March is National Nutrition Month, making it the perfect time to take a closer look at what’s on our plates—and the “food rules” we may be living by that don’t really fuel our bodies. With so much nutrition advice floating around, it’s easy to fall for myths that sound convincing but aren’t true. We’re clearing up the confusion by debunking five common nutrition myths that are easy to fall for. Let’s dig in!

5 Common Myths, Debunked:

Myth #1: You need to eat every 2-3 hours to boost metabolism.

Your metabolism isn’t keeping track of the clock—it cares more about how much you eat overall. Whether you prefer three meals or six small snacks, it’s the total calories and nutrients that count.

Myth #2: Fat is bad for you.

Not all fats are a bad health choice—healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and olive oil are good for your heart and brain. The key is choosing the right kinds of fats and enjoying them in moderation.

Myth #3: You have to detox to cleanse your body.

Your body is already equipped with a powerful detox system—your liver and kidneys. Special detox teas or juice cleanses aren’t necessary. Instead, drinking plenty of water and maintaining a balanced diet of proteins and veggies will keep your body’s natural detox process running smoothly!

Myth #4: You must eat a variety of foods in every meal to be healthy.

You don’t need a perfect balance at every meal to be healthy. It’s more about getting a mix of proteins, veggies, and a hearty breakfast throughout the day or week, so don’t stress about every plate.

Myth #5: All calories are created equal.

A 100-calorie pack of cookies isn’t the same as 100 calories of almonds—one’s a quick sugar rush, the other’s lasting energy. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the nutrition behind them.
