Articles about nutrition

Welcome to our nutrition articles — your go-to resource for understanding how food fuels your body. Here you'll find evidence-based guides on macronutrients, calorie counting strategies, and practical meal planning advice tailored for the Dutch market. Whether you're trying to understand nutrition labels at Albert Heijn, figure out how many calories are in a kroket, or learn about the NEVO database that Dutch dietitians rely on, our nutrition articles break down complex topics into actionable insights. From protein intake for muscle building to fibre-rich Dutch meals for better digestion, every article is written by the Moveno team to help you make informed food choices — no fad diets, no hype, just practical knowledge you can apply today. We write specifically for people eating in the Netherlands. That means our content covers the products you actually find on shelves at Jumbo, Albert Heijn, and Lidl. We explain how to read Nutri-Score labels on Dutch packaging, break down the Dutch dietary guidelines (Schijf van Vijf), and use real examples with meals you recognise — from a broodje kroket to a classic Dutch dinner of potatoes, meat, and vegetables. Our articles are grounded in the official Dutch food composition database (NEVO) and current nutritional research. No American portion standards or unfamiliar ingredients: everything you read here applies directly to your shopping list and kitchen routine in the Netherlands.
