  • MEATLESS MONDAY #COLLAB // hi guys, did you know that doing #MeatlessMonday can make a big difference for your health and the health of our planet? 🌍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein and also provides a source of calcium 😊 in case you didn’t know, my PhD research is focused on calcium intake so this is something that gets me super excited 😆 not all tofu products list calcium in NIP (Nutrition Information Panel) so it was see it at @aldiaustralia (100 g firm tofu contains 93 mg of calcium) 👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s the dish I made last Sunday. All ingredients are from @aldiaustralia and cost less than $15 (swipe to see) 🙌🏼 I’ve tried the noodles and frozen vege many times but it was my first time trying their tofu. I love that Aldi offers great quality products at unbeatable prices 😁 I’ll def be including tofu in my regular meal prep 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you tried tofu? What’s your fav way to eat tofu? 👇🏼 . . . ______________________________________ #ALDIHaul #ALDIShopping #ALDICreations #ALDIPartner #ALDIFinds #Gifted @ALDIAustralia #tofurecipes #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedpower #thefeedfeedvegan #dietitianapproved #shenanigansofadietitian
  • THESIS THURSDAY // hi guys, there’s a new post on my blog about my Jammed June 😬 link is in bio 🙏 I’m writing a #thesisthursday on a Tuesday because I was super overwhelmed after coming back from 🇫🇯 last week 😩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I handed in my draft before I left to my supervisor so I knew the next step would be to do further revisions based on the feedback. I was fully prepared to make changes to any text, tables and figures...literally everything except statistics 😂 coz let’s just say it’s not my cup of tea ☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So it turns out that I need to redo my analyses using a new method. I totally wouldn’t mind redoing it but the problem was I had no clue how to do it 😩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent a lot of time doing blank staring at the screen 💻 I literally sat there for hours, no joke! Lately, I’ve been doing lots of googling and fiddling on SPSS to get some answers 😣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not sure if I’m getting any closer but you gotta do what you gotta do 🤣 I know it’s gonna take A LOT of work to rework this paper but I know it’s also going to make it A MUCH BETTER paper than it currently is so let’s do this 💪🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS- this pic is from my recent Fiji trip and taken during my friend’s wedding festivities 🥳 earrings: @sareesalon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . ______________________________________ #phdthesis #phdlife #thesiswriting #PhDchat #phdjourney #discoverunder10k #womeninstem #stemgirls #thestemsquad #thescicommunity #discoverunder10k #womenirl #womeninscience #hustleharder #lyk99 #mlikes1 #femalehustler #phdresearch #shenanigansofadietitian @phd_balance @thestemsquad @thescicommunity @browngirlsinstem
  • 🇫🇯 ISLAND EATS // here are some pics from our second island tour at Robinson Crusoe island 🌴 we went on a cultural tour and learnt things about their traditional cooking. One of my fav things to do when travelling is trying out local foods 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For lunch, we were served a ‘lovo’ buffet which is a traditional form of cooking which mimics underground microwaving. The meat and fish are wrapped in foil and any root vegetables are placed on the top 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve got three types of carb on my plate (potato + rice + pasta). As you can see, it’s very different to the usual portion control we recommend which is 1/2 veg, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carb. But it’s totally okay and it’s not something you should feel bad about 😖 you gotta loosen it a little when you’re on holidays. I always struggle to eat enough veggies when I’m away from and usually end up eating more carbs 🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We also watched a cooking demo where they made kokoda (pronounced ko-kon-da). It’s made with raw fish cured in lemon juice and kinda similar to ceviche (more on this later) 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe to see more pics from our day on the island 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . ______________________________________ #vacationeats #everythinginmoderation #balanceddiet #plantbaseddiet #holidayeats #dietitianapproved #dietitiansofinstagram #plantbasedpower #lyks92 #alikes3 #discoverunder10k #fijiislands #islandliving #fijinow #fijifinds #shenanigansofadietitian
