270: You Can Stop Worrying About Nutrition
Episode 270
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
In this episode, I’m diving into why dinner has become so overcomplicated—and how you can stop worrying about it. Somewhere between Pinterest recipes, wellness trends, and the “eat the rainbow” movement, we’ve lost sight of what feeding a family actually means. I’ll walk you through my recent food experiment (yes, it involves potatoes, rice, and butter), what I learned about nutrition tracking, and why simple meals—like what we ate in the 70s—are often the healthiest. We’ll talk macros, metabolism, and why variety isn’t always your friend. If you’re tired of feeling guilty about dinner or burnt out from trying to make it “interesting,” this episode will remind you that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be good.Timestamps:00:00 — Jamie’s late-day recording + dog chaos 02:15 — Why dinner has become way too complicated05:00 — The myth of needing “new” meals every night07:30 — Jamie’s food experiment: meat, fat, and glucose balance10:45 — How overcomplicating food wrecks our sanity14:00 — Simple 1970s-style plates: protein, starch, veg17:15 — Why the government ruined dinner in the 1980s (hello, food pyramid)21:00 — Eat local and seasonal — not imported “superfoods”26:45 — Tracking macros, understanding fat and carbs for real life30:15 — The shocking truth about how simple meals hit your nutritional needs35:00 — Why ditching variety might be the key to better health39:00 — Final thoughts: food, family, and making life easier again41:00 — Jamie’s sign-off: “Put your phone down.” 👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!
