This is a phrase often used by managers and human-resources personnel to describe a break in the work day set aside for food and drink. Rather that using the colloquial terms "coffee break" and "lunch", this phrase will often be invoked in an attempt to sound politically correct , educated and sophisticated. The phrase is most often used at work shops, meetings, seminars and focus groups hosted by public-sector organizations such as Universities.
Johnathan from HR:
"OK people, we are now going to take 15 minutes for a nutritional break. Please help yourself to coffee and muffins located at the back of the seminar room."

Get the Nutritional Fuck mug.The simultaneous acceptance of two contradictory beliefs about a food.
The term nutritional doublethink is derived from George Orwell’s book, 1984. In 1984, the ruling party encouraged doublethink, defined as the ability to simultaneously hold two contradictory thoughts in one's head without recognizing the contradiction. We can apply the concept of doublethink to nutrition.

Cookies and cream low-fat yogurt is an example of nutritional doublethink. Low-fat yogurt implies healthy, but inherently we know cookies are unhealthy. By accepting the food as both unhealthy and healthy, we are holding two contradictory concepts about a food in our head, without recognizing the contradiction.

Get the nutritional warfare mug.The study of food and diet through the principles of energy transfer, transformation, and metabolic efficiency. It goes beyond calories in/calories out to examine the thermic effect of different macronutrients (protein costs more to digest), the entropy of digestive processes, and how dietary composition influences metabolic rate and heat production. It's the science of eating as a thermodynamic engineering problem for the body.
Example: "Her nutritional thermodynamics approach was ruthless: 'That pastry is a high-entropy, fat-dense system with low thermic yield. It'll deposit energy with minimal metabolic work. This chicken and broccoli is a structured, high-protein load that'll raise my metabolic furnace temperature just breaking it down.' She was fun at bakeries."
