Not macros. Not calorie counting. I start here.

One veggie bucket, one simple win — here’s how I coach real nutrition clients (and how you can too). There's a reason why I don't start 99.9% of new nutrition clients off with a macro-focused approach to nutrition coaching.
Happy 2-Tips Tuesday!
Here are two ideas to consider this week.
By Jennifer Broxterman, RD
1. Veggie Bucket:
The First Thing I Teach New Clients
When I start working with a brand-new nutrition client, I don’t begin with macros or calorie tracking.
I start with habits.
I start with environment.
I start with simple wins.
Here’s one of my favorites — the Veggie Bucket.
It’s a strategy I teach inside PRO$PER and use with almost every client to boost fiber, volume, and consistency (without tracking a single gram).
Watch how it works here:
👉 YouTube: The Veggie Bucket Strategy
Why this works:
- It’s simple and visual
- It turns good intentions into follow-through
- It solves the real problem: convenience and visibility
This lesson is one of many practical tools I share inside Powerful Progress, my done-for-you client curriculum included as a bonus when you join PRO$PER. (It’s plug-and-play right inside of Coach Catalyst.)
You get 6 weeks of client-ready lessons, videos, and worksheets — all designed to save you time and help your clients win.
If you love teaching through simple strategies like this,

2. What Happens When You Bet On Yourself
Steve Y, a coach who recently started watching my free Liftoff masterclass, sent me this after finishing the Veggie Bucket unit (the same video from above):
“I covered off 4 modules today. I will be implementing the veggie bucket this week… as I often struggle getting in enough veggies myself. I’m also writing up some notes to remember what’s really resonating with me!”
No one’s ready. Everyone’s figuring it out as they go.
The coaches who move forward?
They’re the ones willing to take the first step — and then the next.
If that’s you…
