Reason was the Apple fools our bodies and does something to it (can't remember what thro haha)

I like toast with butter, they were meant for each other. Lol6

Apples give me gas. Uhhhhhhhhh.
Generally foods traditionally eaten together were put together because they made a complete protein without requiring meat. 9 amino acids (of 20, the building blocks of protein) must be eaten, and you don't get most of the benefits of protein unless you get all 9 amino acids that need to be eaten. Animal proteins are complete proteins, but most non-animal protein foods need to be paired with other foods in order to make up all the amino acids needed for a complete protein. Generally, these are legumes and grains, such as beans and rice.
Dunno if apples and nuts are one of those, but that's what it made me think of.1 -
Are you talking food combining. I remember it from a while ago ........... have just found a series of items about this in a search, one is by the Acid Alkaline Association they say it reduces indigestion and acidosis. There are charts and information available.
In principal don't eat carbs with acid foods or concentrated proteins with concentrated carbs, only one concentrated protein at a meal, no protein with fats, or acid foods with protein and not to have sugar with carbs. The list is longer these are some of the headings, the page gives a detailed explanation of the whys and wherefores of the matter relating to the carious acids foods contain.
Many sports people are supposed to live by this, I know of one diabetic who improved his condition this way back in the 1980's. For me it is each to his/her own.
Hope this is of some help.1 -
Peanut butter and a spoon....11

I'm giving a side eye to advice from somewhere called the Acid Alkaline Association if their name indicates a belief that our bodies can be either of those and that we need to "fix" it with food. It's nonsense.
And carbs are broken down to sugars so that advice also makes no sense.
Seems arbitrary and over complicated.4 -

In general, I assume any advice geared toward "fooling your body" is bunk.
Regardless, eating shouldn't be rocket science. We wouldn't have survived and thrived as completely as we have as a species if it was so complicated to fuel our bodies. Just eat a well balanced and calorie appropriate diet :drinker:3 -
I have caffeine and candy together in order to fool my body into thinking I actually slept the night before and have the energy to get through my workout. Haha.

Yes!!
OP, just eat foods that taste good to you together. Nothing magical happens to an apple when you eat it with an almond vs without. I like to include a good source of fat with my carby snacks simply because fat is satiating to me, but everyone is different.1 -

Peanut butter and any other jam
Peanut butter and honey

Our bodies aren't "fooled" by any food. If you put all the voodoo nonsense aside, it's simple physiology. The body digests/metabolizes whatever nutrients are present in the food and excretes the waste. Any and all foods are nothing more than some combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and the body knows how to handle each one of those macronutrients. Taking them in in some different or particular combination doesn't "fool the body" into thinking they're something that they're not.1 -

I'm very surprised that Ipswich would use nutritionists instead of dietitians.
Although I know Mick McCarthy has bought in to woo at times. Maybe he has brought them in.1 -

Why do people have to be so rude?!
I remember the food combination thing; it was a biggie a few years ago but think it's been disproved. Nevertheless,I have a friend who lives and swears by it. To each their own.2 -

In the UK you can buy chocolate spoons for stirring coffee!3 -
There are some combinations that work, like iron rich food with vitamin c sources, because vitamin c helps with iron absorbtion, or calcium/vit a/vit d sources with fat, because fat helps with their absorbtion.
So, when eating iron rich food, like liver, lentils, spinach etc, pair it with lemon juice, orange juice or vegetables such as peppers, to increase iron absorbtion and avoid dairy, as it will prevent iron absorbtion.
If eating dairy for the calcium, it should not be zero fat, and if eating vitamin D fortified foods, eat also something with a bit of fat, oil etc. Apples are good sources of vit A, E and K, nuts contain fat, so probably the apple/nuts combo the trainer in the OP was talking about was about this. If eating spinach or broccoli which are rich in vitamin K, cook with some olive oil for better absorbtion. When eating tomatoes, again pair with olive oil or eat some cheese, plus cook your tomatoes with a little oil, as this helps absorb the lycopene better.
Probably lots of other combinations that are good for you, but these are the basic I remember.
@garygriffin your question was not stupid according to science, and neither was your trainer

Sounds confusing sod that, I stick to peanut with everything.
Peanut butter and marmite is a good mix peeps1 -

To be fair though, his trainer didn't say to eat apples with nuts to enhance nutrient absorption, he said to do it because it tricks your body into something. Which has no scientific basis, you can't trick your body into treating a food differently by eating it with something else.1 -

But having said that, apples and peanut butter is a great combination!2 -

If I'm honest I can't remember what he said all went over my head,
I ask again when I see him1 -

Yes to all of the above. Have you ever tried peanut butter and sweet potato? Or dipping carrots in peanut butter? Both are sooooo good0 -

That list, while good, has one egregious omission - Peanut butter on a hamburger. My favorite.
Yeah, it sounds gross. Try it once. It's life changing. 1 -

You absolutely do eat protein with fat (ask anyone who does a low carb/keto diet) and it's a bit hard not to have sugar with carbs when sugar IS carbs. Seems legit >.>0 -
