25.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. White Basmati Rice Vs Brown Rice. White rice has the husk, bran layer and the germ portion of the grain removed. Brown rice will contain the whole grain and as a result is going to be higher in most vitamins and minerals. Main vitamins you will be getting from brown rice are magnesium, thiamine, iron, and zinc. Brown will also have about 9x the amount of calcium when compared to Basmati. Both white and brown rice will come in short, medium and long grain va...rieties. Basmati rice is a long-grain variety of white rice and as a result is digested slower (low GI) and therefore better for appetite, weight and blood glucose control. Brown rice, in general, will have a moderate GI. Per 100g the calorie and carbohydrate contents of each are pretty much identical. Basmati rice will have a slightly lower protein content approximately 6.5g/100g of protein compared to over 7.5g/100g in brown rice. Finally, due to its intact outer shell, brown rice will also have 1.5 times higher fibre content than Basmati making it a better choice for bowel and digestive health. WINNER = Brown rice. NB: When choosing either brown or white rice try and choose longer grain, lower GI varieties and portion control your amount. If you have diabetes, depending on your choice of brown rice, basmati may work better at controlling your BGLs. . . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #rice #brownrice #basmati #carbohydrates See more

24.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle Salmon Vs Tuna. Per 100g it is Tuna which will have a lower calorie content. Not surprising when Salmon has about 13 times the fat of tuna. This higher amount of fat is predominantly in the form of mono and polyunsaturated ‘healthy’ fats making Salmon a far better choice if you are looking to control your cholesterol levels. Tuna is higher in protein and will also have a 10x higher content of B-group vitamin Naicin (vitamin B3) which is important for releasi...ng energy from food and DNA repair. Salmon has three times the Calcium, double the Zinc and more than twelve times the amount of Folate when compared with Tuna. Tuna is higher in Mercury with ‘skipjack’ and/or ‘yellowfin’ being the lowest mercury containing Tuna varieties. Canned Tuna usually has lower mercury levels than fresh because Tuna used for canning are smaller species that are caught when less than 1 year old. Food Standard Australia New Zealand suggests It is generally safe for all population groups, including pregnant women, to consume 2-3 serves of any type of tuna or salmon a week, canned or fresh. Winner= Salmon. . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #salmon #tuna #omega3 #unsaturatedfat See more

23.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. The popular choice taken by most gym junkies, the humble chicken breast (grilled with NO OIL!!!!) is the ‘obvious’ choice at most meals if you`re trying to shed some K Gs. Or is it? When comparing an average lean fillet of pork, chicken or turkey, pork actually comes in with the lowest calories, highest protein (23.1g) and lowest total fat (1.2g). Nutritionally, chicken is quite similar to pork whereas turkey is highest in both calories and total fat. Turke...y is also the lowest protein option of the three. Chicken is highest in all B-group vitamins and turkey the lowest is the majority of B-group vitamins. However, a pork fillet will provide the lowest amount of Vitamin B12 (an essential vitamin which the body needs from food based sources and a common vitamin for deficiency). Pork does, on the other hand, contain more than double the amount of Iron of both Turkey and Chicken and comes in lowest in both saturated and trans fats which are the main fats associated with stroke and heart disease. This may be hard to hear for my Jewish brethren but the clear winner this week = PORK. (For those who don’t dine on the swine, chicken comes in a close second). Next week Beef Vs Pork for the red vs white final showdown. . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #whitemeat #chicken #turkey #pork See more

23.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. Sports nutrition topic today and I will be comparing two ‘sports drinks’ Powerade Vs Gatorade. Most may know that Gatorade was initially formulated by a team of scientists as a result of the Florida Gators football coach wanting a drink to help his athletes replace body fluids lost during physical exertion. The history of Powerade is far less inspiring and those who are interested can head to Wikipedia if you want to see the various changes the Coca-Cola Co...mpany were forced to make to increase their profits. Powerade has a slightly higher calorie content (albeit insignificant) which is interesting since the sugar content is 1g higher in a bottle of Gatorade. Sugar in drinks like these (if used appropriately) is actually a positive thing as these sugars can replace lost energy during/after a sports session. The other important consideration is the amount of electrolyte Sodium. Companies may advertise the fact they have various amounts of 3-4 electrolytes. However, the higher the Sodium, the better the body absorbs and retains fluid and therefore is hydrated. The addition of potassium to sports drinks helps maintain electrolyte balance and can assist with muscle contraction during exercise. The Potassium content of Powerade is slightly higher. Gatorade has about 50% more Sodium and along with it’s lower calorie and higher sugar content makes it the superior choice. Winner = Gatorade. #sportsnutrition #sportsdietitian #sportsdrink #hydration . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals See more

