This week join Courtney and Jay as they interview Dietitian Amanda Donahue MS, RD, LD. We learn the difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist, Amanda teaches Courtney a new word "comorbidities". We discuss the ability of food to make you feel better both emotionally and physically and how good nutrition is all about fueling your body. Amanda talks about how she doesn't judge what other people eat but she's always there for people close to her to get nutritional advice from and how eating at her house for a cook out may look a little different than what most people expect from a cookout. Jay tells us how steak is dense in steak and tries to make beer a 'healthy' food anyway he can.  Jay struggles to understand fruits and veggies for dogs, and neither of us can really grasp the ability to limit yourself to one Oreo. We talk fad diets, how there is no such thing as "good" and "bad" foods, and learn how moderation is key for all things. We both admit to having done Whole 30 and it's pretty safe to say neither of us plan on doing it again. Courtney asks Amanda about the changes to the food pyramid and we learn about 'my plate'.
