There’s so much inspiration (and food porn) on Instagram that you could spend months, it seems, making yourself very, very, very hungry. But since you don’t have that kind of time, you should be picky about what you allow to take up space in your feed.
That’s why we asked nutritionists who their favorite foodie Instagrammers are. If nutrition experts follow them, they have to be good — and (fairly) healthy, too. Start following these people for mouthwatering photos, cooking hacks, permission to enjoy dessert and delicious yet easy recipes you’ll actually want to make.

ALI MAFFUCCI, @inspiralized
“Most all of us struggle to get enough veggies, and some of us benefit from replacing some easy-to-make, processed carbs like pasta,” says Brooke Kalanick, a naturopathic doctor and functional medicine practitioner. “I think spiralized veggies are the answer! Ali’s recipes are always delicious and fun.”
