Episode 75: Feeding Kids in the Fast Lane – Three Simple Tips for Time-Poor Parents

Hi all! Karina here. This week on The Easy Feed Podcast, we're talking about something I know so many of us struggle with — how to feed our kids well when life feels like a constant race. Between work, school runs, sport, and everything in between, family nutrition can quickly fall down the list. But it doesn't have to.

In this episode, I share three simple, practical tips to help you nourish your family with ease — no overhauls, no guilt, and no complicated plans. These are strategies I use myself as a mum and paediatric dietitian to keep meals balanced, nutritious, and realistic for busy families.

If you've ever found yourself reaching for takeaway because the day got away from you, this one's for you.

Five Discussion Highlights

• 1. Plan loosely, not perfectly
  Why having a rough weekly meal rhythm — not a rigid plan — can simplify your week and reduce dinnertime stress.

• 2. The 3-3-3 method
  How to create structure and calm

• 3. Shop smart, shop intentionally
  How to make better supermarket choices that support a healthy diet for fussy eaters — and avoid the snack trap.

• 4. Connection over perfection
  Why calm, connected mealtimes matter more than every bite of broccoli.

• 5. Small wins add up
  How small, consistent changes build momentum and long-term healthy eating habits.
