Granola bars saying they give your day a healthy start, or protein bars saying they’re great workout fuel. And we can’t forget the wrappers covered in all the buzzwords: natural, wholesome, clean, high protein, etc. The more you read the labels, the more you realize that they’re either desserts disguised as breakfast, or straight up concoctions of chemicals. Are these bars actually healthy? Let’s...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/i-spent-my-day-staring-at-protein-bars-my-mom-is-worried</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1f809bae0d73d1087f756e</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 01:22:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is your body as doomed as your feed?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Social media is pretty bad for your health. Yeah, nothing new. That news has been going around for years. But there's a side of this we don't talk about as much that is just as important. Social media, in addition to affecting you emotionally, also has measurable effects on your physical body. And for teenagers spending an average of five or more hours a day on their phones, whether it's doomscrolling on the toilet or checking your stories right when you wake up, those effects really do add...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/is-your-body-as-doomed-as-your-feed</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c96b0b4b5dfe0bfdb2ac87</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:10:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[School Lunches: A Systemic Failure]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most of us don't really think about what we ate as a kid until we're older and dealing with the consequences of it. The food you eat during those early years of development is more than just your source of energy. It builds your body, your brain, and most importantly, the habits you will continue for the rest of your life. But what should kids actually be eating? As a child, your nutrient needs are not just a scaled down version of what you're supposed to eat as an adult. For example, you...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/school-lunches-a-systemic-failure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c9615c8bb7e54baa6a26e3</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:29:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate plane food. You should too.]]></title><description><![CDATA[I just got back from vacation and let me tell you, I ate some horrible food on that flight. Here’s an example, I got a Thai green curry and the ingredients were as listed: Water, white rice, modified food starch, coconut oil, maltodextrin, salt, less than 2% of the following... We all know plane food is terrible, especially when you fly economy like me. But this was one of the first times I actually stopped to read the ingredients, and I'm not even sure if I was surprised. Nutritionally, this...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/i-hate-plane-food-you-should-too</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69597a087098baf602246620</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2026 05:03:42 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teenage Diets]]></title><description><![CDATA[As a teenager, it’s pretty common to feel motivated to start a diet, whether if it’s to look great for prom, or just to feel better about yourself. It's also pretty common to give up on that diet. If you've experienced this, you’re not alone. I’m going to be talking about why diets fail and what you can do that works instead. If someone told you that their diet didn’t work and you had to guess why, chances are that you would think “they just didn’t try hard enough!” Most of the time, that's...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/teenage-diets</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c206b636a1fdc193bd0656</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2025 04:36:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read the fine print!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Nutrition labels are everywhere. But what's the point if you don't know how to read them? I used to just glance at the calories, and think something is healthy just because it's low in calories, but there's a lot more to look at then just that! Serving Size - Easy to read, but easier to overlook Not all snacks come with exactly one serving per package. Failing to realize this might cause you eat more calories than you really want! For example, last week I got a pack of Cheetos, which I...]]></description><link>https://www.triglyceridetalks.blog/post/read-the-fine-print</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6926412e5dc246333b3954ad</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:46:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rheasrinivas78</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
