A “Fresh” Summer Approach To Organizing Your Fridge

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

By Guest Blogger Kelly Anne Erdman M.Sc, R.D.

I’m a sport dietitian and cycling Olympian with the Canadian Sport Centre in Calgary, where I consult several national teams. I’m also the Performance Dietitian for the Canadian Olympic Committee and Team Canada at the upcoming 2012 London Summer Olympic Games. I will be their main support during the games when it comes to food selection and dietary needs. I love what I do – helping athletes to achieve their personal best success (and hopefully that means medals), is tremendously fulfilling!

Aside from being a sport dietitian, I’ve got another important job– I’m a mother to two highly active kids who are into competitive hockey and track and field, respectively – so I like to practice what I preach at home and in the office.

Top 7 Foods To Keep You Fit

Monday, May 9th, 2011

I’m going with the rhythm of the people. You asked. I answered. Summer’s around the corner. Bathing suit season is almost upon us. The weather is improving. Comfort food is out. Healthy food is in.

But the truth is, now is usually the time we try and bust a move. Our snug jeans from the winter months of delicious pastas and warm cream soups, cannot be hidden anymore under a long or bulky sweater. The air is lighter. The sun is brighter. And it’s right about now, that we try to get re-motivated for the summer.

Today is about foods that help keep you fit. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about whether or not to continue in a slump, consider this your whack over the head with the frying pan (pardon the irony). It’s May. May is about rebirth, rejuvenation, and regrowth. So, if you’ve been a bad girl, give yourself permission to own that… and then let it go.

Eating Healthy With A Busy Schedule

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

So we’re all busy right? Running to and from places. To Starbucks, to the office, to visit an elderly grandparent, to the gym, to an extra-curricular activity, a meeting. Running running running. And yet, I always roll my eyes at those skinny girls who say, “I just don’t have time to eat!” Yah, WHATEVER! Rome could be burning, and there I am, chompin’ away. In fact, I can count on one hand the number of meals I’ve missed in my ENTIRE lifetime. If you ask my husband, he’ll attest to it! No joke. I NEVER miss a meal.

So, how do you do it? With all the running and juggling, how do you make time for good healthy meals, and avoid skipping? Believe me, I’m just as busy as the next person, but I always make time to eat. I’m not saying I haven’t eaten a salad in my car on my way to a meeting, but I make food a priority, as funny as it sounds. For women juggling it all, food is in fact paramount to your success. And good food, may I add.
