on creating sustainable habits and long-term RESULTS.

You won’t cut out entire food groups, and I won’t force you to eat foods you don't like. Instead, I will educate, motivate, and keep you accountable as you learn to implement macros as a tool to find balance and moderation in your diet while also achieving your personal goals.

With me by your side, supporting all along the way, you are going to learn and develop sustainable eating habits - ones that you can utilize long after our coaching relationship ends. At the end of our time together, YOU will be in the driver's seat with regard to your health. 

If you’re wondering what it’s like to work with me as a coach, here are some example conversations I have with clients. They’ll give you some insight into my coaching “style.” 















Ready to work together in January? You can sign up right here.
Registration closes today and won’t open again until early Spring.

P.S. If you're wondering how my 1:1 coaching works, here's a video that I shared on Instagram the other day. It gives you an overview of what happens during our time together. 

I actually didn't know anything about Beautycounter before hearing a few rumblings about it on social media. At the time, I really wasn't looking for any sort of "safer" skincare. I avoided parabens because I knew they were bad, but only when it was convenient for me. I just wanted beauty products that I worked well and that I loved.



I hear it all the time - people are always so shocked by how well Beautycounter's products perform compared to other "natural" brands on the market. Falling in love with Beautycounter's products and mission really made me want to become a consultant - and the rest is history!

If you’d like to stay in touch about Beautycounter, including any upcoming deals and promos (you’ll be the first to know!), be sure to sign up for my Beautycounter newsletter.

If you have any questions about Beautycounter or would like some product recommendations, just reply to this email. I’m more than happy to help!

Need some dinner inspiration? Look no further! 

I love macros because they keep me “honest” about my nut butter (and wine) obsession, but I know all of the pros and cons of the process. Sure, it’s exciting to “hit your macros” and see progress, but sometimes tracking becomes a bit addictive and overwhelming, especially if you want to be “perfect” all the time.

For me, macros have an important place in my life, but they are not my WHOLE life. I use them as a guide for mindful choices in my diet, especially with regards to building well-balanced, satisfying meals and snacks.

Healthy eating is not black and white, and tracking macros can really help you thrive in the daily gray area. It’s all about balance – with both food and mindset alike – click below to download my tips for tracking without the hassle! 

I’m always a little hesitant to share a day of eating - only because I don’t want you to think you should be eating the exact same way. That’s not the point.  

In fact, one of the reasons I Iove macros so much is because they help you figure out how to eat in way that looks and feels “balanced” for you - based on things like your schedule, workout routine, taste preferences, psychological considerations, and more.

Buuuut I do think sharing a day of my meals and snacks can sometimes give permission to those who might be too rigid with their eating habits and help them add more variety to their meals and not make it all so complicated/strict. 

So I wanted to share with you how I ate yesterday (and why).

BUT FIRST …

I wanted to tell you that I’m announcing something really great on Friday. It’s something I’ve never done before, but I have a feeling you are going to LOVE it. Let’s just say it’s an affordable way to start tracking macros. Be sure to check your email on Friday morning!  

Okay, so here’s what yesterday looked like:

• Wake up at 6:25 am: Drink my usual Teechino with collagen, Ashwaganda, and oat milk

• 8:15am: Leftover roasted sweet potatoes mixed with peanut butter, jelly, and ground flaxseed 

• 11:30am: 2 protein peanut butter cookies (testing for macro cookbook)
   
• 1:30pm: Spaghetti squash with leftover chili on top 

• 4:00pm: Roasted broccoli dipped into peanut sauce

• 6:00pm: Ground turkey with pizza seasoning, spinach, spaghetti squash, all covered in marinara sauce with Parmesan cheese on top 

• 8pm: A piece of dark chocolate dipped in almond butter 

So, there you go - a full day of eats. This day is semi-typical of how I normally eat, but, of course, this is one day of many.

I’m showing you what I ate not to make you feel any kind of way (bad about how you ate, or good that you weren’t as “bad” as me… obviously, I have no say over how you receiving this), but to show you a simple example of what I consider balanced eating with the help of macros.  

I’m far from “perfect” and definitely could have made healthier choices (and, of course, could have made unhealthier choices), but I’m also not willing to sacrifice satisfaction, deliciousness, or my sanity to be more strict or “have more willpower” with my diet. 