  • SAREE NOT SORRY // so it’s time for me to bombard you guys with the outfits I wore at my friend’s destination wedding 🇫🇯 this was what I wore on the first day which was the mehendi night 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A big thank you to @sareesalon for finding me a saree in my fav colour 😍 + my mum for the jewellery + hubs for helping me with the draping 😇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tbh, I’m such a noob when it comes to wearing sarees but luckily I have some blogger friends who wear it pretty effortlessly and continue to inspire me @brazenlybrown @tazzy5 and @amritha.shakti 🙋🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe to see the front side 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . ______________________________________ #collab #sareedraping #sarinotsorry #desiblogger #fashionblogger #bangladeshistreetstyle #desiswag #southasianweddings #southasianfashion #browngirlbloggers #fblogger #indianwedding #desifashion #modestfashion #livetinted #browngirlmagic #melaninmagic #shenanigansofadietitian
  • BACK FROM BREAK // hi you guys!! I’m back from 🇫🇯 sorry for being MIA but I’ll be catching up slowly 😬I was there for my friend’s wedding and we were travelling almost everyday during the other times. We had limited data and coverage so wanted to save the pics for later ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I‘ve tried a lot of local foods this time around so I can’t wait to share these with you 🙂 here’s a buffet lunch we had on our first island tour. And yes, I have bread, pasta and potato on my plate 😏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Contrary to what most people think, carbs aren’t bad for you and there’s no need to fear them. It's the type, quality and quantity of carbohydrate in our diet that is important 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Carbs also provide us with important B vitamins, fibre and other nutrients. They are totally okay in moderation 👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favs from this plate were the eggplant, jungle spinach and pineapple 👌 I seriously can’t get over how good the 🍍 is in Fiji 🇫🇯 make sure to try it if you’re there 😀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe to see my lunch view 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . ______________________________________ #vacationeats #everythinginmoderation #balanceddiet #plantbaseddiet #holidayeats #dietitianapproved #dietitiansofinstagram #plantbasedmeal #discoverunder10k #fijiislands #fijifood #fijinow #fijifinds #shenanigansofadietitian
  • THESIS THURSDAY // hi guys! This is gonna be the easiest post to write coz I’ve had the best week ever 😏 I handed in my draft last Friday and I honestly can’t tell you how amazing it feels to be able to switch off 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re following my insta stories, you might know that I ran away from my thesis and came to Fiji 🇫🇯 to be honest, I kinda do miss being away from my 👶 but I’m loving this break and the island life 🌴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m here to attend my friend’s destination wedding 👰 I’ve got limited data so I haven’t been posting much and haven’t had a chance to catch up your messages/ comments. I always get behind when I travel but I find it refreshing to take a break from the gram 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve tried posted some insta stories when I can (you can find them under highlights Fiji 2.0) 😁 make sure to watch my insta stories for wedding updates and I’ll share more details with you once I’m back ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS- this pic is from our half day cruise today and the henna on my hands is from last night’s mehendi night 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . ______________________________________ #takingabreak #worklifebalance #phdlife #thesiswriting #PhDchat #phdjourney #discoverunder10k #womeninstem #thestemsquad #thescicommunity #womenirl #womeninscience #fijinow #phdresearch #shenanigansofadietitian @phd_balance @thestemsquad @thescicommunity @browngirlsinstem
  • AIRPORT BREKKIE #collab // I’m a big lover of all things brekkie but we had an early flight this morning ✈️ there was no way we would’ve had time to eat breakfast at home coz we finished packing 2am and slept for only only 2 hours 🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We were feeling very sleepy on our way to the airport but this morning’s breakfast put a smile on our face 😁 the salmon Benedict was so satisfying 👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love that #soulorigin has kilojoule labelling, it makes it much easier for us to make healthier choices or at least be mindful of what we’re having 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe to see our full breakfast 👉🏼 . . . ______________________________________ #breakfast #healthierchoices #salmonbenedict #fijibound #eatingout #healthyeating #dietitianapproved #breakfastideas #sydneyblogger #dietitiansofinstagram #discoverunder5k #sydneyfoodbloggers #soulorigin #discoverunder10k #shenanigansofadietitian
