Every bite sends messages to your body, shaping your mood, energy, hormones, metabolism, and even how vibrantly you show up for your life. Not all calories are created equal. A 300-calorie pastry and a 300-calorie superfood bowl will land very differently in your body. While one may spike your blood sugar and leave you drained, the other can ignite energy, stabilize your mood, and fuel your brilliance. It’s not just how much you eat, but what — and even when — you eat that matters. Different times of day call for different kinds of nourishment: energizing, protein-rich meals in the morning to fire…
