Eating well on a budget
Where the nutritional value actually sits in a NZ supermarket shop, which frozen and tinned options genuinely stack up, and a shortlist of meals that repeat well without becoming tedious.
Area of expertise
Lifestyle & Grocery
Most nutrition advice quietly assumes time, money and a predictable schedule. This is for when one or more of those is missing — practical eating that survives shift work, study, a tight budget and a busy household.
What I help with
Label reading, budget-friendly swaps and meal rhythms that fit shift work, study and family life.
Label reading
Reading the nutrition information panel and ingredient list in the ten seconds you have in an aisle — and recognising which front-of-pack claims mean nothing.
Shift work & irregular schedules
Meal timing, alertness and sleep when your days don't follow a standard pattern, plus food that travels and keeps.
Sports and active lifestyles
Fuelling training and recovery for recreational and club-level athletes, with an evidence-based view on which supplements are worth your money.
