Protein Shake: Do You Sip It, Shoot It, or Spit it Back Out?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go shaker-to-shaker in the ultimate protein shake showdown. From mix ratios to mouthfeel (yes, we said it), we're taste-testing what happens when your post-workout shake leans more pudding than pourable. Caleigh’s got thoughts, Sara’s got protein math, and poor Allen is just trying to survive his first shake ever. We’re breaking down the great water-to-powder debate and daring to ask: do you sip it, shoot it, or… spit it back out? Join us for messy textures, too much eye contact, and the conclusion that consistency (in your shakes and your habits) might matter more than the flavor.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into one of the most misunderstood concepts in nutrition: the difference between eating healthy and eating for weight loss. We talk about how your personality—whether you're more of a "cook" or a "baker"—can shape your approach to fitness and nutrition, and why that actually matters when you're setting goals. We also get into journaling (of both the food and feelings variety), Gusher confessionals, banana girth (this again?), and how sometimes the smallest tweaks make the biggest difference. Plus, we cover the moment Caleigh realized ChatGPT might actually be her best assistant… and possibly her therapist. It’s another episode full of useful info, unhinged tangents, and way too much discussion about fruit size.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara decide to start with a wall sit… and things spiral from there. What begins as a test of leg strength turns into an unplanned, chaotic 5-minute bodyweight workout, complete with heart rate spikes, drywall damage, and Caleigh nearly passing out in jeans. We laugh (a lot), learn that jumping jacks aren’t for the faint of pelvic floor, and talk about how just a few minutes of intentional movement a day can make a difference. Spoiler alert: you don’t need a gym membership to move your body—just a wall, a questionable idea, and a co-host willing to suffer for content.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara tackle a hot (and kind of mushy) topic: oatmeal. Is it the worst thing you can feed your kids for breakfast, or is it just the internet’s latest nutrition scapegoat? We break down a controversial video claiming oatmeal is a breakfast disaster and dive into why context (and what you pair it with) actually matters. Sara nerds out over macros, Caleigh reveals her Cinnamon Toast Crunch weakness, and both of us go deep on flavored oatmeal nostalgia, cottage cheese on bagels, and the true horror of discovering anchovies in syrup. (Yes, really.) Whether you're team maple brown sugar or ride-or-die for protein-packed omelets, this one’s for you.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the absurd world of social media nutrition “experts,” where apparently if “protein” isn’t listed in the ingredients, it simply doesn’t exist. We break down a viral video claiming Fairlife shakes have zero protein (yes, really), and talk about how misinformation is messing with people's heads. We also unpack what ingredient lists actually mean, the difference between nutrition facts and macros, and how unrealistic physique expectations online have gotten. Plus, we go off on some signature tangents, reflect on body image goals that never seem to stop shifting, and try to make peace with the number on the scale. Spoiler alert: it’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about understanding your body and not taking advice from a guy shouting in the milk aisle.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are diving into the lunchbox—and the internet comment section. After stumbling across a viral post celebrating a very processed kid’s lunch, we found ourselves asking: when did feeding our kids turn into a participation trophy? We’re not here to shame anyone (we’ve served our kids ramen while editing nutrition episodes), but we are questioning why “fed is best” has become the final word on food. From school lunches to Uncrustables, chocolate milk to plant-based guilt, we’re unpacking what it really means to nourish our kids—and ourselves—without spiraling into mom guilt or a bag of Cheetos.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara sit down with registered dietitian and coach Andres Ayesta for a refreshingly honest conversation about what really drives our fitness goals. We dig into why goals like “toning up” or “losing weight” often fall flat, how to spot red flags in the coaching space, and why chasing surface-level outcomes can actually pull you further from what you really want. Andres shares how to reframe your health goals based on your values, build sustainable habits, and shift your mindset away from all-or-nothing thinking. Plus, we talk about TikTok food trends, nutrition myths, and what it actually means to “trust the process.” Whether you’re deep in a fitness journey or just tired of the toxic messaging, this one’s a goldmine.We're very excited to watch as Andres embarks on an experiment with switching from a whole foods diet to the carnivore diet.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are diving into a conversation that hits way closer to home than most of us like to admit—disordered eating. We’re not talking full-blown eating disorders here. We're talking about the ways so many of us have been conditioned to see food as "good" or "bad," to feel guilt for having a cookie, or to obsess over eating “clean.” Our amazing guest co-host Jodi Dolo from Mindful Muscle joins us for a raw and honest chat about the toxic narratives around food, the damage caused by unsustainable plans, and why “cheat meals” need to die already. We laugh (a lot), we rant (obviously), and we dig into what it really means to have a healthy relationship with food.Be sure to follow Jodi on social media where she shares her 90+ pound weight loss journey (and how she’s kept it off!), along with inspiration, motivation, and all-around badass-ery.Follow Jodi on InstagramFollow Mindful Muscle on Instagram and don't forget to catch new episodes every Thursday!Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Buckle up, because this week we're breaking down the different "commutes" you can take on your fitness journey: group classes, semi-private training, or personal training. Using a hilarious carpool/bus/solo drive analogy, we explore the pros, cons, and pure chaos of each approach. Caleigh shares why she prefers to ride her fitness moped solo (yes, moped), while Sara talks about her experiences from lone lifting to diva workout groups. Plus, a surprise ghost mic appearance and a little too much love for miniatures. Whether you're a lone wolf or a cardio class queen, this one will get you thinking (and laughing) about what works best for you.Jump in — and maybe honk at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the way.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.
