from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate
In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we break down Nutrition 101 and talk about how to simplify nutrition without tracking every calorie, cutting out entire food groups, or living in food stress. With so much conflicting nutrition advice online, many people feel overwhelmed, confused, or stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle. This episode explains what actually matters when it comes to nutrition, how to build a foundation that supports energy, health, and consistency, and why complexity often creates more problems than it solves. If you’ve ever felt: overwhelmed by nutrition advice confused about what to eat stuck between “eating healthy” and enjoying life tired of starting over with new food rules this conversation will help you zoom out and focus on the basics that move the needle. We talk about: how to build meals without overthinking why consistency matters more than perfection how to stop cycling between restriction and burnout what “eating well” actually looks like in real life This episode is especially helpful if you’re rebuilding your relationship with food, navigating a busy season of life, or trying to support performance, recovery, and long-term health without turning nutrition into another source of stress. Nutrition doesn’t need to be extreme to be effective. Sometimes the most powerful shift is learning how to keep things simple — and sustainable. 🔗 Resources & Links 📖 Read the full breakdown of this Podcast episode on my Substack 👉 [Read it Here] 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
What this episode covers
<p><strong>Thanks for listening in to the Athlete Mom Project!</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>⛰️ 🚵🏼♀️🤰🏼🏋️♀️👩🏼🍼🏃🏼♀️</p> <p><strong>A</strong> - athlete </p> <p><strong>M</strong> - mom</p> <p><strong>P</strong> - project</p> <p><strong>Let's get AMPed!</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Today I break down nutrition to make it very simple. The analogy that I give is is:</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you don' know how to ride a bike but you all of a sudden have this urge to ride downhill MTB. It would be like not knowing how to ride and then signing up for a downhill race in the first 3 months. It's ridiculous. </p> <p> </p> <p>SOOOO often I see moms want to lose the baby weight and their motivation is at an all time high and they take on too much too soon. </p> <p><br></p> <p>For any goal - whether that be weight loss, body recomposition, performance - a step by step approach for how to tackle nutrition to support you.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>It goes like this:</strong></p> <p>1. Data collecting</p> <p>2. Calorie tracking only</p> <p>3. Calorie tracking and protein </p> <p>4. Calorie tracking + protein and MAYBE carbs/fats</p> <p><br></p> <p>I will break down specific performance based goals and how that applies to nutrition on a later podcast. </p> <p><br></p> <p>For now, I hope this simple approach helps you take a more realistic mindset towards the actions you need to take to move the needle in the right direction. </p> <p><br></p> <p>If you are still feeling overwhelmed, book a FREE discovery call with me and let's create a step by step approach that YOU can feel good about.</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://calendly.com/withchancoachingbba/coaching-consultation-call" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Book a FREE Discovery Call With Me</strong></a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Athlete Mom Project Resources:</strong></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/withchanyoucan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@withchanyoucan</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chandler.sommerfeldt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Chandler Sommerfeldt</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/withchanyoucan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">FREE Facebook Community</a> - join a bunch of other moms on a mission just like you!</p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WithChanYouCan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@WithChanYouCan</a></p> <p><a href="https://chandler-s-site-ec11.thinkific.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">With Chan You Can Website</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please like and subscribe, rate it, and share with your friends if you found this valuable. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>And remember—with Chan, you can 💪</strong></p> <p>Let's climb this mountain together!</p> <p><br></p>