My eating is the culmination of years and years of practice, using macros as a guide, in what foods fill me up and give me energy without making me feel gross or weighing me down. 

I hope you enjoyed this recap of what I ate in a day. Please keep sharing your meals on Instagram. I love seeing your tasty creations and already have so many news ones that I want to try myself!

 #TTMchallenge  

Here are 54 of my favorite throw together meals. Pretty much all of them are made with 5 ingredients or less and can be assembled in under 20 minutes. I hope they give you some tasty ideas for the #TTMChallenge! 
 

One of the BIGGEST mistakes I made in terms of weight loss was only focusing on calories IN and calories OUT. 

In this day and age, it sounds silly, right? Like, how could our bodies be so simplistic?

It’s funny looking back at what I used to eat… Light ‘N Fit yogurt, Fiber One Bars, 100-calorie snack packs. I thought I was being “healthy” because I was eating low-calorie foods, but my body was seriously lacking quality nutrition, and, honestly, I was just filing it with artificial junk. 

I know I’m not the only one who’s been “tricked” by diet culture into thinking that in order to feel good and lose weight, we must simply cut calories. And it doesn't end there! Diet culture also tells us to: 
 

• Limit carbs
• Avoid sugar 
• Intermittent fast
• Drink green juice 
• Load up on protein 
• Give up grains and gluten 
• Go Keto
• Become vegan 
• Carb cycle 
   

Basically, diet culture tells us to do what worked for somebody else, but here’s why this doesn’t work: It forces us to follow someone else’s plan without checking in with what works for our bodies and lifestyle.

We think we’re supposed to follow in someone else’s footsteps to get results, but that’s just not the case. What works for one person, might be detrimental to another. 

I mean, totally cutting sugar from my diet might actually kill me! Kidding. Kind of. I would be very unhappy. Plus, eliminating treats from my diet is definitely NOT sustainable for me. 



The 6-week Macro Motivation Challenge will teach you how to stop dieting and create a nutrition plan that works for YOU. Dialing into what works (and doesn’t work) will help you get results because you'll find consistency and flexibility with your eating habits. 

Long story short, if you can’t see yourself eating a certain way forever, it’s really difficult to maintain lasting results. Period. 

Learning to tracking macros is something you can use forever. You don’t have to track every single day for the rest of your life, but it’s a tool that you can rely on now and in the future. 

The 6-week Macro Motivation Challenge includes: 

• "How to Calculate Macros for Weight Loss" guide
• 2-week sample meal plan
• Daily check-ins and accountability logs 
• Weekly Q&A and macro education
• Weekly group accountability and education 
• Ongoing support and communication via private Facebook group
• "Getting Started with Macros" guide
• Weekly freebies and giveaways

What’s not included: 

• 1:1 coaching 
• Formal check-ins 
• Macro adjustments, but I’m more than happy to help you troubleshoot in our Facebook group!

Pre-sale registration ends TODAY, so be sure to sign up ASAP if you want to lock in the lowest rates.

If you’re ready to sign up, you can do so here. We start NEXT Monday!!

We think we’re supposed to adhere to the diet PERFECTLY to see results, and that’s just not the case. 

The first month of the new year is quickly coming to an end. Sure, you can hop on the bandwagon for the next new diet or follow tips from health gurus, but, at the end of the day, you need to be able to trust yourself around food and practice moderation. 

Macros teach you how to truly incorporate moderation, mindfulness and self-trust into your diet. And, trust me, the last thing you need to do is follow a trendy diet protocol, because… you’ve got this. With macros in your back pocket, you can have it all (just not all at once). 

So, why should you track macros?

• It helps you figure out how much food is appropriate for your activity level

• It helps you find “food freedom” so you can stop feeling guilty about your choices

• It provides you with a framework for your diet instead of feeling like you have no control

• It helps you ditch the idea that restrictive diets are the only way for you to lose weight

• It sets a plan in motion since you have achievable goals to aim for each day

• It keeps you accountable and moving forward with a daily reminder of your goals

• It helps you balance nutritious foods that are important for a healthy body with the delicious ones that are important for a healthy soul
