Quoted in Men's Health piece: "The Five Worst Things on Fast Food Menus Right Now" with Keri Gans and Vandana Sheth

Quotes include:

“Usually when people eat fast food, it’s 1,000 to 1,300 calories per meal,” says Angel Planells, R.D.N., C.D. “If your one meal is taking more than half your caloric allowance, you’ll overeat.”
“It’s like you took something that would be healthy and threw caution to the wind with all of these extra toppings,” says Planells.

Whole Foods Magazine: News to Nutritionists

Whole Foods Magazine: News to Nutritionists

I had the pleasure of contributing to an article on food trends after attending the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics annual Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) with fellow media spokespersons Toby Smithson, Lori Zanini, and Alissa Rumsey

Some quotes from the article include:

Angel Planells MS, RDN, CD explained that taking foods that are considered “sweet” and making them with a savory twist is an excellent way to increase consumption.
“Research is emerging to help people optimize their gut health and FODMAPS appears to be the new “it” trend”, said Planells.
“I really enjoyed the virtual reality booth at the Food & Nutrition Magazine exhibit. I was able to take an almond farm tour! This could be the future for many educational offerings such as virtual attendance at FNCE, farms, or factories,” said Planells.Nutrition is and will continue to be an emerging science. “Many consumers feel paralyzed by the daily nutrition and health pieces that demonize food and/or nutrients,” said Planells. “One day fat is the enemy and the next we are not eating enough fat. Click-bait nutrition articles sometimes stretch nutrition into an art and science especially when it comes to weight management with “detoxes,” “cleanses” or any other “it” topic. Also everyone who eats claims to be an expert! If Joe B or Susie Q has lost weight trying the XYZ diet, clearly everyone can do the same.” The best thing to do is to consult certified nutrition and diet experts and valid organizations such as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for up-to-the-minute information revealed at events like FNCE.

GetHealthie Blog: Transparency and Wellness Prominent at Nutrition Conference… Not Soda and Snack Foods

I had an opportunity to provide a quote on the article, Transparency and Wellness Prominent at Nutrition Conference, Not Soda and Snack Foods written by Zachari Breeding with quotes from Leah McGrath and Christy Wilson

My quote was:

Academy Spokesperson Angel Planells, MS, RDN, CDN agrees. “Compared to years past, the themed pavilions around the expo hall were outstanding. As the Academy continues to develop and implement a sponsorship policy, new exhibitors are required to share information on the products they will be promoting in their booths. Exhibitor materials may include nutrition fact labels, product labels, claims including corresponding published research and the exhibitor’s website.”