20.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. Brown sugar vs white sugar. Brown sugar is simply white sugar mixed with 5-10% molasses, this is how brown sugar can hold its shape like wet sand, while white sugar cannot. Raw sugar, which has only been partially refined, is also generally brown in colour. However, most brown sugars are refined white mixed with molasses. Because of the molasses, brown sugar will contain slightly higher amounts of calcium, magnesium and B-vitamins. However, the amounts are ...negligible and brown will actually have a slightly higher calorie content per teaspoon. Bottom line, like white sugars, brown sugar/molasses are added sugars that should be limited in your diet as much as possible to avoid unwanted weight gain and increased chronic disease risks. If you find yourself justifying because... I’m using brown, or raw, or coconut or agave don’t fool yourself, it’s all SUGAR. No winner this week. . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #sugar #brownsugar See more

20.01.2022 @fridayfoodbattle. Raspberry Vs Blueberry. When it comes to berry nutrition, it is often blueberries that are touted as the super berry that can do no wrong. There is no doubting, they are quite ‘super’ but how do they it stack up against their old rival in red?? Per 100g Raspberry will provide slightly less calories and slightly more protein, Raspberries will also provide 2.7x more fibre per 100g than blue berries. Blueberries come in higher in both Vitamin A and Vitamin K w...hich are both fat soluble vitamins and can assist in lowering cholesterol levels. However, Raspberries come in 2-3x higher in all other significant vitamins/minerals. Winner = Raspberries . . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #berries #blueberry #raspberry See more

11.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. Depending on which one you are choosing, yoghurt can make for a great low calorie snack or a healthy substitute for cream and ice-cream. The two main varieties of yoghurt in our supermarkets are Greek and Natural (plain) so today I have decided to put these in for battle. Greek yoghurt is made by straining yoghurt through muslin cloth or a paper filter, which removes the liquid whey resulting in a thicker and creamier texture. This process often means the c...alcium level is lower in Greek yoghurt, but it will have up to twice as much protein. The fact that it is more concentrated usually means the percentage of beneficial bacteria is also higher in Greek. Greek yoghurt tends to be significantly higher in fat (around 8-10%), with some containing extra cream or milk solids, compared to 4% (full cream milk) or 0-2% (low fat/skim) for standard plain or natural yoghurt. Since yoghurt is derived from an animal source it contains predominantly saturated fat and although the debate continues around the link between saturated fats and the risk of heart disease, saturated fat will certainly influence your weight if consumed in excess. From a culinary perspective, Greek-style yoghurt tends to hold up better when heated, making it a healthier substitute for cream in cooking whereas a lower fat natural yoghurt may be a better day to day choice. Winner = Greek Yoghurt . . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #yoghurt #dessert #greekyogurt #natural #naturalyogurt See more

07.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. This week, the final show down in the battle of the meats. BEEF vs PORK. 100g lean fillet of beef will give you approx 21% more calories than an equivalent portion of pork. The protein content of each are relatively similar with beef containing only 1g more protein per 100g. The most significant difference when looking at the macronutrients is the fat content. 100g of beef fillet contains approximately 2.5x the total fat of a pork fillet with over 1/3 of th...is coming as Saturated and Trans fatty acids. When looking at the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) Beef ‘brings home the bacon’ containing 60% more Iron, 42% more Zinc and 75% more Vitamin B12. This week’s WINNER = BEEF due to its high nutritional value compared with pork. However, because of its higher fat content it is best to include lean cuts and only 2-3x per week. To get a wide variety of nutrients from all of your meat options, I normally recommend 2x red meat meal, 2x white meat meal, 2x fish meal and 1 x vegetarian meal per week. . . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #redmeat #whitemeat #vitamins #minerals See more

05.01.2022 #fridayfoodbattle. Dark Rye bread Vs Multigrain bread. Thanks @jjzimmet for an excellent battle suggestion. When comparing breads it is very hard to give broad recommendations due to a wide variety of brands and therefore recipes. However, usually when comparing a slice of Multigrain bread to Dark Rye it is Multigrain that will have a higher fibre and slightly higher protein content. Dark Rye will be naturally higher in Calcium and Iron but will also come with a higher sodium.../salt content (most bread is high in salt so this is something to be aware of). Working in the field of Diabetes I often recommend breads based on their GI (Glycaemic Index) which is a measure of how quickly your blood sugar will rise after eating a food. Low GI carbohydrates have been shown to be more beneficial for satiety and weight control. Generally Multigrain breads are lower GI with some Rye breads being incredibly high GI depending on the manufacturing process. Many of the European (Swiss and German Ryes) as well as Sourdough Rye will be a low GI option. Some bakeries will also combine Dark Rye with whole grains to create a hybrid ‘super bread’. Tough one but Winner = Multigrain. Tip: All sourdough breads are low GI and if you are comparing breads look for higher fibre and lower salt/sodium contents per 100g. . . . . . . . #healthyliving #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #melbournenutrition #wantirna #diabetes #healthy #health #healthyeating #food #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #natural #foodblog #foodporn #nutrition #vitamins #minerals #bread #rye #grains #glycaemicindex See more
